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\u2019ja Wilson, Young has been more than just a reliable scoring option \u2014 she\u2019s evolved into a multipurpose guard who thrives under pressure. She even delivered the game-winning put-back to seal Las Vegas\u2019 Round 1 victory over the Storm. At 28, Young has officially arrived as a star. Together with Wilson, the reigning MVP, she\u2019s accounted for 53% of the Aces\u2019 playoff scoring \u2014 meaning Young will need to keep her foot on the gas if Vegas is going to start off hot in the Finals.<\/p>\n Satou Sabally 2+ Three Pointers Made<\/p>\n One-third of the Mercury\u2019s 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\u2019s 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\u20194\u201d, the Oregon alum\u2019s 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\u2019s 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\u2019m backing her to shine from beyond the arc.<\/p>\n LV Aces -3<\/p>\n The Mercury have been the comeback queens of the postseason, but those rallies come from slow starts \u2014 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\u2019t fly against an Aces squad that thrives on early momentum. With A\u2019ja 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\u2019s tendency to dig early holes, I\u2019m backing the Aces -3 in Game 1.<\/p>\n\n
