Connecticut Sun at Las Vegas Aces odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Friday’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 (13-1) and Las Vegas Aces (7-6) meet Friday at Michelob Ultra Arena at Mandalay Bay. Tip-off is scheduled for 10 p.m. ET (ION). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Sun vs. Aces odds, and make our expert WNBA picks and predictions.

Season series: First meeting; Aces won 2-1 in 2023

The Sun have posted 4 consecutive victories since falling 82-75 at home to the New York Liberty, the team’s only setback of the season. Connecticut won the last time out, 79-70 on Tuesday, although the Los Angeles Sparks posted the cover as a double-digit underdog (+13.5) with the Under connecting (153.5).

The Aces are coming off a 94-83 win over the Seattle Storm on Wednesday night, as Jackie Young rolled up 32 points. She has been on a scoring binge lately, going for 32 or more points in 2 of the past 3 outings, while averaging 25.3 points, 4.7 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 1.0 steals per game in the past 3 contests.

Sun at Aces picks and predictions

Prediction

Sun 88, Aces 83

Moneyline

CONNECTICUT (+170) has the best record in the WNBA, yet it is a rather substantial underdog in Las Vegas (-210). Take advantage.

The Sun has won all 5 games on the road this season, and defense is a major reason for the team’s overall success. Connecticut leads the league with just 70.7 points per game (PPG) allowed, exactly 4 points less than the next nearest team, the Minnesota Lynx.

The Aces are the top offensive team in the league with 87.4 PPG, so it won’t be easy for the Sun. But Connecticut is playing much better basketball, and it’s a great value at this price point.

Against the spread

CONNECTICUT +5.5 (+100) is worth playing at even-money if you can’t bring yourself to bet it straight up.

Las Vegas -5.5 (-130) is a little on the pricey side laying the points, and it has failed to cover the past 5 outings. The Aces are also 1-4 ATS in the past 5 games at home.

For the Sun, they’ve covered 3 of the past 4 contests, while going 5-0 ATS in 5 road outings.

Over/Under

OVER 163.5 (-110) is a strong play in Friday’s late-window game.

The total has gone high in 3 of the past 5 games for Connecticut, while also going 3-2 in 5 outings on the road this season.

As far as Las Vegas is concerned, the Over has cashed in 3 of the past 4 outings, while going 4-2 in the past 6 outings at home.

Seattle Storm at Las Vegas Aces odds, picks and predictions

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

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Seattle Storm (9-5) and Las Vegas Aces (6-6) meet Wednesday at Michelob Ultra Arena at Mandalay Bay. Tip-off is scheduled for 10 p.m. ET (NBA TV). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Storm vs. Aces odds, and make our expert WNBA picks and predictions.

Season series: Storm lead 1-0

The Storm have already hit it big in Vegas, winning 78-65 on June 7 in the 1st head-to-head meeting of the season as huge +285 moneyline underdogs. Seattle was a 7.5-point underdog, and the Under (167.5) easily connected.

Seattle lost last time out in Phoenix 87-78 and it is just 2-2 straight up (SU) and against the spread (ATS) in the past 4 outings. The Under has cashed in 4 of the past 6 contests, too.

The Aces have dropped 4 of the past 5 outings, while going 0-5 ATS in somewhat of a nosedive. The Under cashed (174) cashed last time out on Saturday, but the Over is still 3-1 in the past 4 outings.

Over/Under (O/U): 172.5 (O: -110 | U: -110)

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Storm at Aces picks and predictions

Prediction

Aces 83, Storm 79

Moneyline

Las Vegas (-300) will cost 3 times your potential return, and that’s way too risky for a multitude of reasons.

First off, the Aces have dropped 4 of the past 5 games, and it has 6 losses overall. The Aces didn’t suffer their 6th loss last season until their 40th game, which left them 34-6 heading into Aug. 29.

Still, Seattle (+240) already won 2 weeks ago on the Strip but it has had trouble of its own lately, dropping 2 of the past 4 outings.

PASS and look to the spread instead.

