Liberty at Aces picks and predictions

Prediction

Aces 89, Liberty 81

Moneyline

Before the Game 3 win, the Aces had lost 5 straight to the Liberty. With that in mind, there’s no chance I’m taking them at -155 to send the series back to the Big Apple. Instead, I’m keying on KELSEY PLUM OVER 17.5 POINTS (+100) at even-money. She has scored 20+ in 2 of the 3 games in the series and 3 of the last 4 overall.

Against the spread

I look for Vegas to stay alive one more time. Wilson is hard to contain in the middle, and her guards are hitting shots. The Aces are tough at home, and I’m good laying the points.

Take the ACES -2.5 (-115).

Over/Under

All 3 games in this series have gone Over. That track-meet kind of a game benefits the Aces, who are 4-1-1 O/U in their last 6. The Liberty have cashed 4 straight Overs.

Take the OVER 166.5 (-110).

New York Liberty at Las Vegas Aces Game 3 odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Friday’s New York Liberty at Las Vegas Aces odds and lines, with WNBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The New York Liberty and Las Vegas Aces meet Friday for Game 3 of the best-of-5 WNBA semifinals at Michelob Ultra Arena. Tip-off is scheduled for 9:30 p.m. ET (ESPN2). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s WNBA odds around the Liberty vs. Aces odds, and make our expert WNBA picks and predictions.

Playoff series: Liberty lead 2-0; Liberty swept regular-season series 3-0

The Liberty picked up an 88-84 win in Game 2, pushing the 2-time defending champion Aces to the brink of elimination. New York shot 49.3% (33 of 67) from the field, 31.0% (9 of 29) from downtown and 81.3% (13 of 16) from the free-throw line, while posting a plus-6 rebounding margin.

The Aces were just 43.5% (30 of 69) from the field, but 44.4% (12 of 27) from behind the arc, which is what kept Vegas in the game. It did leave 7 points on the free-throw line, going just 63.2% (12 of 19).

The Liberty won despite F Breanna Stewart having an off night. Sure, she finished with 15 points, but it was a grind with a 5-of-15 shooting night, with no 3-pointers and 3 turnovers. G Sabrina Ionescu picked up the slack, though, going for 24 points, 9 rebounds, 5 assists, a steal, a blocked shot and 3 triples.

As you’d expect, C A’ja Wilson led Las Vegas with 24 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists and a steal while hitting 11 of 18 from the field. G Kelsey Plum had a rough game, though, posting just 6 points on 2-of-9 shooting after going for a team-best 24 points in Game 1.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4132″ ]

Liberty at Aces picks and predictions

Prediction

Aces 89, Liberty 84

Moneyline

The ACES (-150) are worth playing straight up if you don’t want to fiddle around with the points in Game 3.

The 2-time defending champions have their backs against the wall, and they’re likely to show the heart of a lion, not going out quietly against the Liberty (+125).

The Aces haven’t won on their home court against the Liberty since Oct. 11, 2023, but they’re a good bet to get it done here.

Against the spread

LAS VEGAS -2.5 (-115) is a solid play at home in Game 3, as it will take a lot to oust the 2-time defending champions from the postseason.

New York +2.5 (-105) has won all 5 meetings this season, while going 3-1-1 ATS. However, A’ja and the Aces won’t be shown the door after Friday’s game. They’ll be very obstinate, as Las Vegas tries to hang around and make this a series.

Play our free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Over/Under

OVER 166.5 (-105) is the play in Game 3 after the total went high in the 1st 2 games of this series back east.

Still, the Over is a risk, as the Under is 11-7 across the past 18 games for New York dating back to Aug. 17.

The Under has dominated for the Lib, too, going 16-7-1 across the previous 24 contests since July 10. But, again, 2 of those Over results are in the 1st 2 games of this series.

Las Vegas Aces at New York Liberty Game 2 odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Tuesday’s Las Vegas Aces at New York Liberty odds and lines, with WNBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The Las Vegas Aces and the New York Liberty meet Tuesday for Game 2 of the best-of-5 WNBA semifinals at Barclays Center in Brooklyn. Tip-off is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET (ESPN2). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s WNBA odds around the Aces vs. Liberty odds, and make our expert WNBA picks and predictions.

