First Round: The Aces
Fever went 2-1 against the Aces this season, dropping their only game in OT. With both of their regular season wins came on the road, the Fever have shown that while home court advantage is definitely an advantage, it is not a game breaker.
The keys will be minimized turnovers and win the rebounding battle. Will have to make A’ja work for everything, she will undoubtedly get 20+ points, but it must be on 20+ shots, and not let her live at the FT line. Must also not let Jackie Young get open, clean looks from the perimeter. The loss of Nalyssa Smith will play a role in the series, as she averaged 11 & 8 in their three matchups.
Overall, the Fever match up well and have some advantages across the board.
Prediction: Fever in 3
