The Las Vegas Aces, the two-time reigning champions, open the 2024 season at home against Diana Taurasi and the Phoenix Mercury, who finished with the worst record in the WNBA last season, winning just nine games.
As expected the odds for this matchup show that we could be in for a lopsided game, as the Aces are favored by 16.5 points.
Both teams are down key players in this matchup, as Chelsea Gray has been ruled out for Las Vegas while Brittney Griner (fractured toe) will not play for the Mercury.
Should bettors lay the massive number with the WNBA’s best team on opening night?