Playoff series: Liberty lead 1-0; Liberty swept regular-season series 3-0

The Liberty took Game 1 of this best-of-5 series 87-77 Sunday, covering as 4-point favorites with the Over (162.5) cashing. They shot 50.0% (30-for-60) from the field, 42.1% (8-for-19) from behind the 3-point line and 82.6% (19-for-23) from the free-throw line.

F Breanna Stewart led the way with a game-high 34 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals and a blocked shot, while hitting 12-of-19 from the field. G Sabrina Ionescu added 21 points with three 3’s, 5 assists, 4 boards, 2 steals and a blocked shot. F Jonquel Jones had a double-double, posting 13 points with a game-high 12 boards.

The Aces hit 43.3% (29-for-67) from the field, 28.0% (7-for-25) from behind the arc and 80.0% (12-for-15) from the charity stripe.

C A’ja Wilson was her usual consistent MVP self, hitting 9-for-16 from the field, finishing with 21 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 blocked shots. G Kelsey Plum had a team-best 24 points with four 3-pointers, while G Jackie Young was good for 17 points.

Over/Under (O/U): 164.5 (O: -110 | U: -110)

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4132″ ]

Aces at Liberty picks and predictions

Prediction

Liberty 84, Aces 77

Moneyline

If you like to play it safe, back the Liberty (-210) as the moderate favorites in Game 2. New York won all 3 meetings in the regular season, and it handled the 2-time defending champ Aces by double digits in Game 1.

The Liberty are stacked, and unless the Aces have an answer for B-Stew, it might be another long night for A’ja and Co.

Against the spread

If you’re a more conventional bettor, NEW YORK -4.5 (-110) is a strong play to get the job done by at least 5 points.

New York is 3-1 ATS in the past 4 meetings with Las Vegas, while 2-1 ATS so far in this postseason. Look for the Liberty to improve to 4-0 straight up in the playoffs, forcing the Aces into an 2-0 hole heading back to Sin City for Game 3.

Over/Under

UNDER 164.5 (-110) is the lean for Game 2, but go with a half-unit play at most.

The Over cashed in Game 1 of this series, but the Under has hit in 3 of the 4 New York-Las Vegas meetings this season.

Despite Sunday’s Over result, the Under is still 11-6 in the past 17 games for the Liberty since Aug. 17.

For the Aces, the Under is 16-6-1 in the past 23 games dating back to July 10.

Las Vegas Aces at New York Liberty Game 1 odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Las Vegas Aces at New York Liberty Game 1 odds and lines, with WNBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The Las Vegas Aces and the New York Liberty meet Sunday for Game 1 of the best-of-5 WNBA semifinals at Barclays Center in Brooklyn. Tip-off is scheduled 3 p.m. ET (ABC). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s WNBA odds around the Aces vs. Liberty odds, and make our expert WNBA picks and predictions.

Regular-season series: Liberty won 3-0

Last season, the Aces and Liberty met in the WNBA Finals. Now, they must go through each other for the chance to play for another title. Las Vegas won its 2nd consecutive WNBA championship by ousting New York in 4 games last season.

The defending champs swept the Seattle Storm in the 1st round, splitting against the spread (ATS), while the Under was 1-0-1. Las Vegas averaged 80.5 points per game (PPG), while allowing 71.5 PPG.

The Aces have won 7 in a row since Sept. 11 in the regular season, and 6 of those victories came against playoff teams. The non-cover for the Aces in Game 2 against Seattle was rare, too, as Las Vegas is 10-1-1 ATS in the past 12 outings.

The Liberty swept the regular-season series with the Aces, including a 79-67 win Aug. 17 at Mandalay Bay to cover as 3.5-point underdogs, and a 90-82 victory as a 2.5-point underdog on June 15. In the only home game for New York, it eased by Las Vegas 75-71, but the Aces covered as a 9.5-point underdog. The Under cashed in all 3 meetings.

