Aces vs Mercury Prediction 11 July 2026
π The WNBA regular season features a matchup between the Las Vegas Aces and the Phoenix Mercury. The hosts remain atop both the Western Conference and the overall league standings, delivering consistently strong performances throughout the campaign.

For the Aces, this game offers a chance to further cement their status among the leagueβs elite, while the Mercury are hoping to snap a lengthy losing streak against top-tier opposition.

Head-to-head statistics Aces - Mercury
San Antonio Stars Team Overview
Las Vegas have taken four wins from their last five outings, dropping just one game while most recently edging out Portland 88-80. Over their last ten fixtures, the Aces have recorded six victories against four defeats - a run that can be described as solid, if not spectacular. They are averaging 89.6 points per game on the season, underlining their offensive firepower, although that figure has dipped slightly to 86.5 points across their last ten contests.
Defensively, the Aces are conceding an average of 86.6 points per game this year, with a near-identical mark of 86.2 allowed over their recent ten-game stretch - a sign that their defense occasionally struggles to contain high-tempo opponents. While Las Vegas continue to play at a brisk pace, there are indications that the team is striving for a more balanced approach between offense and defense.
Match Results: San Antonio Stars
Phoenix Mercury Team Overview
Phoenix head into this matchup riding a three-game winning streak, although they dropped their last two outings, making it four wins and six losses in their previous ten contests, a stretch that highlights the franchiseβs inconsistency over the long haul. During this span, the Mercury have averaged 86.3 points per game while allowing opponents 86.6 points on average, reflecting a balanced yet unspectacular defensive effort.
These figures closely mirror their season-long stats: the team puts up 84.7 points and concedes 85.4 per game. Their road performances suggest a cautious approach that keeps them competitive even against stronger opposition. However, their last such road clash against the Indiana Fever ended in a narrow and disappointing defeat (89-92).

β Editor's Pick
Both teams play at a similar pace and their scoring averages hover just below the league standard. Neither side stands out for rock-solid defense or explosive offensive firepower, and thatβs reflected in the visitorsβ frequent low-scoring results on the road - nine of their last ten away games have seen totals under 169.5 points. Current form suggests thereβs no clear trend toward shootouts, as defense often prevails over offense for both clubs, even when the tempo picks up. With that in mind, a bet on under 173.5 total points looks like a logical call.