Against the spread

SEATTLE +7.5 (-120) is worth a look.

Las Vegas cannot be trusted as it has failed to cover in its past 5 outings. That non-cover streak started with the June 7 home loss to Seattle.

The Aces have won 7 of the past 8 meetings in the head-to-head series, but the Storm are 2-1 ATS in the past 3 dating back to last season.

Over/Under

UNDER 172.5 (-110) is strong play in this Western Conference tilt.

The Under is 3-1 in the previous 4 meetings in this series, including June 7.

The total has gone Under in 4 of the past 6 games for Seattle, too, including 6-2 in the past 8 road contests.

For Las Vegas, the Under hit last time out against the Liberty, but the Over is still 3-1 in the past 4 games, so tread lightly.

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

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

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The New York Liberty (11-2) and Las Vegas Aces (6-5) meet Saturday at the Michelob Ultra Arena at Mandalay Bay. Tip-off is scheduled for 3 p.m. ET (ABC). Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Liberty vs. Aces odds, and make our expert WNBA picks and predictions.

Season series: First meeting; Split 2-2 in regular season

Last season, New York and Las Vegas split their 4-game regular-season series. In the Commissioner’s Cup title game, which didn’t count in the regular-season series or the standings, the Liberty rolled to an 82-63 road win as 7.5-point underdogs.

The Aces, however, would get the final bragging rights as they beat the Liberty 3 games to 1 in the best-of-5 WNBA Finals. The Aces won all but Game 3 and covered the spread in all 3 of their wins.

The Liberty enter this one on a 7-game win streak since dropping 2 in a row against the visiting Chicago Sky May 23, and at the Minnesota Lynx May 25. New York had covered 4 in a row until only beating the Washington Mystics 93-88 as a 15-point favorite Sunday in its most recent game. The Liberty are also 4-1 ATS in their past 5 road outings, while the Over has cashed in 4 of their past 6 games.

The Aces snapped a 3-game losing streak with a 103-99 road win Thursday at the Phoenix Mercury. It was the first time Las Vegas lost 3 in a row since the 2019 season. While Las Vegas won at Phoenix, the Aces didn’t cover as 6-point favorites. They are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 and 1-5 ATS in the last 6. As for the O/U, the Over has cashed in 3 in a row, and 7 of the previous 10 outings.

Liberty at Aces odds

Moneyline (ML): Liberty +110 (bet $100 to win $110) | Aces -134 (bet $134 to win $100)
Against the spread: Liberty +2.5 (-112) | Aces -2.5 (-108)
Over/Under (O/U): 171.5 (O: -110 | U: -110)

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Liberty at Aces picks and predictions

Prediction

Liberty 90, Aces 86

Moneyline

NEW YORK (+110) is worth a look as a slight road ‘dog.

As mentioned, Las Vegas (-134) beat New York in the WNBA Finals in 4 games, but instead of pocket Aces, this team has been performing like a 2 and a 7 lately. Yes, the Aces won at the Mercury last time out, but they still struggled defensively, allowing 99 points.

New York has rattled off 7 in a row, which included an 81-78 win over the Mercury and an 82-75 victory last Saturday at Connecticut — it was the Sun’s 1st loss of the season.

Against the spread

If you’re not interested betting on an outright win and would rather take the little bit of points, New York +2.5 (-112) is worth a play.

Las Vegas is just 1-5 ATS in 6 games at home this season, so playing the New York isn’t a bad idea. If f you like the Liberty, you should just play them straight up on the moneyline for a better value.

Over/Under

OVER 171.5 (-110) is a strong play whenever the Aces are associated lately.

The Over has cashed in 3 in a row for the Aces, while they also allowed 96 or more points in 3 straight games and an average of 98.3 PPG. The Over has cashed in 4 of the past 5 games at home for the Aces, too.

For New York, the Over has cashed in 2 in a row, and in 4 of the past 6 games. The total has gone Over just once in the past 5 road games, though, so be careful.

