Seattle Storm vs Las Vegas Aces Predictions, Head to Head, Betting Odds, Best Picks, Predicted Line-ups, Match Preview: WNBA

Storm locks horns with Aces yet again. Let's discuss Seattle Storm vs Las Vegas Aces predictions, odds, important players, etc.

As we have almost reached the end of the regular season, the remaining games are very crucial for the qualified sides to not lose the form and start the postseason on a strong note. This Sunday, the action begins with Seattle Storm vs Las Vegas Aces for the next WNBA fixture.

The Storm is coming off a thumping win against the Lynx in the last game. It was a dominating performance from Breanna Stewart as she scored her season-high 33 points with 8 rebounds and 5 assists. Jewell Lloyd also played well and secured 17 points with 5 assists. The Storm will look to send a strong message across both conferences with a win against the mighty Aces.

The Las Vegas Aces will aim to get back their ruthless form when they meet the Storm at the Climate Pledge Arena in the upcoming matchup. Two consecutive losses must be frustrating for Las Vegas at this stage of the tournament.

In the last game, they faced a close defeat to the Wings by a margin of just 2 points. Chelsea Gray turned out to be the top performer for the Aces in that game as she finished with 28 points and 5 assists. The Aces will need a more comprehensive contribution from the starters to put pressure on Seattle.
