Seattle vs. Las Vegas – WNBA Game Preview, Prediction and Player Props
Spread: Seattle -2.0 | Total: 161.0
Seattle Storm Breakdown
Seattle’s defense has gone from solid to suffocating, largely thanks to Gabby Williams and her elite two-way play. Williams racked up a franchise-record 8 steals in Tuesday’s demolition of the Sparks, as the Storm ran away with a 98-67 road win.
The win was Seattle’s fourth in five games, allowing them to leapfrog the slumping Aces in the standings. Williams, now averaging 14.1 points and 4.5 assists, also leads the entire WNBA with 32 steals, a full 10 more than any other player.
Coach Noelle Quinn isn’t being shy either, pushing for Williams’ All-Star bid: “She does everything. She’s irreplaceable.”
Also heating up is Nneka Ogwumike, who dropped 26 points on 75% shooting vs. L.A. and passed Tina Thompson for 4th in career field goals made. Seattle looks locked in with momentum, chemistry, and hustle all clicking at the right time.
Storm Prop Pick: Gabby Williams – Over 2.5 Steals The league’s steal queen continues to disrupt passing lanes with relentless intensity.
Las Vegas Aces Breakdown
The defending champs are reeling. Vegas has lost four of five, and Tuesday’s 76-62 loss to Minnesota marked a new low. Not only did they blow a 14-point lead, but they also coughed up 21 turnovers. That makes it 61 giveaways in their last three games, a disastrous stretch for a team that typically prides itself on clean offense.
Coach Becky Hammon didn’t mince words: “You’re turning it over every other minute. That’s a lot of possessions you’re handing away.”
Making matters worse is the uncertain status of A’ja Wilson, who has missed three games under concussion protocol. Wilson’s absence leaves a massive void, she leads the team in points, boards, assists, steals, and blocks.
With their MVP sidelined, the Aces have looked disjointed and hesitant. Jewell Loyd was a bright spot with 12 points and eight boards vs. Minnesota, but it wasn’t nearly enough.
Aces Prop Pick: Jewell Loyd – Over 4.5 Rebounds – With Wilson out, Loyd’s rebounding numbers should see a bump as she’s asked to do more.
Final Score Prediction:
Expect Seattle to control tempo and clamp down defensively. If they force turnovers early, they should cover the spread comfortably. Even at home, Vegas looks vulnerable, especially if Wilson remains out. Expect a gritty fight, but the Aces are likely to fall short against a red-hot Storm squad.
Best Bet: Seattle -2.0
Toral: Under 161.0
Final Score Prediction: Seattle 81, Las Vegas 74
Storm smother defensively, take care of the ball, and edge the Aces for a crucial road cover.