The Liberty swept the Atlanta Dream in the 1st round, but went 1-1 ATS and 1-1 Over-Under in those games. While the regular-season finale was meaningless with the No. 1 seed locked in, New York is still just 3-2 SU and 2-3 ATS in the past 5 games since Sept. 15. The Under is 11-5 in the past 16 outings.

Over/Under (O/U): 163.5 (O: -110 | U: -110)

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4132″ ]

Aces at Liberty picks and predictions

Prediction

Liberty 82, Aces 79

Moneyline

The Liberty (-175) are just a little expensive on the moneyline in this series opener. While New York dominated the season series against the Aces (+145), Las Vegas is playing its best basketball of the season lately.

New York, on the other hand, took its foot off the gas a little bit down the stretch. It’s difficult to flip that switch back on, although I fully expect the Liberty to get it done at home. I think this game could very well come down to the final possession and free throws.

AVOID.

Against the spread

The ACES +4.5 (-120) know how to get it done at this time of the season.

How many times have you seen a team dominate the regular season, only to suffer a loss in the playoffs. It’s a difficult animal in the postseason, and no one know how to prepare for a championship run better than A’ja Wilson and the Aces.

Over/Under

UNDER 163.5 (-110) is the lean in this game.

First off, the Under cashed in all 3 meetings in the regular season. In addition, the Under is 11-5 in the past 16 games for the Liberty since Aug. 17, a run which started with a trip to Las Vegas.

For the Aces, the Under is 1-0-1 in the postseasn, while going 16-5-1 in the past 22 games since July 10.

Seattle Storm at Las Vegas Aces Game 2 odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Tuesday’s Seattle Storm at Las Vegas Aces Game 2 odds and lines, with WNBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Seattle Storm and the Las Vegas Aces play Game 2 of their 1st-round best-of-3 series Tuesday at Michelob Ultra Arena at Mandalay Bay Hotel and Casino. Tip-off is scheduled for 9:30 p.m. ET (ESPN). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s WNBA odds around the Storm vs. Aces odds, and make our expert WNBA picks and predictions.

Playoff series: Aces lead 1-0; won regular-season series 3-1

The Aces picked up a 78-67 victory in Game 1 Sunday, cashing as a 9.5-point favorite as the Under (162) cashed.

Las Vegas shot 43.5% (30-of-69) from the floor, while going 38.9% (7-of-18) from behind the arc. The Aces were perfect from the free-throw line, too (11-of-11). As expected, C A’ja Wilson led the team with 21 points, while posting 8 rebounds, 5 blocked shots and 2 assists. G Tiffany Hayes had 20 points off the bench, including 2 triples.

Seattle shot just 36.8% (25-of-68) from the field, while going 25.0% (4-of-16) from behind the 3-point line. It was also perfect from the charity stripe (13-of-13).

Seattle actually outrebounded Las Vegas (40-3), but the Aces had only 8 turnovers, while the Storm had 13 miscues. G Jewell Loyd had an off game, though, going for just 6 points on 2-of-8 shooting.

Over/Under (O/U): 160.5 (O: -110 | U: -110)

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Storm at Aces picks and predictions

Prediction

Aces 79, Storm 73

Moneyline

The Aces (-450) will set you back 4 1/2 times your potential return. That’s way too much risk for not enough return.

It’s tough putting a team away in an elimination game, and the Storm (+350) will give Las Vegas all it can handle. Loyd also won’t struggle like she did in Game 1. She rarely has back-to-back poor efforts, and she’ll work hard to try and force this series to a decisive Game 3.

AVOID.

Against the spread

The STORM +8.5 (-115) is worth a look in Game 2. Seattle did a good job in Game 1, but it wasn’t quite good enough. The biggest difference was that Loyd had trouble from the field, and she managed just 6 points. That won’t happen in a 2nd straight, especially with the season on the line.

Look for Seattle to keep things close in what could be a lower-scoring Game 2.

Over/Under

UNDER 160.5 (-110) is a strong play in Game 2.

Both of these teams were perfect from the free-throw line in the series opener. That’s unlikely to happen again.

Seattle has cashed low in 7 of the past 9 games since Sept. 3, including the past 2 meetings with Las Vegas.

The Under is on a 8-1 run for the Aces since Sept. 3, while going 16-5 across the past 21 contests.

