Las Vegas Aces will begin their WNBA campaign with a home matchup against Phoenix Aces on May 14. Phoenix enters this matchup looking to improve their 9-31 win-loss record last season. They averaged 76.6 PPG, which was 12th in the league. However, this wasn't enough to earn them a playoff spot, which they missed for the first time since 2012. They now have their work cut out in the first game against the Aces, who are the team to beat after a 36-4 record last season. Las Vegas enters this season off back-to-back championship victories and in the third year under coach Becky Hammon. Key players like A'Ja Wilson and Kelsey Plum will again lead them this season. Bookmakers are sure they can start their title defense with a 16-point win margin against the Mercury.Las Vegas Aces vs Phoenix Mercury Form

Our Las Vegas Aces vs Phoenix Mercury Prediction
Las Vegas Aces will hope to start the season brightly by making a statement against the Mercury. The last time they lost to Phoenix Mercury was in October 2021 after a closely contested 84-87 matchup. A'Ja Wilson enters this campaign off the back of an impressive season where she registered an average of 22.9 points and 9.5 rebounds per game. Although backing them as the 16-point favorites might be too risky, they can blow away any side off the court when in the mood.
