Las Vegas Aces at Seattle Storm odds, picks and predictions

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

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Las Vegas Aces (13-7) and Seattle Storm (14-7) meet Wednesday afternoon at Climate Pledge Arena. Tip-off is scheduled for 3 p.m. ET (Amazon Prime Video). Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Aces vs. Storm odds, and make our expert WNBA picks and predictions.

Season series: Tied 1-1

The Aces had a rough patch in early to mid-June, but Las Vegas has shown its championship mettle lately. The Aces are 7-1 in the past 8 games, while going 6-2 against the spread (ATS) during the span.

The Aces offense has been on fire, too, averaging 98.3 points per game (PPG) in the past 3 games, cashing the Over. Las Vegas has scored 88 or more points in 6 in a row, too.

The Storm have racked up 5 wins in the past 6 outings along with a 5-1 ATS record in the impressive span. That streak started after a 94-83 loss and non-cover — as 6.5-point underdogs — in Las Vegas June 19 in the most recent meeting between the 2 teams. Aces superstar C A’ja Wilson posted 27 points, 9 rebounds, 4 steals and 2 blocks in that win, while G Jackie Young erupted for 32 points.

Seattle did win outright 78-65 as a 7.5-point underdog at Mandalay Bay June 7 as the Under (167) connected. However, Las Vegas G Chelsea Gray didn’t play. Wilson had another strong line, going for 29 points, 11 rebounds and 3 blocks in 36 minutes in that loss.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Aces at Storm picks and predictions

Prediction

Aces 92, Storm 83

Moneyline

Las Vegas (-210) will cost 2.1 times your potential return. That’s too risky for a standalone wager. As part of a multi-leg parlay Wednesday, playing the Aces won’t crush your ticket, but you can’t back Las Vegas by itself.

AVOID and look to the line instead.

Against the spread

LAS VEGAS -5 (-108) is a strong playing laying the points, but don’t get carried away. The Aces did cover as 6.5-point favorites in the most recent meeting June 19. However, Seattle is 5-1 ATS since that setback.

The Aces are on a roll, going 6-2 ATS in the past 8 outings, and they kicked that hot streak off in that mid-June battle against the Storm. BACK LAS VEGS -5 (-108), but again, don’t be too aggressive about it.

Over/Under

OVER 173.5 (-110) is the lean, but go with a half-unit play at most.

The Over has cashed in 3 in a row for the Aces as their offense has been a well-oiled machine lately. The Aces have scored 93 or more points in each of the past 3 contests, and 85 or more points in 11 of the previous 12 outings.

For the Storm, the Under and Over have alternated in the past 5 games, cashing low last time out against Chicago Sunday. Go high, but conviction isn’t terribly high.

Dallas Wings at Las Vegas Aces odds, picks and predictions

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

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Dallas Wings (5-16) and Las Vegas Aces (12-7) meet Sunday at Michelob Ultra Arena at Mandalay Bay. Tip-off is scheduled for 3 p.m. ET (ESPN). Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Wings vs. Aces odds, and make our expert WNBA picks and predictions.

Season series: Aces lead 1-0

The Aces picked up a 95-81 win in Arlington against the Wings June 5, cashing as 9-point favorites with the Over (167.5) connecting. Superstar C A’ja Wilson posted 36 points on 15-of-22 shooting, while adding 12 rebounds, 6 steals, 2 assist and a blocked shot.

However, Las Vegas is coming off a loss, suffering a 98-93 defeat in overtime at the Los Angeles Sparks Friday as a 13-point favorite — the Over (173.5) easily connected. Despite the outcome, Vegas is still 5-2 against the spread (ATS) in the past 7 games, while the Over has slight 4-3 edge in the span.

The Wings scored an 85-82 win at home against the Atlanta Dream Friday, but Dallas failed to cover as a 4.5-point favorite as the Over (163) connected. The victory halted a 3-game losing skid for Dallas, while it is 0-4 ATS in the past 4 games and just 2-13 ATS across the previous 15. The Over has cashed at a 6-1 clip in the Wings’ past 7 outings.

Moneyline (ML): Wings +790 (bet $100 to win $790) | Aces -1500 (bet $1,500 to win $100)
Against the spread: Wings +15 (-112) | Aces -15 (-108)
Over/Under (O/U): 174.5 (O: -110 | U: -110)

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Wings at Aces picks and predictions

Prediction

Aces 98, Wings 79

Moneyline

Las Vegas (-1500) is going to be awfully upset after an embarrassing loss in Los Angeles Friday as a double-digit favorite. Don’t expect it to happen again.

The Aces should take out their frustrations on the skidding Wings (+790), but you can’t risk this kind of money for such a minuscule return. Friday’s game in L.A. should serve as a cautionary tale why it is never a good idea to play such heavy favorites on the moneyline.

AVOID.

Against the spread

LAS VEGAS -15 (-108) failed to win, let alone cover, as a double-digit favorite Friday in Los Angeles. Don’t look for a repeat letdown Sunday, especially in front of the home fans.

