The Las Vegas Aces (28-4) travel to meet the Atlanta Dream (16-16) Tuesday. Tip-off from Gateway Center Arena at College Park is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET (CBSSN). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Aces vs. Dream odds, and make our expert WNBA picks and predictions.
The Aces were stunned at home last time out as 16.5-point favorites on Saturday, falling 78-72 against the Los Angeles Sparks. The Under (170.5) cashed in for the 3rd consecutive game and has gone low in 5 of the last 7 games.
These teams just met at Mandalay Bay on Aug. 13, with the Aces coming away with an 86-65 win as 16.5-point favorites while the Under (176.5) comfortably cashed.
Atlanta halted a 3-game losing streak with a 78-67 victory over the Chicago Sky Friday as a 2-point favorite as the Under (162) hit. The Under has been on a tear for the Dream, cashing in 8 in a row and 15 of the past 16 games.

Aces at Dream picks and predictions
Prediction
Aces 89, Dream 79
Moneyline
Backing Las Vegas (-1400) will cost you 14 times your potential return, and that’s insane. You can’t play such a strong favorite, especially on the road, and especially since last time out should serve as a cautionary tale. The Aces were favored anywhere from -2000 to -3500 depending on the shop and Las Vegas laid a fat egg at home against L.A.
PASS.
Against the spread
ATLANTA +15.5 (-110) is the play at home as a double-digit underdog.
While Las Vegas is 4-1 ATS across the past 5 games when favored by double-digits — including the win over Atlanta at home — the Aces are 3-6 ATS in the past 9 on the road when favored by 9.5 or more points, including a 5-point win as an 11.5-point favorite at Atlanta back on June 2.

Over/Under
The UNDER 168.5 (-110) is the lean, but go very lightly.
The Aces have cashed the Under in the past 3 regular season games, and 4 straight games if you count the Commissioner’s Cup game last Tuesday. That includes an Under result against Atlanta in the most recent meeting, too.
The Under has been on a tear for the Dream, cashing in 8 games in a row and 15 of the past 16 overall. Still, the Aces are the No. 1 scoring offense in the WNBA with 93.1 points per game, so it’s always risky going low in Vegas games.
