The Las Vegas Aces (30-14) look to bounce back as they host the Indiana Fever (24-20) in Game 2 of the WNBA Playoffs semifinals. Tip-off is set for Tuesday, Sept. 23, 2025, at Michelob ULTRA Arena in Las Vegas, with coverage on ESPN.
The Fever shocked the defending champions with an 89–73 victory in Game 1, powered by Kelsey Mitchell’s 34 points. Indiana now has momentum — but also major roster limitations. Caitlin Clark, the 2024 Rookie of the Year and one of the league’s biggest stars, will not be available for the postseason after being left off Indiana’s active playoff roster.

📊 Insight: The Aces and Fever are nearly identical statistically, but Indiana’s efficiency in Game 1 (50% FG, 94% FT) gave them the edge.
Aces Leaders
- A’ja Wilson: 23.4 PPG, 10.2 RPG, 2.3 BPG, 85.5% FT
- Chelsea Gray: 5.4 APG (playmaking anchor)
- Jackie Young: 19 points, 7 rebounds in Game 1
Wilson’s dominance inside remains the Aces’ best weapon. She’ll need to take over after being held to 16 points in Game 1.
Fever Leaders
- Kelsey Mitchell: 20.2 PPG (scored 34 in Game 1)
- Aliyah Boston: 8.2 RPG, 3.7 APG (two-way force)
- Boston’s Defense: 1.2 steals, 0.9 blocks per game
Indiana thrives when Mitchell’s shooting is hot and Boston controls the paint. That duo combined for 45 points and 19 rebounds in the opener.
Caitlin Clark Injury & Roster Update
Will Caitlin Clark play in the WNBA playoffs? Caitlin Clark, sidelined with a right groin injury, is officially ineligible to return this postseason, even if she were healthy. WNBA rules require teams to submit their playoff active rosters before the postseason begins. Any player not included cannot participate in the playoffs.
- Clark was limited to 13 games this season due to multiple injuries (quad, groin, ankle).
- Alongside Clark, Sydney Colson, Aari McDonald, Sophie Cunningham, and Chloe Bibby were also excluded due to season-ending injuries.
- The Fever entered the postseason with 11 active players, four of them on hardship waivers (Odyssey Sims, Aerial Powers, Shey Peddy, Bree Hall).
- Damiris Dantas, listed on the active playoff roster but in concussion protocol, has missed all three postseason games so far. She would be eligible to return later in the series if cleared.
📌 Impact: Indiana has defied expectations without Clark, but their thin roster depth makes sustaining this playoff run against the experienced Aces a serious challenge.

🎯 SGP Prediction: Aces 84 – Fever 75
- Wilson dominates inside, Mitchell keeps Indy competitive, but Vegas evens the series.
Betting Insights
- Against the Spread (ATS):
- Aces: 16-18 ATS at home
- Fever: 19-15 ATS as underdogs
- Totals:
- Aces: 18 unders in last 30 games
- Fever: 4 of last 6 unders
With both defenses top-eight in points allowed, the under feels like the stronger play.
Final ClutchBuzz Pick
The Fever shocked the Aces in Game 1 behind Mitchell’s hot hand and Boston’s inside presence. But Las Vegas is too experienced to drop two in a row at home. Expect A’ja Wilson to post a monster double-double and the Aces’ defense to tighten up.
🔥 Final Prediction: Aces 84 – Fever 75
- Best Bet: Fever +9
- O/U: Under 165
- Moneyline: Aces -437
