Las Vegas Aces vs Washington Mystics Prediction

The Washington Mystics may have won their last contest against the Aces, but that doesn't mean they're going to be the favorite to put in a repeat performance. Simply put, Las Vegas are too talented and too deep for them to ever be the underdog heading into a game.

As such, the Aces will be favorites once again, while the Mystics will be hoping that history can repeat itself as they look to continue stacking wins in the hope of breaking into the postseason seeding spots.

Las Vegas Aces vs Washington Mystics: Players to watch

A'ja Wilson and Kelsey Plum continue to set the WNBA ablaze with their diverse skill sets. In her last game, Plum registered eight assists, while Wilson racked up 14 rebounds - with both players scoring over 20 points. As such, it's fair to expect the Aces to lean heavily into their offensive upside once again.

For the Washington Mystics, Brittney Sykes and Natasha Cloud will likely find themselves operating as focal points in the offense. This season, Cloud is leading the Washington Mystics in assists per game, and her playmaking could be the key to unlocking a stern Aces defense.
