The Indiana Fever and Las Vegas Aces are tied in the WNBA semifinals. Here's where to watch Game 3, start time, expert prediction, betting odds.

It may seem like a given: One of the best players ever, a reigning champion, being named the top player in a league that still is some levels away from being one of the world’s best. Yet, Messi faced stiff competition for the award this year, as a true race developed.

Game 2 is scheduled for 8:30 p.m. CT Tuesday, Sept. 23, at Michelob Ultra Arena in Las Vegas. The game will be broadcast on ESPN with Pam Ward and LaChina Robinson on the call. Date: Tuesday, Sept. 23 ESPN's matchup predictor gives the Aces a 62.5% chance of winning.

Let’s make a lineup. I think the Guardians will call up Johnathan Rodriguez to replace David Fry. Hopefully, they will get some positive news about his recovery, but there’s no way he avoids an IL stint. So, here’s my proposed lineup:

Cardinals left tackle Paris Johnson Jr. (questionable, knee) is expected to play tonight vs. Seahawks, per source. Johnson missed last week’s game but slated to return for TNF.
