Fire vs. Aces Prediction, Spread, Over/Under – Tuesday, July 28

Portland will look to open the second half of its inaugural season with a statement road upset against the defending champions. The Fire have impressed across their first 27 games, going 11-16 and sitting fifth in the West.

Unfortunately, starting guard Sarah Ashlee Barker suffered a torn ACL in the final game before the All-Star break and will miss the remainder of the season.

Barker was in the midst of a breakout sophomore campaign and played a key role in Portland's first two meetings with the Aces earlier this year. Las Vegas won both occasions, though the Fire put up a fight in an 88-80 loss just before the break.

The Aces have fielded one of the league's strongest offenses, but inconsistent defensive performances have been a significant factor in their eight losses. We saw a clear example of that in the Aces' most recent defeat to the Mystics before the break.

Washington, one of the league's worst offensive teams, put up 100 points on 49.3% shooting from the field and 53.8% from deep. Portland may look to replicate that kind of performance tonight. The Fire currently rank 10th in offensive efficiency at 1.014. Keeping pace with the Aces offensively will be a far greater challenge.

The champs rank second in both offensive efficiency (1.095) and true shooting percentage. Las Vegas is 7-5 at home, averaging a league-high 93.3 PPG. Portland allows the third-most PPG at 90.60 and could have a difficult time containing the Aces' potent offense.
