Aces vs. Fever Prediction
Take A’ja Wilson to go over 11.5 rebounds. This will be the fourth matchup between these two teams this season. They first met in Vegas on May 25 and in that game, Wilson finished with 15 rebounds. When these teams met in early July, Wilson finished with 28 points but only nine rebounds as Kiah Strokes dominated the glass. That said, Wilson finished with 12 rebounds on Wednesday when these two teams met in Indiana. Twelve seems to be a safe floor for Wilson. She’s grabbed at least 12 rebounds in four of her last five games, with the lone exception being at Connecticut last Friday when she only grabbed eight boards. Otherwise, again, I believe 12 is a safe bet for rebounds for Wilson tonight.
