The Atlanta Dream (15-15) wrap up a 3-game road trip against the Las Vegas Aces (26-3) Sunday at Michelob Ultra Arena. Tip-off is scheduled for 9 p.m. ET (CBSSN). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Dream vs. Aces odds, and make our expert WNBA picks and predictions.
The Dream’s road trip has been a nightmare, losing 85-74 at the Los Angeles Sparks Saturday as a 1-point favorite and dropping a 68-67 loss at the Seattle Storm on Thursday as a 5-point favorite. The Under has cashed in 6 straight games, and 13 of the last 14 contests, for Atlanta.
The Aces were spanked 99-61 in New York last Sunday, just the 3rd outright loss of the season. Las Vegas has responded with 108.5 PPG in the past 2 games, both wins by at least 20 points. The Over has cashed in each of those outings and is 8-3 across the past 11 contests.

Dream at Aces picks and predictions
Prediction
Aces 101, Dream 79
Moneyline
The Aces (-5000) will cost you 50 times your potential return. Nobody needs $2 badly enough to risk $100 on a moneyline bet in WNBA.
AVOID.
Against the spread
The ACES -16.5 (-110) got a wake-up call in New York last Sunday. Las Vegas has roughed up the Dallas Wings on the road and the Washington Mystics at home, winning by 20 or more points. Look for the Aces to continue keeping the pedal to the metal as they rough up the Dream.
These teams just met at Mandalay Bay on Aug. 1 with the Aces pounding the Dream 93-72 as a 13.5-point favorite as the Under (180) cashed. Vegas dropped Atlanta 92-87 on the road, too, with the Dream cashing as an 11.5-point underdog as the Over (174) hit.
Over/Under
OVER 175.5 (-110) is a great play despite Atlanta’s recent spate of Under results.
The Aces own the best offense in the WNBA, notching 94.2 PPG, while also leading the league in field-goal percentage (49.9%), 3-point percentage (39.1%) and free-throw percentage (83.2%).
It’s hard betting an Over in a Dream game, but the Over is 8-3 in the past 11 games overall for the Aces and they just pile up points against anyone. The Over is 2-0 in the first 2 matchups between these teams this season, too.
