Game 2.


https://stake.games/sports/basketball/usa/wnba

Will the Dream finish this and advance to the 2nd round, or will the Fever hang on for an exciting Game 3?

Allisha Gray and Rhyne Howard are both phenomenal in Game 1. If they continue that kind of performance, the Fever will be in big trouble. The Dream won by 12 points, so I am really doubtful about taking the risk for the Fever, and the odds are not that inviting.

The same goes with the Aces, but I bet they will finish it.

Wow, the Valkyries completely choke it in the fourth quarter wherein they needed it. They led for three quarters, but when it needs the most, their defense became sloppy and Minnesota take control. As the No. 1 seed, the Lynx will now carry momentum and extra rest into the next round, exactly what they need to lock in the win. I really thought the 1st rounds of every game will tied up to 1-1 series but I was wrong lol.

The Minnesota Lynx advances to the 2nd round early. They can get a lot of rest and be fresh for their next battle, whichever team it will be.

Here are the games later.

Was the win of the Fever really just a fluke, or can they really win this? They won by 17 points in Game 2, and yet they are still the heavy underdog in their match later.

Aces versus Storm, on the other hand, was a very close game in Game 2.

I don't want to guess anymore. I will just place my bets later. Good luck to everyone.

Just saw highlights clips and it was a complete tough win for the Fever, if those gamblers who loves taking big risk place bet for them before the game that's a sweet win for sure, Fever manage to win not in an easy way but a tough last minute winning shot and a good defensive stop to advance to the next round, congrats to those who manage supporting them and believe in them to win and stand still to chase for the title.

Yes, it was!

CC said it. The team has improved, and they are not just playing well because of her. They literally became a team when CC came because they don't want fans to tell that they are only good with CC around. This is an amazing Fever roster.

Aces also had a tough win against the Storm, and I am liking how close the games are. Now, those teams will meet.

Round 2.

Las Vegas Aces - Indiana Fever - Indiana Fever ML @4.40

I don't care how underdog they are. I am putting my money into them. It's the heart and energy.

Nice catch as Fever continue to impress fans and extend the rally winning games, I didn't watch the game but the news is spreading all around social media, Mitchell's 34 points carried most of the loads, but surely the with that huge deficit againts Aces  shows how solid the team even without CC.

Congrats that's a decent odd for your bet!

Thanks, bro.



Yeah, they already surprised me winning that first round even without CC. It's true that they are growing as a team, and it proves they are not a woman team. Now they need 2 more wins to enter the Finals.
Having that first win in the series will put more confidence in their team, and they should use that confidence for good. They have to be careful with the Aces, and I do hope Kelsey Mitchell, who scored 34 points, could continue that offensive barrage in Game 2.

Just followed today's game between Phoenix and Minnesota and tbh, Minnesota must be with most idiotic no1 seed i have ever seen!
Small summary, won first game at home, as expected. Leading by 20 middle of the 3rd quarter in game 2 and proceed to lose. Leading by 4 going into the 4th quarter in game 3 and lose. And today, in a do or die game, they proceeded to go full blown stupidity losing after leading by 13 starting the 4th quarter. I mean how is this real life? How can a team blow 3 games in a row like this. This series really mirrors what's wrong with woman's basketball, especially the WNBA.

Yeah, it was shocking. The number 1 seed with 34 wins and just 10 losses fell in the 2nd round. It's devastating to see, and others felt disbelief at how it happened.

Anyway, Game 5 later of the Las Vegas Aces versus the Indiana Fever. This series is different. It's more fun. Even without Caitlin Clark, the Fever is still clinging and they badly want to win each game.

That Over 158 is appealing. That's their average total score in the series. I am just doubting a bit because they might play defense.

Good luck with your bets.

Just saw highlights of this game and it was an almost upset from the Fever they able to force the game into overtime but Vegas managed to survived and finished the series and advance to the finals. Wilson towers the offense alongside with Young showing their hunger to move forward and continue the chase for the title, while with Fever fans surely loves every effort from each players even without CC they managed to force and almost have that chance to advance, not for them yet.

Congrats if you made that appealing pick that you are eyeing before the game, as it was fully covered as the game went to OT,.

What a game 1 for the very first best of 7 WNBA Finals, as the Las Vegas Aces won the match 89-86 over the Phoenix Mercury, If you watched the Game 5 between Indiana Fever and the Aces, you'd agree that this Game 1, felt more like the continuation of that game, even though Aces are matched up against a different opponent, it was a game that went down the wire.

The Aces trailed for most part of the game, but A'ja Wilson as usual with her impressive numbers, and more importantly Dana Evans with 21 points and 5/6 3PT off the bench, was probably the difference maker for the Aces to stay in the game for as long as possible before turning things around in final minutes of the game.

Phoenix should really have brought this home leading the majority of this game. Maybe they can only win when they are down big or going into the final quarter with a deficit.  Against Minnesota this worked pretty well for them but Vegas showed them what happens when you fail to close out a game. In game 2 I expect Vegas to come out stronger and control the game this time, they won't let Phoenix take the initiative again, pretty sure of that.

Phoenix Mercury really should have won the match, or at least they did have a great chance to even after the Las Vegas Aces to the lead and it was a one point game, and Alyssa Thomas was fouled by Jackie Young, with under a minute to go If I recall correctly, and free throws were awarded, but Alyssa Thomas missed both free throws, that could giving them the lead, and put them in control once more, the Aces then converted their own subsequent free throws and there was just no way back for the Phoenix Mercury.

Game 2 of the WNBA Finals, guys.

The Aces are strong without a doubt. But I am putting my money on the Phoenix Mercury in Game 2. They need to steal this win on the road, and I know they can. I didn't place a bet on Game 1 because I was doubting, but after I saw their performance, even if they lost, they could really win the match.

They just need to get that lead again and close in a strong way. Win it and get the confidence going home.

Good luck, everyone!

Last night A’ja Wilson became the first professional athlete to make a game winner over a married couple.
