The Aces have only lost twice since Aug. 2, to the Seattle Storm in the first round and Game 1 against the Fever. They have been playing like a contender since an embarrassing 111-58 loss to the Minnesota Lynx.
The two teams faced each other three times in the regular season, with the Fever winning two. However, those three matchups happened before the Aces' 16-game winning streak.
After two playoff games, the Fever have a chance to finish the series on their homecourt.

Las Vegas Aces vs. Indiana Fever Betting Tips
A'ja Wilson has an over/under of 25.5 points via FanDuel for Game 3. Wilson is favored to go OVER (-122) despite averaging just 20.5 points in the first two games of the series. But since it's a must-win for the Aces, bet on Wilson to score at least 26 points
Kelsey Mitchell is favored to go OVER (-128) 19.5 points against the Aces via FanDuel for Game 3. Mitchell had 34 points in Game 1 but was limited to 13 points in Game 2. With the Fever playing at home, the crowd should energize the lefty to score 20 points or more.
Las Vegas Aces vs. Indiana Fever Prediction
The Aces are slightly favored to beat the Fever and take a 2-1 series lead. However, the fans inside the Gainbridge Fieldhouse are different, so this game could go either way. The prediction is an upset win for Indiana, with the total going OVER 162.5 points.
