The Aces hit the century mark for the 2nd consecutive outing, posting a 104-91 win over the Dallas Wings Sunday as 11-point favorites. The Over is 6-1 across the past 7 games overall, while the Aces are a healthy 5-2 ATS during the span.

Dream at Aces picks and predictions
Prediction
Aces 97, Dream 81
Moneyline
The Aces (-1600) will cost 16 times the potential return, and that’s a ridiculous bet. You would need to risk $160 just to win $10. Nobody needs a sawbuck that badly.
AVOID.
Against the spread
The ACES -14.5 (-110) have had it on cruise control. They have been scary good despite losing Candace Parker to a surgery. This offense has been hotter than the desert sun, rolling up 97 or more points in 3 straight, and 6 of the past 7 games.
As a double-digit favorite, Las Vegas is 5-2 ATS in the past 7 games, while going 12-9 ATS overall on the season.
The Dream +14.5 (-110) covered against the Aces in the 1st meeting, and Atlanta is 3-1 ATS in 4 games as a double-digit ‘dog. However, again, Atlanta is just 1-4 ATS in the past 5 games overall, struggling mightily against the number. That’s not good when pulling into Vegas.
Over/Under
OVER 176.5 (-110) is the lean, but go super light.
This is such a big number, but Vegas has posted triple digits in each of the past 2 games. We had a total of 174 on the board for the 1st meeting in Atlanta back in early June, and the teams combined for 179 total points. Look for a similar result here.
