Las Vegas Aces at Chicago Sky odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’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 (17-11) and Chicago Sky (11-17) meet Sunday at Wintrust Arena. Tip-off is scheduled for noon ET (CBS). Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Aces vs. Sky odds, and make our expert WNBA picks and predictions.

Season series: Tied 1-1

The Aces are reeling after losing 2 straight to the Minnesota Lynx and 4 of 5 — including one to the Sky 93-85 in Chicago July 16. C A’ja Wilson returned from the Olympic break in quiet fashion with 15-9-6 (p/r/a) Wednesday and posted 24-7-3 Friday. G Kelsey Plum had just 11 points while hitting two 3-pointers Friday, and they need her secondary scoring.

The Sun nearly completed the upset over the Connecticut Sun Friday as they fell 82-80. F Angel Reese continues to be a beast in the middle with 13 points and 20 boards. She’s averaging 14.3 points and 16.5 boards in 4 games since returning from the Olympic break. The Sky upended the Aces 93-85 right before the All-Star break as G Chennedy Carter had 34 points

Aces at Sky picks and predictions

Prediction

Sky 87, Aces 85

Moneyline

I don’t like what I have seen from Vegas since the month-long break. They clearly aren’t on the same page, and Chicago may have taken advantage of that in the July 16 game before the All-Star break.

Let’s go big or go home and bet on the Sky to do the same thing — this time on their home court. Take the SKY +265.

Against the spread

Even if Chicago can’t put the nail in the coffin, I still like it catching 7.5 here. Vegas is just 2-8 ATS in its last 10. Chicago is 2-2 ATS since the break, but those 2 defeats were blowouts by the Phoenix Mercury.

Take the SKY +7.5 (-110).

Over/Under

The Sky are 5-5 O/U in their last 10 and 2-2 since the break. Vegas is 4-6 O/U in its last 10 and 1-3 since the break. The final scores of the earlier meetings were 93-85 and 95-83.

We’re going OVER 166.5 (-110).

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.

Against the spread: Aces -10 (-110) | Sky +10 (-110)

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.

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.

Las Vegas Aces at Chicago Sky odds, picks and predictions

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

The Las Vegas Aces (21-2) travel to meet the Chicago Sky (9-13) on Tuesday night at Wintrust Arena in Chicago. Tip-off is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET (ESPN). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Aces vs. Sky odds, and make our expert WNBA picks and predictions.

The Aces have rattled off 5 consecutive victories while going 4-1 against the spread (ATS) since an 80-78 loss on the road against the Dallas Wings on July 7. The Over has cashed in 4 of the past 5 games, too.

Las Vegas F Candace Parker had successful surgery Monday to repair a fractured left foot and has no timetable to return. She had been playing with the fracture all season but missed the past 5 outings. She was averaging 9.0 points, 5.4 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 1.5 steals per game this season.

The Sky picked up a 90-75 win on the road against the Seattle Storm Saturday, snapping a 4-game losing streak and non-cover streak.

Las Vegas has won 3 straight games head-to-head and has covered 4 of the past 6 meetings. The Over is 3-1 in the past 4 meetings in this series, too.

Aces at Sky picks and predictions

Prediction

Aces 94, Sky 82

Moneyline

The Aces (-2000) will cost you 20 times your potential. That means you must risk a C-note for a fiver. That’s a terrible bet, with way too much risk and not enough reward.

AVOID.

Against the spread

The SKY +14.5 (-110) are worth a partial-unit play. The Aces topped the Sky on June 11 at Michelob Ultra Arena at Mandalay Bay, winning 93-80. However, Chicago held on for the backdoor cover at most shops. This should be a rather decisive win for Vegas too, but look for Chicago to hang on for the cover at home.

Over/Under

OVER 168.5 (-110) is worth a look, even though Chicago has cashed the Under in 4 of the past 5 games overall. Las Vegas has racked up 97 or more points in 4 of the past 5 games, hitting the Over in each of those contests. The Aces are the most prolific offensive team in the WNBA, and they’ll roll up big points on the Sky.
