Las Vegas Aces vs Phoenix Mercury Betting Preview

Mercury Soar Up the League Rankings

In Phoenix’s double overtime win, three players scored over 20 points. Brittney Griner logged 38 minutes and scored 24 points. Kahleah Copper led the team with 29 points, despite shooting 9 for 22 from the field. Diana Taurasi also contributed significantly, adding 20 points.
The Mercury have climbed to seventh in the league in scoring, averaging 80.3 points per game. They rank second in three-point shooting, making nearly 10 threes per game, and are fifth in rebounding, with an average of 35 per game.

Phoenix will stay at home for their next two WNBA matchups, hosting the Seattle Storm on Sunday and the New York Liberty on Tuesday. Following these, they will travel to Minnesota next weekend.

Aces Look to End Skid, But Defense Remains a Concern

Las Aces Vegas enters the game ranked third in the WNBA team stats in scoring, averaging 85.7 points per game. However, during their three-game losing streak, they have allowed over 91 points per game. Addressing this defensive lapse is crucial for them to regain their championship form.

A’ja Wilson has been the standout for the Aces, averaging over 28 points and 11.4 rebounds per WNBA player stats. Kelsey Plum has also been strong, with 18.7 points per game, while Jackie Young is contributing 16.9 points per game. In their recent loss, Wilson scored 28 points, Plum had 13, and Young managed just 6.

After this game, the Las Vegas Aces will return home for a three-game stretch. They will face the New York Liberty on Saturday, the Seattle Storm on Wednesday, and the Connecticut Sun on Friday.
