Las Vegas Aces vs. Seattle Storm Prediction
I’m on the Aces in this one. I get the case to be made for the Storm as a home underdog as the Storm have been rock solid at home this season. However, the Aces are the better team and are trying to hold down the 3-seed in the playoff field. I wouldn’t be surprised if the Aces pulled their starters at some point, but the Aces are still the better team from a depth perspective as well and I look for the Aces to deliver here. Give me Las Vegas.