As mentioned, the Aces paddled the Wings by 14 points in the Metroplex last month. Plus, they have won the past 4 meetings against Dallas at Mandalay Bay by an average margin of 10.3 points per game (PPG). Expect another impressive double-digit victory Sunday afternoon on the Strip.

Over/Under

OVER 174.5 (-110) is worth a look in this Western Conference matinee battle. The Over is 4-1-1 in the past 6 meetings in this series, including the first battle in Texas just over a month ago.

The Aces have averaged 95.5 PPG in the past 2 games. They have scored 88 or more points in 5 in a row, while going for 85 or more points in 10 of the past 11 outings.

The Wings defense is horrific, allowing 88 or more points in 6 of the past 7 outings, with the Over going 6-1 in that same span.

Indiana Fever at Las Vegas Aces odds, picks and predictions

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

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Indiana Fever (8-12) and Las Vegas Aces (10-6) meet Tuesday at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Tip-off is scheduled for 9:30 p.m. ET (ESPN). Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Fever vs. Aces odds, and make our expert WNBA picks and predictions.

Season series: Aces lead 1-0

The Aces picked up a 99-80 win against the Fever May 25 at Mandalay Bay, covering as 16-point favorites with the Over (174.5) connecting.

The Aces shot 47.9% (35-of-73) from the field, while hitting 37.1% (13-of-35) from behind the 3-point line. Las Vegas was also 88.9% (16-of-18) from the free-throw line.

The Fever hit just 42.9% (30-of-70) from the field, while managing to hit 37.0% (10-of-27) from downtown and going 76.9% (10-of-13) from the charity stripe. Las Vegas was a plus-4 in turnover margin, while the rebounding margin was even.

C A’ja Wilson scored 29 points with 15 rebounds on 12-of-18 shooting. She was 1 of 3 Aces with 20 or more points. G Kelsey Plum went for 20 points and G Jackie Young ended up with 22 points, with both players hitting 3 triples.

Fever G Caitlin Clark ended up with just 8 points in the 1st meeting, while hitting only 2-of-8 from the floor. She did have 7 assists and 5 rebounds, but she also turned it over 6 more times.

Moneyline (ML): Fever +630 (bet $100 to win $630) | Aces -1050 (bet $1,050 to win $100)
Against the spread: Fever +13 (-110) | Aces -13 (-110)
Over/Under (O/U): 175 (O: -108 | U: -112)

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Fever at Aces picks and predictions

Prediction

Aces 94, Fever 85

Moneyline

Backing Las Vegas (-1050) will cost more than 10 times the 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

TAKE INDIANA +13 (-110) as an underdog catching double digits.

The last time the Fever visited the Aces, Las Vegas came away with a 19-point win, flirting with triple digits on offense. However, the Aces are just 3-6 ATS in the past 9 games, while going just 1-4 ATS in the past 5 outings as a favorite of 7 or more points.

The Fever were struggling with hero ball, while failing to generate much in the way of consistency in the first meeting. However, Indiana has jelled nicely over the past month and is 6-1 ATS in the past 7 games, including an outright win at Phoenix as an 8-point underdog last time out in an 88-82 win.

Over/Under

OVER 175 (-108) is always a strong play in Fever games. The Under has hit in the past 2 games, but the Over is still 8-2 across the past 10 contests, and 14-4 in the previous 18 outings.

The Over cashed in the 1st meeting at home against the Aces, too, as these teams combined for 179 points with a total of 174.5 on the board.

For the Aces, the Under and Over have alternated in 6 games, while the Over is 5-3 across the previous 8 outings.

Las Vegas Aces at Washington Mystics odds, picks and predictions

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

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Las Vegas Aces (9-6) and Washington Mystics (4-14) meet Saturday at Entertainment & Sports Arena. Tip-off from Washington D.C. is scheduled for 2 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Aces vs. Mystics odds, and make our expert WNBA picks and predictions.

Season series: First meeting; Aces won 2-1 last season

Las Vegas enters on a 3-game win streak, its longest of the season. The Aces covered in all 3 victories, also a season best.

The Over is on a 5-2 run for the Aces, while going 4-0 across the past 4 road games.

Aces superstar C A’ja Wilson leads the league in scoring (28.0 points per game), rebounds (11.3 rpg) and blocks (2.4 bpg). She had 31 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks in a 95-83 win at the Chicago Sky Thursday, while hitting 10-of-19 from the field.

Washington has picked up the pace after a dismal 0-12 start, going 4-2 across the past 6 outings. Like the Aces, the Mystics have covered the past 3 games, while going an impressive 7-1 against the spread (ATS) in the previous 8 contests.

The Over is on a 5-0 run for the Mystics, while going 7-1 in the past 8 outings.