Las Vegas Aces at Phoenix Mercury odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Thursday’s Las Vegas Aces at Phoenix Mercury odds and lines, with WNBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Las Vegas Aces (5-5) and Phoenix Mercury (6-6) meet Thursday in a Commissioner’s Cup game at Footprint Center in Phoenix. Tip-off is scheduled for 10 p.m. ET (Prime Video). Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Aces vs. Mercury odds, and make our expert WNBA picks and predictions.

Season series: Tied 1-1

The Aces suffered a 100-86 loss at home to the Minnesota Lynx as a 7-point favorite Tuesday. It was the 3rd straight setback for Las Vegas, who has dropped 3 in a row for the first time since 2019.

The Aces have allowed 98.0 PPG in the past 2 games, the most points allowed in consecutive games by Las Vegas since allowing 108.5 PPG in a home-and-home with the New York Liberty July 6-12, 2022.

The Mercury posted a 97-90 win in overtime on the road against the Dallas Wings Sunday. Phoenix has won and covered consecutive games for the first time since a 3-game win streak from May 18-23, which included a 98-88 road win against the Aces on May 21 as a 13.5-point underdog.

Phoenix has won just the one game May 21 in the past 10 tries against Las Vegas. However, the Mercury have covered 3 in a row in the series since Sept. 10, and the Over is 6-1 in the previous 7 meetings.

Moneyline (ML): Aces -250 (bet $250 to win $100) | Mercury +198 (bet $100 to win $198)
Against the spread: Aces -5.5 (-110) | Mercury +5.5 (-110)
Over/Under (O/U): 170 (O: -108 | U: -112)

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Aces at Mercury picks and predictions

Prediction

Mercury 93, Aces 89

Moneyline

PHOENIX (+198) is a tremendous value at home, as you can nearly double up with a win by the home side.

Las Vegas (-250) is struggling badly, especially at the defensive end, and facing a Mercury team that dropped 98 on it earlier in the season at Mandalay Bay won’t help matters.

Against the spread

PHOENIX +5.5 (-110) is worth playing if you still can’t bring yourself to bet against Las Vegas -5.5 (-110) despite its recent woes.

The Merc have covered 3 of the past 4 outings, while going a respectable 3-2 ATS in 5 games at the Footprint Center this season, including covers in the past 2.

The Aces are not only losing outright, but as you’d imagine, they’re not covering, either. Las Vegas is 0-3 ATS in the 3-game losing skid, and just 3-7 ATS on the season.

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

Over/Under

OVER 170 (-108) is a solid play until the Aces can prove they’re past their defensive woes.

The Over has hit in back-to-back games, with Las Vegas going for 89.0 PPG, while allowing 98.0 PPG. The offense is good for 86 or more points on 7 of 10 occasions.

The Mercury hit the Over last time out in an OT road win in Dallas, and they cashed high in the most recent meeting with Las Vegas May 21.

Minnesota Lynx at Las Vegas Aces odds, picks and predictions

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

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Minnesota Lynx (8-3) and Las Vegas Aces (5-4) meet Tuesday in a Commissioner’s Cup game at Michelob Ultra Arena at Mandalay Bay. Tip-off is scheduled for 10 p.m. ET (NBA TV). Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Lynx vs. Aces odds, and make our expert WNBA picks and predictions.

Season series: Aces lead 1-0

The Lynx have won 4 of the past 5 games since losing May 29 at home to the Aces 80-66, while going 4-1 against the spread (ATS). Minnesota has played great defense lately, too, allowing 62 or fewer points in 2 of the past 3 games, while cashing the Under in all 3 outings.

The Aces dropped a high-scoring 96-92 game at Los Angeles Sunday, and it’s the 4th time Las Vegas has lost outright as a favorite of 7.5 or more points this season. In fact, Las Vegas is just 5-4 SU this season. It didn’t lose its 4th game last season until Aug. 19.

Las Vegas has won 5 straight head-to-head meetings vs. Minnesota, while also covering in each of the battles. When the Aces won the May 29 game, they were 4-point road favorites and the Under (169) cashed.

