Seattle Storm (W) vs Aces Prediction 18 September 2026
🔊 In this WNBA regular season clash, the Seattle Storm take on the Las Vegas Aces. These teams sit at opposite ends of the standings, but they share one thing in common - a lengthy layoff. That break could have a negative impact on their offensive rhythm.
Head-to-Head
📊 The last meeting between these rivals took place at the start of the summer. Las Vegas played at home and came away with a 101-91 victory. Looking back at their previous five head-to-head clashes, one trend stands out: only the team playing on their home court has managed to secure the win.
Head-to-head statistics Seattle Storm (W) - Aces
Seattle Storm (W) Team Overview
The hosts are going through a rough patch, having managed just 8 wins in 40 games - a win rate of only 20%. That trend has continued over their last five outings, where they've suffered four defeats. More often than not, Seattle have struggled badly on offense; averaging just over 82 points per game, which is well below the league standard. Defensively, they concede nearly 88 points per contest. It’s hard to expect a sudden turnaround from this team, especially given the caliber of their opponent. However, with the home-court advantage, it’s reasonable to expect at least a tighter defensive effort.

Las Vegas Aces (W) Team Overview
The Las Vegas Aces are riding a three-game winning streak. Granted, their recent opponents haven’t been the toughest - twice facing Toronto and once Connecticut - but consistently securing wins against teams they’re expected to beat is a mark of a top-tier side. This season’s Aces roster is solid, averaging 90 points scored and conceding 86 per game. However, it’s worth noting that the team has been out of competitive action for over two weeks. That layoff could impact their offensive rhythm, and we might see some early shooting struggles as they look to find their groove.
