Sun vs Aces Game 1 Betting Pick
This game will be played at Michelob Ultra Arena at 3:00 PM ET on Sunday, September 11, 2022.
The WNBA Finals will begin on Sunday afternoon, with the Las Vegas Aces hosting the Connecticut Sun. After an incredible comeback to end the season of the Chicago Sky, the Sun will look to keep rolling against the top-seeded Aces. In our WNBA picks for Sunday, we break down Sun vs Aces Game 1, as both teams aim to take the advantage in the first game of the final series of the 2022 WNBA campaign.
Why Bet The Sun:
✅ The Sun will come into this game in Las Vegas full of confidence after winning Games 4 and 5 over the Chicago Sky in the semifinal round. They came back from a 2-1 series deficit, and went on an 18-0 run in the final minutes of Game 5 to turn a nine-point deficit into a nine-point victory. Their defense was on full display in that game, and it will continue to help them by keeping this game close against the Aces.
✅ Public perception has the Aces as the better team in this series, but the season series between these teams was highly competitive. Connecticut won one of the three games they played against Las Vegas, and kept their two losses to the Aces within eight points. This series and this series opener will both be closer than a lot of people think, especially if Chelsea Gray regresses from the field relative to her performance in the semifinals.

✅ The rebounding of the Sun will help them to hang around in this contest against the league’s top seeded team. Connecticut outrebounded the Aces in two of their three meetings this season, and their advantage on the boards should only grow now that Dearica Hamby is not a big part of the rotation for Las Vegas since her injury.
Connecticut Sun
The Connecticut Sun looked dead in the water heading into the final moments of Game 5 of the semifinals against the Chicago Sky. But they turned a nine-point deficit into a nine-point victory in the final minutes thanks to an historic 18-0 run. They held the Sky to just five points in the final quarter of action, stealing the series to set up a best of five series against the Las Vegas Aces.
Rebounding is going to be the key to this game and this series for the Sun. Brionna Jones, Jonquel Jones, and Alyssa Thomas have the physicality to make things really difficult on a guard-heavy Aces roster. If they can slow the pace of this game down and maintain their edge on the glass, the Sun could make a statement in Sun vs Aces Game 1.
Las Vegas Aces
The Las Vegas Aces were the favorites to win the WNBA Finals for almost the entire 2022 WNBA season. So far, they have lived up to that billing by going 5-1 in the playoffs and giving themselves home court advantage in the WNBA Finals. Here, they will look for more contributions from their stars to blow past the Sun and get a win to start this series.
Chelsea Gray is having an historic postseason and she will be the key to the success for the Aces in this series as well. She is shooting 62.6% from the field in six playoff games so far, including a 59.5% mark from three-point range. She has made things so much easier on A’ja Wilson and Kelsey Plum, especially with the Aces only playing six or seven players in each game.
