Las Vegas Aces Vs. Connecticut Sun Prediction

I’m on the Aces here. I just think which of these two teams is more likely to right the ship after a rough start to the year for different reasons and without hesitation I think it’s Las Vegas. The Aces are a four-headed monster with Wilson, Young, Gray and Loyd (even though Jewell Loyd struggled in her Aces debut) and more often than not are just going to overpower their opponent. I think it was just a lack of chemistry in game one. The Sun are in a rebuild, and while they gave the Mystics everything they had in game one, I just think that the Sun fold a lot easier in this game. Give me the Aces laying the big number.
