In the landscape of the WNBA, Aces, under the tutelage of Becky Hammon, stand as a dominant force. A squad adorned with the status of back-to-back title winners, the Aces appear poised to extend their supremacy into the new season.

On the other hand, the Phoenix Mercury faces an uphill battle. After a disappointing 9-31 record last year, they'll likely be challenged to find their footing in the upcoming season. The Phoenix side’s visit to Vegas will be Nate Tibbetts' first competitive game in charge of the Mercury.

The Las Vegas Aces enter the new WNBA season on a high note, crushing the Puerto Rican national team 102-50 in their lone preseason outing. Meanwhile, the Phoenix Mercury couldn't find their rhythm in the preseason, losing both games to the Seattle Storm (85-59) and the LA Sparks (85-98).

Las Vegas Aces vs Phoenix Mercury head-to-head record

The last meeting between these two sides took place back Sept. 11, when the Aces ran out 100-85 victors at the T-Mobile Arena thanks to A'ja Wilson’s impressive all-around performance with 36 points, eight rebounds, two assists, and five steals.

Recent history is firmly against the Phoenix, though, with Vegas winning the last nine meetings between the two teams, dating back to October 9th, 2021. Despite recent struggles, Phoenix actually holds the upper hand in the all-time head-to-head record, winning 46 out of 83 games against the Aces.
