There are three matches lined up for us on Friday. Right now, let us discuss Indiana Fever vs Las Vegas Aces.
Indiana Fever vs Las Vegas Aces: Preview
Las Vegas Aces have guaranteed their spot in the Playoffs. The Western Conference giants have had a marvelous season and are now leading their conference.
It’s not surprising at all. They have shown splendid form this season. Home to elite players like A’ja Wilson, Chelsea Gray and Dearica Hamby, the team has never missed an opportunity to assert their dominance in the league.
Not just the Playoffs, they even have a 45% chance of making it to the Finals.
Their opponents, the Indiana Fever will host the Aces on Friday. They are not having a good season one bit as they are at the bottom of the Eastern Conference.
The Fever have only won 5 matches out of their 30 total matches. Their disappointing performance pretty much solidifies their lack of a spot at the Playoffs.
Kelsey Mitchell is the only player who has been consistent with her performance throughout the season, but isn’t basketball a team sport? A single player can not lead the team to victory, unfortunately.
