Minnesota Lynx vs Las Vegas Aces: Game Preview

The LV Aces, despite being on an away stretch, are the obvious favorites for this one. They have their three major superstars in rampant form and barring a blip against Phoenix Mercury, have won every game. The Aces have also seen their bench respond with better production since the beginning of the campaign.

Kate Martin has averaged five points per game off the bench while Sydney Colson has also contributed despite not starting a single match. The Lynx have won two straight games since their thrilling one-point defeat to the Connecticut Sun. However, they might find themselves struggling to contain a team that has yet to score less than 89 points in any game thus far.

We expect a high-scoring matchup in which the Aces end up winning due to their wealth of offensive threats.

Minnesota Lynx vs Las Vegas Aces: Prediction

The Minnesota Lynx are also in form and have multiple offensive threats that can pose a problem for the Aces. However, the Aces’ strengths, coupled with Diamond Miller’s absence imply that the defending champions enter this game as favorites. A lot will depend on Lynx's ability to contain Kelsey Plum, Jackie Young, and A’Ja Wilson.
