The Chicago Sky (9-14) and Las Vegas Aces (16-7) meet Tuesday at Michelob ULTRA Arena. Tip-off is scheduled for 10 p.m. ET (Prime Video). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Sky vs. Aces odds, and make our expert WNBA picks and predictions.
Season series: Aces lead 1-0
The Sky fell 81-67 Saturday at home against the New York Liberty — Chicago was a 3.5-point underdog and the Under (164) hit. F Angel Reese’s double-double streak ended at 15 games as she finished with 8 points and 16 rebounds. The rookie out of LSU was essentially quadruple-teamed late in the game to keep her from getting the lone bucket needed to continue it. The Sky have lost 3 of 4.
After a bit of a lull, the Aces have won 10 of 11, most recently prevailing 89-77 at the Washington Mystics Sunday. They came up short of covering as 12.5-point favorites and the Under (172.5) cashed. F A’ja Wilson dominated with 28 points and 17 boards Sunday. She is averaging 29.6 PPG and 15.4 RPG over the last 5 games, which is just an insane stretch. However, Las Vegas is just 6-4 ATS in its last 10 games.

Sky at Aces picks and predictions
Prediction
Aces 89, Sky 72
Moneyline
The Sky have dropped from +700 to +625 underdogs by Tuesday afternoon, but the spread has remained the same. Meanwhile, the Aces went from -1100 to -1000. There is no play here because the Sky are rightfully considerable dogs in this one.
Instead, I’m taking ANGEL REESE OVER 13.5 POINTS (+105). Now, she hasn’t hit this number in 3 consecutive games, but she had 18 points against the Aces June 27. She steps up to these challenges.
Against the spread
The fact that the spread has not changed despite the MLs moving a bit tells me this one is right on point. The Aces beat the Sky by 12 in Chicago. Vegas has won by 19+ in their last 3 home games.
LEAN ACES -13.5 (-105).

Over/Under
The Sky are going to need 80 points to cash this Over because Vegas hasn’t touched 90 in 3 straight. The Aces are 4-6 O/U in their last 10, and Chicago is 5-5.
I’m taking the UNDER 173.5 (-110).
