Aces vs. Mercury Game 1 Same Game Parlay
- Jackie Young Over 16.5 Points
- Satou Sabally 2+ Three Pointers Made
- LV Aces -3
Jackie Young Over 16.5 Points
Did someone say 20.5 points per game? Jackie Young has been on a tear this postseason, delivering five performances of 16.5+ points, capped by a monster 32-point, 10-rebound double-double in the series-clinching OT win over Indiana on Tuesday. Alongside A’ja Wilson, Young has been more than just a reliable scoring option — she’s evolved into a multipurpose guard who thrives under pressure. She even delivered the game-winning put-back to seal Las Vegas’ Round 1 victory over the Storm. At 28, Young has officially arrived as a star. Together with Wilson, the reigning MVP, she’s accounted for 53% of the Aces’ playoff scoring — meaning Young will need to keep her foot on the gas if Vegas is going to start off hot in the Finals.
Satou Sabally 2+ Three Pointers Made
One-third of the Mercury’s Big 3 struggled from deep in Game 1 of the semis, shooting 0-for-5, but that was the last time Satou Sabally went cold. Since then, she’s been balling, hitting 2+ threes in three straight games, including a jaw-dropping five triples in Game 2 and another three in the series clincher. At 6’4”, the Oregon alum’s ability to stretch the floor has made her one of the most versatile forwards in the league, and her 34% clip from deep this postseason makes her a threatening matchup heading into the Finals. That’s especially relevant against Las Vegas. The Aces have shown cracks in their perimeter defense, allowing opponents to shoot 36.7% from three during the playoffs. If that trend continues, Sabally is primed to take advantage in Game 1, and I’m backing her to shine from beyond the arc.
LV Aces -3
The Mercury have been the comeback queens of the postseason, but those rallies come from slow starts — a double-digit loss in Game 1 of the semis (13% from three) and an 0-for-6 opening in Game 4 before finding rhythm. That won’t fly against an Aces squad that thrives on early momentum. With A’ja Wilson averaging 25 PPG vs. Phoenix and Jackie Young emerging as a consistent scorer, Las Vegas has the edge out of the gate. Given Phoenix’s tendency to dig early holes, I’m backing the Aces -3 in Game 1.