Seattle Storm at Las Vegas Aces Game 1 odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Seattle Storm at Las Vegas Aces Game 1 odds and lines, with WNBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Seattle Storm (25-15) take on the defending-champion Las Vegas Aces (27-13) Sunday in Game 1 of their best-of-3 series. Tip-off from Michelob ULTRA Arena is set for 10 p.m. (ESPN). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s WNBA odds around the Storm vs. Aces odds, and make our expert WNBA picks and predictions.

Regular-season series: Aces won 3-1

The Storm come to town with G Jewell Loyd making it rain. She averaged a team-high 19.7 PPG with 4.5 boards, 3.6 dimes and 1.4 steals per game. She attempted nearly a half-dozen 3-pointers a game, which the Aces will have to respect. The Storm won 5 of 6 games to end the regular season.

The Aces won the last 3 meetings and covered in all of them. The last meeting was Wednesday with a 85-72 final in Seattle. C A’ja Wilson had 21 points and 7 boards. She averaged 26.9 PPG and 11.9 RPG in the regular season. The Aces closed out the season winning 9 of 10 games.

Storm at Aces picks and predictions

Prediction

Aces 85, Storm 75

Moneyline

The defending champs went through a lull in the middle portion of the schedule, but they are clearly hitting their stride at the right time. Wilson is still a dominant presence underneath, and she’s getting help from G Kelsey Plum on the outside. Plum has scored 14-plus points in 7 of 8 games. The Aces have won 9 of 10 against Seattle, and they’ll make it 10 of 11.

There’s too much juice on LV here. There is one particular prop I’m feelin. It’s KELSEY PLUM OVER 2.5 REBOUNDS (-155). She has 3+ boards in 5 of the last 6 games.

Against the spread

In winning 9 of 10 overall, the Aces went 9-0-1 ATS. The Storm went 6-4 in their last 10, but just 4-6 ATS. Vegas is 8-2 ATS in the last 10 meetings with Seattle.

Take the ACES -9.5 (-115).

Connecticut Sun at Las Vegas Aces odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Connecticut Sun at Las Vegas Aces odds and lines, with WNBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Connecticut Sun (27-10) and Las Vegas Aces (24-13) meet Sunday at Michelob Ultra Arena at Mandalay Bay Hotel and Casino. Tip-off is scheduled for 6 p.m. ET (CBS Sports Network). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Sun vs. Aces odds, and make our expert WNBA picks and predictions.

Season series: Aces lead 2-0

The Sun sit in 3rd place in the overall standings, so this is an important game for playoff seeding. The Aces are 3 games behind the Sun, while Connecticut is 1 game behind 2nd-place Minnesota.

Las Vegas has dominated this series, winning 5 of the past 6 in the series, while also going 5-1 against the spread (ATS) since 2022. That includes this season, as the Aces are 2-0 SU/ATS, while the Under has cashed in both outings.

Connecticut has won and covered 3 in a row, while the Under is 4-1 in the past 5 outings. The last loss for the Sun was Sept. 6 at Mohegan Sun Arena, 72-67, against the Aces as the Under (164.5) cashed.

Las Vegas has won 2 in a row, and 6 of the past 7 games. The Aces are an impressive 6-0-1 ATS in that span, while the Under has cashed in 5 straight outings.

Over/Under (O/U): 159.5 (O: -110 | U: -110)

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Suns at Aces picks and predictions

Prediction

Aces 82, Sun 75

Moneyline

Las Vegas (-225) will cost you more than 2 times your potential return. While the Aces have dominated this series this season, and in recent seasons, that’s way too much risk for not nearly enough reward.

Connecticut (+180) still has a lot to play for, as it jockeys for better playoff seeding. It’s tempting to play the Sun, but not against a red-hot Aces team which seems to be their kryptonite.

PASS.

Against the spread

Back LAS VEGAS -4.5 (-110) at home laying the points. The Aces were on an 0-9 ATS skid from July 12-Aug. 28, but they’ve turned things around with a 6-0-1 ATS run since Aug. 30, including a 72-67 win at Connecticut Sept. 6 as a 1.5-point favorite.