The Aces are 9-1 SU and 7-3 ATS in the previous 10 in the series dating back to Sept. 8, 2021. The Under has a slight 3-2 edge in the 5-game win streak for the Aces.

Over/Under (O/U): 166 (O: -110 | U: -110)

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Lynx at Aces picks and predictions

Prediction

Aces 84, Lynx 80

Moneyline

Las Vegas (-300) will set you back 3 times your potential return, and while that’s never a good betting strategy, it’s especially risky lately since the Aces aren’t playing very good basketball.

Yes, the Aces dominate Minnesota (+235), but the Lynx are playing pretty good basketball, and it isn’t a recommended bet.

AVOID and focus on the spread.

Against the spread

MINNESOTA +6.5 (-108) is a solid play catching more than 3 buckets.

Red-hot F Napheesa Collier has 5 double-doubles in the past 6 outings, including 18 points and 13 assists in the 1st battle with the Aces May 29 in the Twin Cities. Collier had 19 points, 14 rebounds and 3 assists with 2 3-pointers last time out against Seattle, too.

Collier was recently named to the Team USA Olympic team. She’s the lone Minnesota player on the American squad, while Las Vegas has 4 in guards Chelsea Gray, Kelsey Plum and Jackie Young and 2-time MVP center A’ja Wilson.

Over/Under

UNDER 166 (-110) is the lean in this Commissioner’s Cup showdown; go with a half-unit play at most.

The Lynx have cashed the Under in 3 in a row, and these teams combined for 146 points on a total of 169 in the first meeting May 29 in Minneapolis. The total has gone Under at a 3-2 pace in the past 5 games for Vegas, too.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Storm at Aces picks and predictions

Prediction

Aces 91, Storm 85

Moneyline

PASS.

There is no value on the Aces (-375) moneyline. They have lost just 2 games this season while dominating in each of their wins. While the Storm are on a 5-game winning streak, 2 of those wins came against the Indiana Fever (2-9). who have the 2nd-worst record in the WNBA. The Storm have been dominated in their recent matchups against the Aces, losing 7 in a row.

Against the spread

LEAN STORM +8.5 (-120).

While the Aces hold the advantage, the Storm have played well both overall and against the spread (ATS) this season. They are 6-3 straight up (SU) and ATS this season and have covered in each of their last 4 and their only game while playing as underdogs. The Aces are just 3-4 ATS including 1-3 ATS at home.

The Las Vegas Aces (4-2) and Dallas Wings (3-4) meet Wednesday in a Commissioner’s Cup game at College Park Center in Arlington, Texas. Tip-off is scheduled for 8 p.m. ET (NBA TV). Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Aces vs. Wings odds, and make our expert WNBA picks and predictions.

Season series: First meeting; Aces won 3-1 in 2023 regular season, while going 3-0 in the postseason

The Aces were stunned 78-74 in Atlanta by the Dream as an 8-point favorite as the Under (172.5) easily cashed. Las Vegas is now 1-1 straight up (SU) and against the spread (ATS) in 2 road games. The Under has cashed in both contests away from home.

Aces superstar A’ja Wilson leads the team with 26.5 points, 12.5 rebounds and 2.8 blocked shots per game, while shooting 48.4% from the field.

The Wings have dropped the past 2 games, and they’re 2-4 in the past 6 outings. However, Dallas is 4-1 ATS in the past 5 outings, while the Over has cashed in 3 of the previous 4 contests.

Dallas won as a 9.5-point underdog July 7 at home, winning 80-78 as the Under (176) connected. Las Vegas has won 5 straight meetings, scoring at least 91 points in 4 of those outings. The Aces are 3-2 ATS in the 5-game span, including the final 2 regular-season meetings.

Aces at Wings picks and predictions

Prediction

Aces 89, Wings 84

Moneyline

Las Vegas (-385) will cost you nearly 4 times your potential return, and that’s way too much risk for not enough reward. Even as part of a multi-leg parlay, including the Aces sucks all of the value out of your ticket.

PASS and look to the spread instead.

