The Las Vegas Aces vs. Indiana Fever WNBA semifinals have been very dramatic so far, with the Caitlin Clark-less Fever upsetting the Aces on their home floor on Game 1. WNBA MVP A’Ja Wilson and the Aces bounced back with a statement victory for Game 2, but will they be able to win at Indiana now that they do not have homecourt advantage anymore?
Las Vegas Aces vs. Indiana Fever Game 3: Key Players to Watch
A’ja Wilson will be the anchor for the Aces. She just won the MVP award once again, and she wants to prove that she deserves that award, so expect her to step up and carry the Aces as she has always done. She struggled in Game 1, being limited to just 16 points, but exploded during Game 2 with 25 points, nine rebounds and an assist.
NaLyssa Smith also proved to be quite the presence on the floor, finishing with 18 points, seven rebounds, one assist and one steal to help the Aces win. Off the bench, Jewell Loyd has proven to be a great asset as she added 10 points, four rebounds and one assist.
As for the Fever, All-Star Aaliyah Boston has proven to be effective against A’ja Wilson, especially on Game 1, and is expected to step up her game now that Indiana is holding the home floor.
Kelsey Mitchell, who was dominant on Game 1 with a game-high 34 points, was contained to just 13 during Game 2, so expect her to try and explode once again now that they are back in Indianapolis.

Las Vegas Aces vs. Indiana Fever: What’s At Stake?
The Las Vegas Aces looked unstoppable during Game 2, but the question is, can they win at Indiana now that the Fever have shown that they could win? Should the Aces win, they will retake homecourt and probably play Game 5 back in Las Vegas. However, should the Fever win, they will just be one game away from the finals and they will be holding home floor during Game 4.
