Phoenix Mercury vs. Las Vegas Aces Prediction

I’m on the Aces here. I get the case to be made for the Mercury as I’ve been on the boat that this Mercury team is one of the best in the WNBA when fully healthy and at their peak. However, I’ve been saying it all along, that the Aces are finally getting their act together and playing like the team so many people expected them to be this season but expected it a lot earlier than what it’s been so far. Either way it’s better late then never with the Aces for me, and I think the Aces get the job done at home here. Give me Las Vegas.
