WNBA predictions, picks, and odds for the Las Vegas Aces at Phoenix Mercury on September 8. WNBA betting best bet and game analysis.
favorite A’Ja Wilson, the Aces have shrugged off a few August wobbles and used a ruthless fourth quarter to blow out the Seattle Storm 103-77 on Saturday for a second straight win.
Beyond the return of Brittney Griner, this has been a forgettable season for the Mercury, who are rock bottom in the standings; Tuesday’s 100-77 thumping against the Washington Mystics was their ninth loss in a row.Aces vs Mercury best oddshave been such a potent offensive team this season that their late August mini-slump was enough to trigger a double-take.
But that 103-point avalanche in the win over the Storm featured all the trademark shot-making — and now the visitors have had the benefit of a five-day break. Wilson led the way with 30 points that night and four other Aces finished in double-digits. Las Vegas shot 47% from the field despite finishing 10-for-30 on triples, and I see Becky Hammon’s team delivering another lights-out performance here.
The visitors still have a little work to do to hold off the New York Liberty for the No. 1 seed — and, while Hammon would surely love to give her starters some extra rest if this turns into a blowout, I don’t expect the Aces to take their foot off the gas. Of course, another unstoppable regular season performance would also add to Wilson’s MVP credentials in what has become a too-close-to-call race with New York’s Breanna Stewart.this season, and Phoenix’s defense was shredded for 100 points in its last contest. I’m grabbing these odds for Las Vegas to post a big total tonight.
