We’re nearing the midway point of the WNBA season, with the All-Star Break just a couple of weeks away. That means there’s a pretty clear sense of who the league leaders are, but it also means there’s plenty of time for other teams to show us something special on the run to the postseason.

What to expect from Fever vs. Aces: A’ja Wilson vs. Caitlin Clark
The Aces are the defending champions, they’ve got the two-time defending MVP in A’ja Wilson, and they seem to be barreling toward another deep postseason run that could net them another WNBA championship. Wilson leads the league in scoring at this point in the season, and remains one of The W’s top rebounders and blockers. All that plus a home court advantage makes the Aces a favorite heading into this game.
But the Fever are not to be underestimated. There’s still in playoff contention in the current WNBA standings, and they bring a trio of talented stars to the fore, including two of the league’s top five scorers in Kelsey Mitchell and Caitlin Clark, who’s also one of the league’s top passers. Throw in Aliyah Boston putting up nearly nine rebounds per game and there’s every reason to think they can beat the Aces at home again, just like they did with a double-digit victory on July 5.
One other thing to consider, though: Both Wilson and Clark are dealing with injuries, Wilson with her leg and Clark with her back. They should both be back in action by Sunday night, but it’s worth keeping an eye on.
