It appears like we’ve done this tune and dance all year with the Aces and Sky. Just about every time they play one another, there’s some significance.
First, the Sky’s resurgence. Then, the Aces’ win in the Commissioner’s Cup Championship and now the fight for the No. 1 seed and homecourt benefit throughout the playoffs. If the Sky win on Thursday in Vegas, they lock up the leading seed and if the Aces win, they will have the verysame record as Chicago however will own the tiebreaker with one videogame left on the schedule.
So, how will Thursday play out? In case you missedouton it: Las Vegas’ Dearica Hamby hurt her knee last videogame versus the Atlanta Dream and will missouton the next 2 to 4 weeks. Her injury is a HUGE blow to a group that currently doesnothave depth. Now, Vegas will have to figure out how to play without her versus the W’s finest and inmost group? I puton’t believe it goes well for the Aces.
The Pick: Sky ML
