My Prediction
Las Vegas Aces by 9Now if I had a nickel for every time people underestimated the Las Vegas Aces, well let's just say I'd be buying my own drone to get those up-close action shots. Let's dive into this. Los Angeles Sparks are coming in with the likes of Kelsey Plum, Dearica Hamby and Azurá Stevens, the three musketeers of the Sparks. Plum's been lighting up the court, averaging a cool 25.2 points per game this season. But remember, basketball isn't as simple as one woman show.
Over on the Aces corner, we've got A'ja Wilson and Jackie Young, tossing balls into baskets like they were born to do it. Wilson's a beast, averaging 20.8 points per game and 10.8 rebounds, she could probably play in her sleep. But let's not forget how the Aces took the past matchup with an impressive 87 to 71 score. The Aces know how to ace the Sparks and those victory vibes tend to linger.
Taking a peek at the current standings, Las Vegas Aces are at a respectable No. 6, while the Sparks are trailing at No. 10. Let's not pretend that's not a canyon-sized gap in performance. Aces are clearly flapping their wings harder. But don't go betting the farm yet. It's basketball, a game full of surprise buzzer-beaters, and unexpected ankle rolls.
In terms of recent results, both teams are coming off a mixed bag. Lost some, won some. The trick isn't just counting the wins, it's looking at who they're against. Los Angeles Sparks fell short on their last game versus Atlanta Dream with 82 to 88 and the Aces bowed to the Seattle Storm with a more considerable margin.
For a living proof that world is unfair, Aces are still favored here by a substantial margin. But don't trust me fully, I'm just a man with an ironic necktie and a mic who likes to pretend he knows what's going to happen. Here it is:
