FEVER VS. ACES: High-Stakes Showdown with ‘Stranger’ Style
It’s Thursday night at Gainbridge Fieldhouse, and things are about to get… strange.
The Indiana Fever (12-12) return home looking to exorcise recent demons and cool off the scorching-hot Las Vegas Aces (12-11). Indiana, who split their earlier meetings with the Aces, is aiming for a season series win—and will do so wearing their newly-relaunched “Stranger Things” jerseys.
After back-to-back road losses in New York, the Fever are hungry for a home-cooked win. All-Star guard Kelsey Mitchell lit it up in Tuesday’s game with 29 points, but it wasn’t enough to stop a Liberty run that flipped a late Fever lead into a double-digit defeat.
Now, they’ll face an Aces squad riding a three-game win streak, powered by the unstoppable A’ja Wilson. The MVP candidate is averaging a monstrous 31.7 points and 12.7 boards during the streak, and Indiana will need their post duo of Aliyah Boston and Natasha Howard to rise to the challenge.
Tipoff is set for 7:00 p.m. and fans can catch the action on Amazon Prime, WTHR, or Fever Direct, or tune in to 93.5/107.5 The Fan on the radio. With playoff positioning on the line, and Hawkins-style flair on the floor, this isn’t just a basketball game—it’s a showdown in the Upside Down.
