Going into Monday night, the Aces are the best of the 12 WNBA teams in the league, as they enter with a 12-1 overall record. Indiana is 5-8 on the season so far, but that is a huge improvement following a season where they went 5-31 for the entire 2022 campaign.
Indiana Fever: Looking to Land a Monumental Upset
The Indiana Fever enter this week of WNBA action in eighth place in the WNBA standings, which would be good enough to make the playoffs if the regular season ended today. According to this season’s WNBA stats, Indiana has the third-best offensive rating in the league so far. They will look to use their offense to remain competitive with the Aces here.
Las Vegas Aces: Staying Focused So Far
The Las Vegas Aces have built a comfortable lead in the WNBA standings already, as they have lost only one game. Las Vegas leads the WNBA in scoring at 93.2 points per game, but it is their defense that has been especially impressive. Becky Hammon’s team ranks second in points allowed at 77.2 points per game, and that defense will be put to the test by the Fever.
Key Injuries
From an injury perspective, the Aces have the advantage going into this matchup against the Fever. Las Vegas does not have a single name on its injury report heading into this contest, as all of their key players are good to go in this matchup. Meanwhile, Indiana is set to be without guard Grace Berger, who has provided a nice lift off the bench for them when healthy.

Indiana Fever vs. Las Vegas Aces Betting Prediction
Our top Fever vs Aces betting pick for Monday night is for these teams to combine to go over the 172-point total for this matchup. These teams combined for 189 points on Saturday, and we should see them put up big numbers again, as they both rank in the top three in offensive rating on the year.
We should also see the Fever cover the 15-point spread in this contest. While the Aces are clearly the superior team in this matchup, the Fever will be able to keep things competitive by competing on the glass through Rookie of the Year frontrunner Aliyah Boston.
