Phoenix Mercury vs Las Vegas Aces Preseason Game Preview and Prediction
SHARE

The Phoenix Mercury are gearing up for a new era as they prepare to face the Las Vegas Aces in their first game without WNBA legend Diana Taurasi. This marks the first time since 2004 that the Mercury will hit the court without Taurasi leading the team. Instead, newly acquired stars Alyssa Thomas and Satou Sabally will take on the mantle and lead Phoenix in this new chapter.

On the other hand, the Las Vegas Aces are looking to secure their second preseason win as they play in front of their home crowd. The Aces dominated the Dallas Wings in their previous game with a convincing 112-78 victory. After falling short in their bid for a three-peat last season, the Aces appear to be motivated and ready to challenge for the championship once again.

The departure of Diana Taurasi prompted a roster overhaul for the Phoenix Mercury, with Brittney Griner also deciding to leave the franchise after 11 years. This has paved the way for new faces like Alyssa Thomas, Satou Sabally, and Kalani Brown to step up and make their mark. Coach Nate Tibbetts faces the challenge of building team chemistry and integrating new players into the lineup.

In addition to Taurasi and Griner, the Mercury also bid farewell to players like Sophie Cunningham and Natasha Cloud. Tibbetts will need to quickly integrate veteran guards Sevgi Uzun and Sami Whitcomb into the team as they aim for another successful playoff run.

On the other side, Las Vegas Aces coach Becky Hammon showcased her team’s chemistry in their previous game, where they displayed a well-coordinated performance against the Dallas Wings. With seasoned players like A’ja Wilson, Kiah Stokes, Jackie Young, and Chelsea Gray on the roster, the Aces looked like a cohesive unit on the court.

The addition of Jewell Loyd in the offseason has further strengthened the Aces’ lineup, and Hammon may give more playing time to rookies and training camp invitees after their dominant performance in the preseason opener.

As the two teams face off, Phoenix Mercury coach Nate Tibbetts will rely heavily on Alyssa Thomas to lead the team and build chemistry, drawing comparisons to the legendary Diana Taurasi. However, the Las Vegas Aces are likely to emerge victorious in this matchup, given their strong performance in the preseason. If Hammon chooses to give more opportunities to her rookies and second-string players, the Mercury could potentially pull off an upset win.

In conclusion, the matchup between the Phoenix Mercury and the Las Vegas Aces promises to be an exciting game as both teams adjust to new dynamics and aim for success in the upcoming season. With talented players on both sides, fans can expect a competitive and thrilling game on the court.
