Another Home Win for the Aces? Las Vegas Aces vs Seattle Storm Prediction | June 9, 2026
Las Vegas Aces
Seattle Storm
One of the WNBA games on June 9 takes place at Michelob Ultra Arena, where Las Vegas Aces host Seattle Storm. The teams enter this matchup heading in opposite directions, with the Aces riding a three-game winning streak while Seattle continues to struggle after five consecutive defeats.
Match Preview
Las Vegas Aces come into this game in excellent form. After suffering back-to-back losses earlier in the season, they responded with three straight victories, including two wins over Golden State Valkyries and a recent 84-79 success against Los Angeles Sparks. A'ja Wilson once again led the way in that matchup, recording a dominant double-double with 28 points and 14 rebounds.
The Aces currently sit third in the Western Conference with a 7-3 record and remain one of the most dangerous offensive teams in the WNBA. They average 89.1 points per game, the fourth-best mark in the league, while also ranking among the top rebounding teams with 37.2 rebounds per contest. Their interior attack has been particularly effective, generating 43.2 points in the paint per game, the second-best figure in the WNBA. Chelsea Gray continues to orchestrate the offense, while Wilson remains the team's leader in both scoring and rebounding.
Las Vegas will also be motivated to improve its home record. Despite their strong overall form, the victory over Los Angeles was only their first home win in three games this season. However, history suggests this is a favorable matchup, as the Aces have won six of their last seven home meetings against Seattle and enter this contest on a three-game home winning streak against the Storm.
Seattle Storm arrive in a completely different situation. The team has lost five consecutive games and continues to struggle offensively. Their latest defeat came against Minnesota Lynx, who comfortably won 88-68. Natisha Hiedeman led Seattle with 14 points, four rebounds, and five assists, but once again the Storm lacked consistent scoring options throughout the game.
Seattle currently sits at the bottom of the Western Conference with a 4-9 record. Their road performances have been especially disappointing, with only one victory in six away games this season. The biggest issue remains the offense. The Storm average just 75.0 points per game, the lowest total in the WNBA. While their defense has performed relatively well, allowing 81.8 points per contest, the lack of offensive production has prevented them from turning competitive performances into victories.
The recent head-to-head record also favors Las Vegas. Seattle has managed just one win in the last four meetings between these teams, while most trips to Las Vegas have ended unsuccessfully for the Storm.

Prediction
This matchup features two teams moving in opposite directions. Las Vegas have regained momentum after a brief slump and continue to look like one of the strongest teams in the Western Conference. Their offensive efficiency, rebounding advantage, and dominance in the paint create a difficult matchup for a Seattle team that has struggled to generate consistent scoring throughout the season. The Storm's defense has kept several games competitive, but their league-worst offense remains a major concern. Facing an Aces team led by A'ja Wilson and supported by one of the league's most productive attacks is a difficult assignment, especially away from home where Seattle has won only once all season. Las Vegas also owns a significant historical edge in this matchup at Michelob Ultra Arena. Given the current form of both teams, the offensive gap between the sides, and the home-court advantage, the Aces are well positioned to secure another convincing victory. Recommended Bet: Las Vegas Aces Asian Handicap -13
