The latest<\/strong>: The Las Vegas Aces handled business at home, winning both games. Now, the series moves to Phoenix, where the Mercury are 18-8 overall this season. A’ja Wilson has been the MVP for the Aces, but Jackie Young has provided a huge spark as Vegas’ second option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Check out my best Aces vs. Mercury predictions, featuring prop bets on Young and Kahleah Copper for Game 3 of the WNBA Finals on Oct. 8.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aces vs. Mercury predictions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Best bet:<\/strong> Young over 21.5 points\/assists (-121)<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Young has been a stud for Las Vegas in the playoffs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She’s averaging 20.6 points and 4.9 assists and is 7-3 against this line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Young is coming off an outstanding Game 2. The guard scored 32 points on 12-of-20 shooting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Aces are relying on their top players, and Young runs the offence alongside Wilson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She’s playing 34.6 minutes per night, averaging 14.2 shot attempts per game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As things continue to get more important, Young should continue playing a lot of minutes and taking a load of shots. She’s also a formidable three-point shooter (34.5%), which helps inflate her scoring numbers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key stat<\/strong>: Young finished with 21+ points\/assists in both of her games in Phoenix during the regular season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WNBA prop picks<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Copper over 17.5 points (-109)<\/strong>:<\/strong> Copper has carved herself a role as a reliable secondary option behind Alyssa Thomas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The versatile wing has scored 21+ in both games to start this series and will need another strong effort to keep Phoenix in the series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She’s attempting north of 13 shot attempts in the postseason, which gives her a solid floor as a scorer. Additionally, 5.3 of those shots are 3-pointers, and she hits 90.9% of her free throws. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Copper is on a tear, also, hitting this over in three of her past four games while averaging 21.8 points. She shot 50.9% from the field and hit 42.3% of her threes during that time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
