Las Vegas Aces
As last season's champion team, the season started off mediocre but has picked up form recently. Core players such as Wilson are still to be expected, especially Wilson's all-around performance against the Dallas Wings, which showed her ability as a top player in the WNBA.10
Seattle storm
On the other hand, there was a slump for a while after the loss of Stewart, but the Storm gradually found their form with the addition of new recruits, especially the outstanding performance of veteran Ohumike. They have shown good team chemistry and competitiveness with consecutive wins in recent matches.8
Statistically, both teams had a balanced offensive and defensive performance. The Aces have some firepower on the offensive end, but need to step up on the defensive end; the Storm, on the other hand, showed better balance on both offense and defense.
In past meetings, the Aces have been slight underdogs against the Storm, but that doesn't mean the Aces don't have a chance. Every game is a new beginning, and the Aces' home-field advantage can't be ignored.
Considering the strengths and recent form of both teams, we think both teams have a chance to put up high scores in this match. We expect this to be an offensive battle, given that both teams are strong on the offensive end.
With the above analysis, we predict that this game will be very close and both sides will have a chance to win. For the exact score, we expect it to be around 165.5.
