The Indiana Fever face off against the Las Vegas Aces tonight in a decisive Game 5 of their 2025 WNBA Playoffs semifinals series.
The Fever’s presence in the postseason seemed almost accidental after losing Caitlin Clark and five other players to season-ending injuries. But they not only beat the No. 3 seed Atlanta Dream in the first round, they’ve also pushed the No. 2 seed Aces to the brink in the semis.
The Fever’s resilience has centered on the duo of Aliyah Boston and Kelsey Mitchell. Boston delivered 24 points, 14 rebounds, and 5 assists in Game 4, while Mitchell added 25. Mitchell has elevated her game this postseason, averaging 23.3 points per game — up from her 20.2 regular-season mark — including a 34-point eruption in Game 1 of this series.
The Aces, meanwhile, continue to lean on MVP A’ja Wilson, who scored 31 points in Game 4 and 25 in Game 2. Las Vegas outshot Indiana 49.3% to 44.8% on Sunday, but the Fever controlled the glass (34–22) and turned Vegas’ mistakes into fast-break opportunities, piling up 25 points off turnovers and 15 fast-break points.
The biggest difference came at the free-throw line, where Indiana outscored Las Vegas +16 (24-of-34 to the Aces’ 8-of-11).
Prediction
In a high-stakes finale, the Aces’ home court, experience, and star firepower give them an edge. But Indiana’s momentum and grit can’t be ignored. This will be close.
Prediction: Aces 88, Fever 84
