LVA vs PHO Dream11 Prediction , Aces vs Mercury WNBA Fantasy, Stats

And then there were four. The WNBA Semi-Finals will be in full swing and the battles are going to get only more intense.

LVA vs PHO Dream11 Prediction

Both teams play contrasting brands of basketball. Vegas is all about pushing the ball up the floor while Mercury relies upon set-pieces and has a half-court-oriented offense. Vegas present more athleticism while Mercury is more about finesse. The frontline of Aces with Young-Wilson-Cambage is formidable where Wilson and Young are superb fast break options while Cambage plays great post-position basketball.

Phoenix establishes inside position through Griner and Turner, who are physical low-post scorers. Mercury also has terrific shooters in Nurse, Diana, and Skylar, where Diana and Skylar can also break down the defense and take it to the rack while also being playmakers. Aces also have terrific shooters in Riquna, Plum, and Gray, who will pose multiple challenges. In terms of the bench, Aces have the advantage with Plum and Hamby off the bench, while Mercury will hope Cunningham repeats the magic of the first round.

Mercury’s ace Griner is going to be difficult for Cambage to guard in the post but the combination of Wilson and Cambage can relay her stiff scoring. Who has the advantage? If Aces get their running game on then Mercury is in trouble, however, one must never discount the talent of Griner, Taurasi, Sklyar, Nurse, and Turner.

Brittney Griner

Blocks: 02
Griner is a nightmare to deal with in the post not only because of her size but her various scoring moves. She can use hooks, switch-hand layups, and can also utilize post-fadeaways and stand-still jumpers. Her ability to rebound, defend, and pass on the post, makes her an MVP type of player.

Assists: 06
