- What: WNBA Regular Season Game
- When: August 21, 2025
- Who: Phoenix Mercury vs. Las Vegas Aces
- Time: 7:00 p.m. PST
- Where: Michelob ULTRA Arena (Las Vegas, NV)
The Aces and Mercury face off for the second time in four games, with Las Vegas taking the win in their last meeting. This marks their fourth and final regular-season matchup, and the Aces currently lead the series 2-1.
Back on July 25, Las Vegas sat at 12-13 and looked headed for an early playoff exit. Since then, the Aces have surged, going 10-1 with their only loss coming against the top-seeded Lynx.
The team now looks like a genuine title contender, especially after moving Jewell Loyd to the bench. A’ja Wilson continues to shine, scoring 30 or more points in three straight games and four of her last five—including the first 30-point, 20-rebound game in WNBA history.
The Mercury remain a formidable opponent, having won five of their last seven games, though one loss came in a close 86-83 contest against Las Vegas. Phoenix has been solid at home (11-6) and on the road (10-7), so they could fight in this rematch.
Despite Phoenix’s strong season, betting against the red-hot Aces is tough.
With their recent 10-1 run and home-court advantage, Las Vegas has quickly transformed from a possible early exit to a championship contender.
They are favored by just 1.5 points; take the Aces to keep the hot streak going and cover this game.
Best Bet: Aces -1.5 points at -110 odds
August Record: 3-2 +1.05 units
