My Prediction
New York Liberty by 4Just a note to our friends at home, remember the house always wins, but let's delve into the upcoming matchup between the Las Vegas Aces and the New York Liberty.
The Aces have a solid squad with A'ja Wilson leading the charge, averaging a whopping 21.9 points a game this season, not forgetting the help from Jackie Young and Chelsea Gray both putting up some satisfactory numbers as well. However, their recent regular season performance barely scrapes the .500 mark. It presents a question whether their stars can shine brightly when it matters or will they flicker out?
On the contrary, we have the Liberty who appear set to clasp their apple-embossed hands onto victory. I mean, you'd be hard pressed to not like their chances. The Liberty has Breanna Stewart and Sabrina Ionescu, each pulling their weight impressively, scoring above 18 points a game this season. Also, let's not forget that NY's recent results have been mostly positive. And their regular season record? Certainly more love from the win column compared to the Aces, that's for sure.
Previous encounters between these two sides have been quite a seesaw battle albeit the scales tipping more towards the Liberty in recent matches. And here's a quirky fact, the Liberty are sitting pretty as number two in the WNBA standings compared to the Aces who barely crack the top 8. If we were putting money on this match, clipboard guys and analytics nerds might be putting their faith in New York.
