The WNBA schedule delivers one of its biggest regular-season matchups on Thursday night as A’ja Wilson and the Las Vegas Aces travel to Indianapolis to face Caitlin Clark, Sophie Cunningham and the Indiana Fever.
Indiana enters the contest tied with the Atlanta Dream for first place in the Eastern Conference at 19-11. Las Vegas currently sits at 21-9, 3.5 games behind the Minnesota Lynx for the top spot in the West.
The Fever had their five-game winning streak snapped Sunday in a 108-100 loss to the Lynx, but they’ll have plenty of confidence entering this showdown. Indiana has already beaten Las Vegas twice this season, including an 84-68 road victory on July 5 before following it up with an emphatic 109-75 win one week later.
Notably, Wilson and Clark both missed the first meeting, but both stars returned for the rematch, making Indiana’s second blowout victory even more impressive. Thursday marks the third and final regular-season meeting between the clubs, with the Fever looking to complete the season sweep.
Aces vs. Fever Odds
- Moneyline: Las Vegas -120 | Indiana +100
- Point Spread: Las Vegas -1.5 (-110) | Indiana +1.5 (-110)
- Total: 194.5
Best Bet for Aces vs. Fever

Kelsey Mitchell Over 23.5 Points (-110):Â Mitchell has scored 27 or more points in each of Indiana’s last four games as an underdog, including exactly 27 points in both victories over the Aces this season. She enters Thursday coming off a season-high 37-point performance against Minnesota, continuing one of the best stretches of basketball of her career.
Even removing the underdog trend, Mitchell has cleared this number in six of her last seven games. The lone exception was a 23-point outing against Connecticut on July 22, missing tonight’s total by just one point.
With Las Vegas likely focused on slowing Caitlin Clark, Mitchell should continue to find opportunities. Given her current form and recent success against the Aces, the lower total at 23.5 is a worthy play as she’ll look to extend that streak to five games.
