The Las Vegas Aces (21-2) travel to meet the Chicago Sky (9-13) on Tuesday night at Wintrust Arena in Chicago. Tip-off is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET (ESPN). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Aces vs. Sky odds, and make our expert WNBA picks and predictions.
The Aces have rattled off 5 consecutive victories while going 4-1 against the spread (ATS) since an 80-78 loss on the road against the Dallas Wings on July 7. The Over has cashed in 4 of the past 5 games, too.
Las Vegas F Candace Parker had successful surgery Monday to repair a fractured left foot and has no timetable to return. She had been playing with the fracture all season but missed the past 5 outings. She was averaging 9.0 points, 5.4 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 1.5 steals per game this season.
The Sky picked up a 90-75 win on the road against the Seattle Storm Saturday, snapping a 4-game losing streak and non-cover streak.
Las Vegas has won 3 straight games head-to-head and has covered 4 of the past 6 meetings. The Over is 3-1 in the past 4 meetings in this series, too.

Aces at Sky picks and predictions
Prediction
Aces 94, Sky 82
Moneyline
The Aces (-2000) will cost you 20 times your potential. That means you must risk a C-note for a fiver. That’s a terrible bet, with way too much risk and not enough reward.
AVOID.
Against the spread
The SKY +14.5 (-110) are worth a partial-unit play. The Aces topped the Sky on June 11 at Michelob Ultra Arena at Mandalay Bay, winning 93-80. However, Chicago held on for the backdoor cover at most shops. This should be a rather decisive win for Vegas too, but look for Chicago to hang on for the cover at home.
Over/Under
OVER 168.5 (-110) is worth a look, even though Chicago has cashed the Under in 4 of the past 5 games overall. Las Vegas has racked up 97 or more points in 4 of the past 5 games, hitting the Over in each of those contests. The Aces are the most prolific offensive team in the WNBA, and they’ll roll up big points on the Sky.
