The Las Vegas Aces (22-13) and Indiana Fever (19-17) meet Wednesday at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in the front end of a back-to-back set. Tip-off is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET (NBATV). Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Aces vs. Fever odds, and make our expert WNBA picks and predictions.
Season series: Aces lead 2-0
The Aces have not only won both meetings this season, but Las Vegas has won 13 consecutive games in this series since Indiana won 86-71 at home on Aug. 27, 2019. Indiana is a respectable 3-2 against the spread (ATS) in the past 5 in the series, although the Aces have covered both games against Caitlin Clark and the Fever this season.
For Vegas, superstar A’ja Wilson is averaging 28.5 points, 12.0 rebounds, 3.0 blocks, 1.5 assists and 1.5 steals per game in the 2 meetings with Indiana this season.
The Over-Under has split in the 2 battles this season, both in Las Vegas, while the total has gone low at a 7-2 clip in the previous 9 in the series.
Las Vegas is coming off a 75-71 loss against the top-seeded New York Liberty at Barclays Center in Brooklyn on Sunday, although it covered as 9.5-point underdogs. The Aces have covered a season-high 5 in a row. In fact, that cover streak comes on the heels of an 0-9 ATS skid, and Las Vegas was a dismal 10-20 ATS prior to the impressive run.
The Under has cashed in 3 in a row for Vegas, while going 11-4 in the past 15 outings. The Under has cashed on the 1st 2 games of this 4-game road trip, too.
Indiana is coming off a thrilling 104-100 overtime home victory Sunday against the Atlanta Dream, although it just missed covering as a 5-point favorite as the Over (171) comfortably cashed. Clark was sensational, going for 26 points, 12 assists and 4 3-pointers, although she did have 9 turnovers, too. But, it was Aliyah Boston who led the way with 30 points, 13 boards, 5 dimes and a blocked shot.

Aces at Fever picks and predictions
Prediction
Aces 96, Fever 90
Moneyline
Las Vegas (-154) has dominated this series over the past half-decade, winning 13 consecutive meetings since 2019, including the 2 installments this season against Clark.
However, backing the Aces on the moneyline makes little sense, unless you’re absolutely set on an Aces win, but only by a single point.
PASS, and lay the points instead.
Against the spread
Back LAS VEGAS -3 (-110), as it enters on a season-high 5-game cover streak. Between that, and the fact the Aces have won 13 straight in this series, you have to fade Indiana +3 (-110) until it proves it can get over the hump against the defending champs.
Over/Under
OVER 178 (-110) is a big number, but a strong play nonetheless.
The Over has cashed in 5 in a row for the Fever, as they’ve hit the century mark on offense in 3 of those outings. Indiana shouldn’t have nearly the same kind of offensive freedom against Las Vegas, but it still had a respectable 88 points in a loss against the No. 2 seed Minnesota Lynx in the game Friday, so it doesn’t seem to matter who is on the other side, Indiana is dictating the pace.
