LVA vs SEA Dream11 Prediction WNBA Live Las Vegas Aces vs Seattle Storm

LVA vs SEA Dream11: The WNBA First Round ended with the favorites progressing to the Semis but matters were complicated in Game 1 of the Semis when the home teams lost. The Las Vegas will face a challenging terrain as they take on the Seattle Storm in Game 2 of the Semis.

The Aces were overwhelmed by the strong Storm defense in the first game but still took it to the wire losing 73:76 as Kelsey Plum missed a game-tying three from a favored angle. Jewell Loyd’s 26 points outburst and Tina Charles’ 18 rebounds were big contributions as the Storm drew the first blood. Can the Aces avenge the loss?

WNBA Projections, Stats & Analysis

Dance Number 2

The First Game saw the Storm shut down the Aces in first quarter, outscoring them 26:15, a parity that helped them maintain the lead for most parts. After outscoring the Storm by four in each of the next two quarters, the Aces were limited to 16 points in the last one and despite a sub-par second half, Seattle nabbed the win courtesy of their experience.

A’ja Wilson was shut down by the Storm defense whereas Jewell Loyd and Breanna Stewart combined for 50 points to bury the Aces. The Storm shot just 22.7% from three, making just five but the Aces only had one more triple with an abysmal percentage of around 27. The Aces defense was locked in but their offense will need to do much more. The Storm played without Gabby Williams, who is their elite defender but the Aces were still unable to solve the defensive riddle. How can the Aces bounce back after a lukewarm Game 1 offensive response?

Breanna continued where she left off and put up big numbers as expected in Game 1, shooting above 50% in a defensive-minded game. I believe she will be in 20+ points, 7-10 rebounds, and 1-2 steals/blocks range.

Kelsey Plum(LVA)
Points: 20

Jewell Loyd(SEA)
Points: 26

A’ja Wilson(LVA)
Points: 08
Rebounds: 12
Assists: 03
Blocks: 03
Wilson shot just 3/10 which meant that the Storm won the Forward match-up considerably so the MVP candidate will need to step up her game.

Expected Fantasy Points Range: 36-50

Sue Bird(SEA)

LVA vs SEA DREAM11 LINEUP BALANCERS

Jackie Young(LVA) had 11 points, 5 assists, 3 rebounds, 1 steal in the last game. Jackie attempted just 6 shots and made four free-throws, which can be considered a quite night compared to the standards she has set this season. I expect her to be in 12-16 points, 4-6 assists, 3-5 rebounds range.
Expected Fantasy Points Range: 22-37
Tina Charles(SEA) had 13 points, 18 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal, 1 block in the last game. Charles shot just 6/18 but her rebounding activity played a key role in limiting the Aces as the legendary scoring Center proved her signing worth it. I believe she will be in 10-15 points and 8-13 rebounds range here.
Expected Fantasy Points Range: 17-27
Kiah Stokes(LVA) had 4 points, 9 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal, 1 block in the last game. Throwback Center Kiah continues to provide solid rebounding and defense in the middle. I believe she will be in 4-8 points, 7-11 rebounds, and 1-2 blocks range here.
Expected Fantasy Points Range: 10-18

Expected Fantasy Points Range: 10-22
Stephanie Talbot(SEA) had 7 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists. 1 steal, 1 block in the last game. Talbot gave quality minutes pitching in as a starter due to Gabby’s injury. I expect her to be in 5-9 points, 3-5 rebounds, and 1-2 steals range.

Ilian Rupert(LVA) had 3 points, 1 rebound in the last game. Rupert played just 11 minutes but did a decent job. I believe she will be in 2-4 points and 2-4 rebounds range.