The Sun have pieced things together with 3 straight wins and covers, but all of those games have been against teams with a losing record, including a back-to-back at Los Angeles.

Over/Under

UNDER 159.5 (-110) is the lean, but go with a half-unit play at most.

For Connecticut, the Under is 4-1 in the past 5 games, while going 8-4 across the previous 12 outings. The Under is 5-2 in the past 7 road contests for the Sun, too.

As far as Las Vegas is concerned, the Under has cashed in 5 straight outings, while going 13-4 across the past 17 meetings since July 10.

Las Vegas Aces at Indiana Fever odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Friday’s Las Vegas Aces at Indiana Fever odds and lines, with WNBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Las Vegas Aces (23-13) and Indiana Fever (19-18) meet Friday at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in the 2nd game of a back-to-back set. Tip-off is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET (ION). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Aces vs. Fever odds, and make our expert WNBA picks and predictions.

Season series: Aces lead 3-0

The Aces are piecing things together just in time for what it hopes is another championship run. Vegas has won 5 of the past 6 games straight up (SU), while covering in 6 in a row. The Under has cashed in 4 consecutive outings, while going 9 of the past 12 contests.

One of those victories and covers was in the front end of this back-to-back in Indy. Vegas won 86-75, beating the Fever for the 14th straight time, as A’ja Wilson scored 27 points with 12 rebounds. She became the WNBA’s single-season scoring leader in 35 games with 956 points, passing Seattle’s Jewell Loyd, who had 939 points in 38 games last season.

Indiana’s Caitlin Clark had a brutal night from behind the arc, going just 1-of-10 against Vegas, while finishing with 16 points on 6-of-22 shooting. Luckily, Kelsey Mitchell had 24 points to pace the Fever and keep them in it.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Aces at Fever picks and predictions

Prediction

Aces 89, Fever 76

Moneyline

Las Vegas (-225) would set you back more than 2 times your potential return, and that’s way too much risk for not enough reward. While it seems like a slam-dunk play, as the Aces have vanquished Indiana (+180) in 14 straight meetings, it’s too expensive.

PASS.

Against the spread

It’s difficult to win and cover in a back-to-back set, especially on the road. However, LAS VEGAS -5.5 (-105) has managed 6 consecutive covers, and it has covered all 3 meetings with Clark and Indiana +5.5 (-115) this season. There is very little evidence that the Fever will suddenly catch fire and turn things around in this series.

Over/Under

UNDER 177.5 (-110) might be the best play on the board in this 2nd installment in the past 3 days.

The Under has cashed in each of the previous 2 meetings, including Wednesday’s game with a combined 161 points on a total of 180. The Under is 8-2 in the past 10 in the series since Aug. 28, 2021, too.

For Vegas, the total has gone low in 4 straight, and 12 of the past 16 outings since July 10 prior to the All-Star and Olympic break.

As far as Indiana is concerned, the Over is 5-1 in the past 6 games, but the Under has a slight 2-1 edge in the past 3 against winning teams, while going 7-2 in the previous 9 against teams above .500.

Las Vegas Aces at Indiana Fever odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s Las Vegas Aces at Indiana Fever odds and lines, with WNBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Las Vegas Aces (22-13) and Indiana Fever (19-17) meet Wednesday at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in the front end of a back-to-back set. Tip-off is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET (NBATV). Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Aces vs. Fever odds, and make our expert WNBA picks and predictions.

Season series: Aces lead 2-0

The Aces have not only won both meetings this season, but Las Vegas has won 13 consecutive games in this series since Indiana won 86-71 at home on Aug. 27, 2019. Indiana is a respectable 3-2 against the spread (ATS) in the past 5 in the series, although the Aces have covered both games against Caitlin Clark and the Fever this season.

For Vegas, superstar A’ja Wilson is averaging 28.5 points, 12.0 rebounds, 3.0 blocks, 1.5 assists and 1.5 steals per game in the 2 meetings with Indiana this season.

The Over-Under has split in the 2 battles this season, both in Las Vegas, while the total has gone low at a 7-2 clip in the previous 9 in the series.

