Worth noting regarding the matchups:
-Indiana beat Vegas 2-1 in the regular season.
-They haven't played in almost 2 months though, and in the most recent matchup (July 24th), Indiana was starting Cunningham and McDonald, both of whom are out now. Both teams are very different.
-Indiana matched up well with A'ja Wilson the first 3 matchups, holding her to 42.8% FG, 5.3 rebounds per game and forcing her to commit 3.8 TOs per game.
-Aliyah Boston generally performed quite well and has better overall numbers than Wilson head to head in the 3 games this year. This is the most compelling matchup to watch.
Indiana could play spoiler here but I think Aces take it 4. They've won 18 of their last 19 and have the best player in the world on their team. She also is a magnet for drawing fouls and I think gets Boston into foul trouble throughout the series.
Minnesota and Phoenix:
-Minnesota won the series 3-1
-Neither team has ever been healthy in the matchups. Every game has missed at least 2 of Satou Sabally, Alyssa Thomas, Kahleah Copper and Napheesa Collier.
-3 of the 4 games the winning team scored below 80 points, I don't think we'll get a lot of high octane offense from either team.
I think this one goes the distance but Minnesota is the better team and wins in 5. Collier plays pissed off after not winning MVP and has a monster series.
