SEA vs LVA Dream11: WNBA Playoffs have been as suspenseful as it gets and we have seen some incredible battles that will be etched deep in our memory. The series between the Seattle Storm and the Las Vegas Aces has been an instant classic and the Aces eked out a 110-98 OT win in an incredible effort once again, outlasting Breanna Stewart’s Storm.
The Storm and the Aces exchanged fireworks after fireworks but ultimately, the Aces closed the deal on the back of a strong 34 points performance by A’ja Wilson who received immense production from Chelsea Gray. The Storm had a much more balanced scoring effort but in the end, they were unable to match the dominance of the inside-outside game posited by the Aces. Can the Aces just close it out and advance or will this series keep bringing more surprises?
Host: Seattle Storm Visitors: Las Vegas Aces Match Timing: 7 September, @ 07:30 AM (+05:30 UTC) Venue: Climate Pledge Arena
The Storm refuse to go away
Game 3 between the two squads was in many ways one of the best WNBA Playoffs battles. Both teams For the Storm, only two players scored in double-figures, Loyd shot 2/10 and the backcourt of Bird and Loyd account for merely 14 points. The Aces didn’t play their best game but their 18-11 made free-throws edge gave them a huge edge. Both teams have been highly influential on the defensive end and there is no doubt that the scoring has come down in the Semis. Will it be the same again?
What has separated the two teams and has given the Aces an edge is a fact that Chelsea Gray has fired for them while Jewell Loyd has been not firing for most parts when it comes to the Storm. Tina Charles has been decent in the middle while the return of Gabby Williams’ bolsters Storm’s defense. Sue Bird continues to respond to the call whreas Kelsey Plum has also responded in a big way for the Aces. Can the Aces advance ahead?

*Stats from Game 3* Breanna Stewart(SEA) Points: 20 Rebounds: 15 Assists: 06 Steals: 01 Breanna has supplied a lot of quality and she has scored in numerous ways while also providing elite rebounding, strong playmaking, and serviceable defense. I believe she will be in 20+ points, 7+ rebounds, 3-5 assists, and 1-2 steals range. Expected Fantasy Points Range: 40-60
Kelsey Plum(LVA) Points: 16 Rebounds: 07 Assists: 07 Steals: 01 Kelsey shot just 6/19 in the last game but she is more than capable of turning it around as a long-range shooter, playmaker, and a microwave scorer. I believe she will be in 17-23 points and 4-7 assists range. Expected Fantasy Points Range: 28-40
Jewell Loyd(SEA) Points: 17 Rebounds: 01 Assists: 02 Loyd shot just 30% in the last game and will need to inflict much more damage at a high clip. I believe she will be in 16-22 points range. Expected Fantasy Points Range: 22-34
A’ja Wilson(LVA) Points: 34 Rebounds: 11 Assists: 01 Steals: 03 Blocks: 01 Forward Wilson has now found her groove and guess what, the Aces win a lot when she is at her best. She was killing it with her dribble drives and psot moves in the last game. I believe she will be in 20+ pointsand 10+ rebounds range. She can be selected as a Star/Pro Player in the Dream 11 Prediction scenario. Expected Fantasy Points Range: 36-50
Tina Charles(SEA) Points: 16 Rebounds: 05 Assists: 04 Blocks: 01 Tina has supplied high-quality rebounding but she has also given immense offense, being a great signee around the mid-season. I believe she will be in 12-17 points and 6-10 rebounds range. Expected Fantasy Points Range: 19-34
Chelsea Gray(LVA) Points: 29 Rebounds: 05 Assists: 12 Steals: 01 Blocks: 01 Guard Chelsea was doing a great job in the last game, and buried the Storm after making two big threes in the Overtime. I believe she will be in 16+ points, 5-8 assists, and 1-3 steals/blocks range. Expected Fantasy Points Range: 30-42