Aces at Mystics odds

Moneyline (ML): Aces -1000 (bet $1,000 to win $100) | Mystics +610 (bet $100 to win $610)
Against the spread: Aces -12.5 (-110) | Mystics +12.5 (-110)
Over/Under (O/U): 173.5 (O: -108 | U: -112)

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Aces at Mystics picks and predictions

Prediction

Aces 94, Mystics 83

Moneyline

Las Vegas (-1000) will set you back 10 times your potential return, which is a crazy amount of risk for a standalone wager. Even as part of a multi-leg or same-game parlay (SGP), there is just no value including such a heavy favorite. Over the long term it is a losing betting strategy.

PASS.

Against the spread

Take WASHINGTON +12.5 (-110) with the points in this home game at the cozy Entertainment & Sports Arena in D.C.

The Mystics have been on fire against the number, going 7-1 ATS in the past 8 games. They’re also an impressive 4-1 ATS in 5 games as double-digit underdogs this season, including a near-miss in a 94-91 OT home loss against the Connecticut Sun Thursday.

Las Vegas has won and covered a season-high 3 in a row, but it is just 2-4 ATS as a favorite of 10 or more points this season.

Over/Under

OVER 173.5 (-110) is a solid play in Aces games, and it’s been a slam-dunk play lately when the Mystics are involved, too.

Las Vegas has scored 85 or more points in 6 of the past 7 games, while conceding at least 83 points in 6 of the past 7. The Over is on a 5-2 run for the Aces.

Washington has been a meal ticket for Over bettors lately, cashing in 5 straight, and 7 of the past 8 outings.

Las Vegas Aces at Chicago Sky odds, picks and predictions

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

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Las Vegas Aces (8-6) and Chicago Sky (6-9) meet Thursday at Wintrust Arena. Tip-off is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET (Prime Video). Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Aces vs. Sky odds, and make our expert WNBA picks and predictions.

Season series: First meeting; Aces went 5-0 vs. Sky last year — 3-0 in regular season and 2-0 in playoffs

The Aces picked up a pair of home wins prior to the Commissioner’s Cup title game break, building some confidence. Las Vegas topped the Seattle Storm 94-83 as a 6.5-point favorite as the Over (173) cashed June 19, before upending the Connecticut Sun 85-74 to cover as a 5-point favorite with the Under (165.5) hitting Friday.

Aces superstar C A’ja Wilson was good for 26 points and 16 rebounds in the win over the Sun. The South Carolina product leads the W in points (27.8) and rebounds (11.6) per game, while ranking 2nd in blocks (2.4) per game. She also averages 2.5 assists and 1.9 steals.

After a 1-4 straight-up (SU) skid, and 0-5 against the spread (ATS) drought, the Aces have won and covered back-to-back games for the first time since May 25-29.

The Sky nipped the Indiana Fever 88-87 Sunday in their most recent game. However, Chicago failed to cover as a 1.5-point home favorite with the Over (169.5) cashing. Rookie F Angel Reese scored a career-high 25 points to go along with 16 rebounds as the Sky rallied from a 15-point deficit late in the 3rd quarter. It was Reese’s 8th consecutive double-double, a WNBA rookie record. G Chennedy Carter chimed in with 23 points, 5 assists and 2 boards.

It was the 1st time since Chicago won back-to-back games since the 2nd and 3rd games of the season. But the Sky are just 1-5 ATS in the past 6 games, and 2-7 ATS across the previous 9.

Over/Under (O/U): 170.5 (O: -112 | U: -108)

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Aces at Sky picks and predictions

Prediction

Aces 94, Sky 85

Moneyline

Las Vegas (-590) will cost nearly 6 times the potential return, and that’s way too much risk for not nearly enough reward, either as a standalone bet or part of a multi-leg parlay.

Over the long term, betting such heavy favorites is a losing strategy, and therefore not recommended.

PASS.

Against the spread

Back CHICAGO +10 (-110) catching double digits at home, although know that it is likely going to be a close shave.

Las Vegas has looked more like itself lately, but it still is only coming off back-to-back wins and covers at home. On the road, the Aces are just 1-3 ATS in the past 4 tries. So, until they start ticking off covers on the road, fade them.

Also, as a double-digit favorite, Las Vegas is 1-4 ATS in 5 tries this season, while Chicago not only covered its only previous game as a double-digit underdog, but it also won outright 90-81 at the New York Liberty May 23.

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

Over/Under

OVER 170.5 (-112) might be the best play on the board.

The Aces offense managed 89.5 point per game (PPG) across their modest 2-game resurgence, and the Aces have scored 85 or more points in 5 of their past 6 outings. The Over is 4-2 in that 6-game span, too. In addition, Las Vegas has conceded 90 or more points in 4 of the past 6 games.

The Sky have cashed high on the total in 5 of the past 6 games, as the offense has also produced 80 or more points in 5 of the previous 6 outings. The defense is still rather giving, too, allowing 83 or more points in 5 of the previous 6 contests.

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.

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

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

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.

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

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 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.

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.

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.

Moneyline (ML): Lynx +235 (bet $100 to win $235) | Aces -300 (bet $300 to win $100)
Against the spread: Lynx +6.5 (-108) | Aces -6.5 (-112)
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.