Against the spread

DALLAS +8 (-106) is a decent play. The Wings have dropped 2 in a row, and 4 of the past 6 games, but they’re a respectable 4-1 ATS in the past 5 outings.

The Wings have split a pair of games both straight up and against the spread at home, too.

Las Vegas -8 (-114) has managed to cover just twice in 6 tries, and it’s 1-4 ATS in 5 games when favored by 8 or more points. It lost outright in Atlanta laying the exact same number last time out.

The Wings have cashed high on the total in 3 of the past 4 games, and they’ve allowed 83 or more points in 5 of the past 6 outings, too.

Aces 92, Fever 79

Moneyline

The Aces (-1500) will cost 15 times your potential return. That’s way too much risk for not enough reward. Imagine if you bet the Aces at -1200 Tuesday when they lost at home to the Mercury. In the overall picture, you just never know. There are no locks.

Meanwhile, the Fever (+790) finally broke through for a victory Friday, but playing the 2nd end of a back-to-back, especially against the 2-time defending champs, is a tall order for anyone.

PASS.

Against the spread

INDIANA +15 (-110) is a strong play catching this large amount of points.

The Fever are hot, pun not intended, cashing against the number in each of the past 4 outings. After a lot of hype, and poor showings in the first 2 games, the Fever have started to play well together, and they’re a strong play in this marquee battle.

Over/Under

UNDER 173 (-110) is worth a look in the 2nd game of Indiana’s back-to-back situation.

The Under (165.5) cased for Indiana Friday in Los Angeles, and the O/U has split 2-2 in 4 road outings for Indiana so far this season.

Las Vegas is No. 2 in the WNBA in scoring with 88.7 PPG, while allowing 86.7 PPG, which is the 2nd-worst mark in the league through 3 games. It’s a small sample size, though, and Indiana should be tired after traveling to Vegas following an emotional win Friday.

WNBA Finals Game 4: Las Vegas Aces at New York Liberty odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s Las Vegas Aces at New York Liberty Game 4 odds and lines, with WNBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Las Vegas Aces and New York Liberty meet Wednesday for Game 4 of their WNBA Finals best-of-5 playoff matchup. Tipoff from Barclays Center in Brooklyn is scheduled for 8 p.m. ET (ESPN). Below, we analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Aces vs. Liberty Game 4 odds, and make our expert WNBA picks and predictions.

WNBA Finals series: Aces lead 2-1

The Aces had a chance to eliminate the Liberty in Game 3, but New York stayed alive with an 87-73 victory as a 1.5-point underdog. Las Vegas is now 0-2 against the spread (ATS) in 2 road playoff games, with the Under cashing in each of those outings. Las Vegas is averaging just 69.5 points per game (PPG) in those 2 road playoff games, too.

The big news is that the Aces will be missing 2 starters for Game 4. Aces G Chelsea Gray, the 2022 WNBA Finals MVP, and C Kiah Stokes are both out with foot injuries.

Gray, who is averaging 15.0 points, 5.0 rebounds and 7.3 assists per game in the Finals, exited Game 3 with her injury in the 4th quarter. Stokes, who had 9 rebounds in Game 3 and is averaging 2.7 points and 6.7 rebounds in the Finals, isn’t sure when she hurt her foot. She is averaging 2.8 points and 7.9 rebound in the postseason.

The Liberty snapped an 0-3 ATS skid in Game 3, and the Under (172) cashed Sunday to snap a 5-0 Over run. New York is still 2-6 ATS in the past 8 games overall. The Liberty have scored 84 or more points in 4 of 5 home games in these playoffs.

Game 4: Aces at Liberty picks and predictions

Prediction

Aces 83, Liberty 80

Moneyline

The ACES (+194) were favorites in Game 3, and they ended up laying an egg as the Liberty extended their season. Now, the shoe is on the other foot, and Las Vegas is a giant value as a moderate underdog.

The line has moved in the Liberty’s favor with the injuries to the Aces’ Gray and Stokes, and many expect the home team to cruise in this one.

I’m predicting Las Vegas will thwart the doubters and successfully defend last season’s title with a win Wednesday.

