Las Vegas Aces vs. Connecticut Sun Prediction, Pick, Odds for Friday, September 6
Aces Look to Extend Lead in Finals, Sun Aim to Force Game 5
Las Vegas is one win away from securing the 2022 WNBA Championship, while Connecticut hopes to avoid elimination.
The Las Vegas Aces hold a 2-1 lead over the Connecticut Sun in the best-of-five WNBA Finals, as the two teams prepare to face off in Game 4 on Friday, September 6. Las Vegas is looking to close out the series and secure its first WNBA title, while Connecticut is aiming to force a Game 5 and extend its season.
The Aces have been the more dominant team throughout the series, winning both games in Las Vegas by an average of 10 points. A'ja Wilson has been sensational for the Aces, averaging 20.3 points, 10.7 rebounds, and 4.3 assists per game. Kelsey Plum and Chelsea Gray have also been key contributors, averaging 18.7 and 17.3 points per game, respectively.
The Sun, however, have shown they are capable of competing with the Aces. In Game 3, Connecticut held Las Vegas to just 29.2% shooting from the field and forced 16 turnovers. Jonquel Jones led the way for the Sun with 24 points and 14 rebounds, while Alyssa Thomas added 17 points and 9 rebounds.
Game 4 is a must-win for the Sun, who will need to find a way to slow down Wilson and the Aces' high-powered offense. Connecticut will also need to improve its shooting, as it has shot just 37.9% from the field in the series.
The Aces, on the other hand, will be looking to close out the series and avoid a Game 5. Las Vegas will need to continue to play its aggressive style of basketball and force the Sun into turnovers.
Prediction
The Aces are the more talented team and have shown they are capable of winning on the road. They are also one win away from securing the championship, which will give them added motivation. I predict the Aces will win Game 4 and clinch the WNBA title.
