The Aces lead the best-of-5 series 2-0 after posting a 91-84 victory Tuesday, although the Wings cashed as 10.5-point underdogs. The Over (174.5) cashed at some shops, although the line opened at 175.5, so total results varied depending upon when the bet was made.

Aces at Wings Game 3 picks and predictions
Prediction
Aces 90, Wings 86
Moneyline
The Aces (-265) will cost you more than 2 1/2 times your potential return, and that’s just too much risk for not enough reward in this elimination game.
AVOID.
Against the spread
The WINGS +6.5 (-120) are worth a look with their season on the line, as they’ll give the Aces their best shot. However, Las Vegas is a team on a mission to get back to the WNBA Finals to win a 2nd straight championship.
The Wings are 5-2-1 ATS in the past 8 games as single-digit underdogs, including a straight-up win over the Aces on July 7.
Dallas will get the cover, but Las Vegas will get the win, punching its ticket to a 2nd straight Finals.

Over/Under
The OVER 174.5 (-113) is a lean, but be cautious and play a half-unit at best.
The Over is 3-0-1 in 4 postseason games for the Wings so far, while going 7-1-1 in the past 9 games and 20-4-1 in the past 25 games overall.
The Over is also 3-0-1 in the past 4 meetings between these 2 teams.