Behind star F A’ja Wilson (20.3 PPG, 11.3 RPG in the Finals) and G’s Kelsey Plum (26.0 PPG, 3.7 assists per game) and Jackie Young (19.3 PPG, 5.3 RPG, 4.3 APG), the Aces pull this off.

Yes, the Aces have struggled in the postseason on the road, going just 1-1 SU and 0-2 ATS. But they’re also a high-octane offense, and they’ll get the bounce-back in Game 4, hoisting the trophy once again.

Against the spread

If you can’t bring yourself to play the Aces on the moneyline to win straight up, at least play LAS VEGAS +5.5 (-104) to keep it within 3 buckets.

There is risk as the Aces are 1-6 ATS in the past 7 road games. However, the Liberty are just 1-4 ATS in the past 5 home outings. Las Vegas is 19-8 ATS in the past 27 meetings, too.

Over/Under

The UNDER 169.5 (-114) is worth playing in Game 4. The intensity will be ratcheted up to an all-time high, and it’s a good idea to buck most of the trends.

The Over has cashed in 10 of the past 14 in the series, while cashing in 4 of the past 5 in New York. But that lone Under was in Game 3.

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

Analyzing Sunday’s Las Vegas Aces at New York Liberty Game 3 odds and lines, with WNBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Las Vegas Aces and New York Liberty meet Sunday for Game 3 of their WNBA Finals best-of-5 playoff matchup. Tip-off from Barclays Center in Brooklyn is scheduled for 3 p.m. ET (ABC). Below, we analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Aces vs. Liberty Game 3 odds, and make our expert WNBA picks and predictions.

WNBA Finals Series: Aces lead 2-0

The Liberty crapped out in Vegas like many travelers before them, losing each of the 1st 2 games in the series, then taking the long flight home with empty pockets.

Las Vegas rolled up a 99-82 win as 4.5-point favorites in Game 1 as the Over (170) cashed. It got worse in Game 2, as the Aces thumped the Liberty 104-76 to cash as 4.5-point favorites, and the Over (170.5) cashed yet again.

The Aces are an impressive 7-0 SU in the postseason, covering 5 of the outings, while the Over is 3-1-1 in the past 5 games overall. The Aces went on the road just once so far in this postseason, winning just 64-61 at Dallas in the West semifinals, failing to cover as the Under connected.

The Liberty hope being home will keep their season, and championship hopes, alive. New York has failed to cover the past 3 games overall, while going just 1-6 ATS in the past 7 outings. At home, New York is 3-1 SU in these playoffs, while going just 1-3 ATS. The Over has cashed in 5 straight games for the Liberty.

Game 3: Aces at Liberty odds

Moneyline (ML): Aces -130 (bet $130 to win $100) | Liberty +106 (bet $100 to win $106)
Against the spread (ATS): Aces -1.5 (-114) | Liberty +1.5 (-105)
Over/Under (O/U): 171.5 (O: -111 | U: -115)

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Game 3: Aces at Liberty picks and predictions

Prediction

Liberty 84, Aces 81

Moneyline

The LIBERTY (+106) have some pride, and it will come out in Game 3 as New York is able to extend their season.

There hasn’t been a lot of competitiveness in this series, but New York is hopeful a change of venue will change its fortunes. The Liberty have won 3 of 4 games at home in this postseason.

It won’t be easy, but the Liberty should be able to stave off elimination and force a Game 4.

Against the spread

If you like the Liberty +1.5 (-105) to bounce back and force a Game 4, then playing the moneyline makes a lot more sense than taking a point and a half.

AVOID, and just take New York straight up.

Over/Under

The UNDER 171.5 (-115) is worth a look. If New York is going to extend its season, it needs to take the air out of the ball and slow things down. The Aces have gotten out and run, and averaged 101.5 PPG in 2 games in this series.

The last time, and only time, the Aces have been on the road, the Wings slowed it down and held the high-flying Aces to just 64 points. New York needs to scour the film and repeat that strategy.