Las Vegas is coming off a 75-71 loss against the top-seeded New York Liberty at Barclays Center in Brooklyn on Sunday, although it covered as 9.5-point underdogs. The Aces have covered a season-high 5 in a row. In fact, that cover streak comes on the heels of an 0-9 ATS skid, and Las Vegas was a dismal 10-20 ATS prior to the impressive run.

The Under has cashed in 3 in a row for Vegas, while going 11-4 in the past 15 outings. The Under has cashed on the 1st 2 games of this 4-game road trip, too.

Indiana is coming off a thrilling 104-100 overtime home victory Sunday against the Atlanta Dream, although it just missed covering as a 5-point favorite as the Over (171) comfortably cashed. Clark was sensational, going for 26 points, 12 assists and 4 3-pointers, although she did have 9 turnovers, too. But, it was Aliyah Boston who led the way with 30 points, 13 boards, 5 dimes and a blocked shot.

Aces at Fever picks and predictions

Prediction

Aces 96, Fever 90

Moneyline

Las Vegas (-154) has dominated this series over the past half-decade, winning 13 consecutive meetings since 2019, including the 2 installments this season against Clark.

However, backing the Aces on the moneyline makes little sense, unless you’re absolutely set on an Aces win, but only by a single point.

PASS, and lay the points instead.

Against the spread

Back LAS VEGAS -3 (-110), as it enters on a season-high 5-game cover streak. Between that, and the fact the Aces have won 13 straight in this series, you have to fade Indiana +3 (-110) until it proves it can get over the hump against the defending champs.

Over/Under

OVER 178 (-110) is a big number, but a strong play nonetheless.

The Over has cashed in 5 in a row for the Fever, as they’ve hit the century mark on offense in 3 of those outings. Indiana shouldn’t have nearly the same kind of offensive freedom against Las Vegas, but it still had a respectable 88 points in a loss against the No. 2 seed Minnesota Lynx in the game Friday, so it doesn’t seem to matter who is on the other side, Indiana is dictating the pace.

Las Vegas Aces at New York Liberty odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Las Vegas Aces at New York Liberty odds and lines, with WNBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Las Vegas Aces (22-12) and New York Liberty (28-6) meet Sunday at Barclays Center. Tip-off is scheduled for 4 p.m. ET (ESPN). Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Aces vs. Liberty odds, and make our expert WNBA picks and predictions.

Season series: Liberty lead 2-0

The Aces won their 4th in a row with a 72-67 road W against the Connecticut Sun Friday. G Kelsey Plum led the squad with 27 points, and F A’ja Wilson had 20 points and 8 boards. They trail the Sun by 2 games for the 3rd seed with 6 to go.

The Liberty coasted to a 77-70 win over the Seattle Storm Thursday. They failed to cover as 8-point faves. F Breanna Stewart had an off-night with 14 points on 5-for-16 shooting. The Liberty hold the best record in the league by 3 games.

Aces at Liberty odds

Provided by FanDuel Sportsbook; access USA TODAY Sports Scores and Sports Betting Odds hub for a full list. Lines last updated Saturday at 7 p.m. ET.

Moneyline (ML): Aces +140 (bet $100 to win $140) | Liberty -172 (bet $172 to win $100)
Against the spread: Aces +4 (-112) | Liberty -4 (-108)
Over/Under (O/U): 167.5 (O: -110 | U: -110)

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Aces at Liberty picks and predictions

Prediction

Aces 82, Liberty 79

Moneyline

The Aces have won and covered 4 games in a row. Meanwhile, the Liberty have been a little vulnerable with 2 losses in their last 5 and a 2-4 ATS mark in their last 6.

Vegas needs this one more, and it’s really hard to beat this battle-tested team 3 straight times. Take the ACES +140.

Against the spread

I’m going to forego the spread here since we’re taking a chance on the ML. These games haven’t been too close with 8- and 12-point margins this season.

PASS.

Over/Under

Both meetings this year have gone Under. In fact, this matchup hasn’t spawned an Over in 7 straight meetings. New York is 4-6 O/U in its last 10, and Vegas is 3-7.

Take the UNDER 167.5 (-110).
