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.

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.

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).

Over/Under

Three of the 4 meetings this season went Under, including cashing an Under at this total Wednesday with minimal sweat at 157.

Take the UNDER 162.5 (-110).

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.

[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.

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.

Over/Under

BET OVER 166.5 (-105).

Seattle has hit the Over in 3 of its last 5 games and has scored 80 or more points in 4 of its last 5 and 6 of its last 8. Las Vegas has hit the Over in 4 of its last 6 games and has scored 80 or more points in 6 of its 7 games including 88 or more in 5 of its 7. With 3 players averaging 18.9 points per game or more for the Aces, expect an offensive battle on Friday.

Seattle Storm at Las Vegas Aces odds, picks and predictions

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

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Storm vs. Aces odds, and make our expert WNBA picks and predictions.

The Storm might be eliminated from postseason contention, but Seattle hasn’t stopped fighting. It is coming off a 72-61 win in Los Angeles as a 7-point underdogs last time out as the Under (159.5) cashed. The win snapped a 3-game losing streak, and the cover ended an 0-2-1 against the spread (ATS) slide. The Under was also the first in 5 games for Seattle.

Storms at Aces picks and predictions

Prediction

Aces 91, Storm 71

Moneyline

The Aces (-2000) will cost you a pretty penny, as a bettor would need to risk $100 for every $5 of profit with a Las Vegas victory. There is just no reason to ever bet such a heavy moneyline favorite. Even if you were to include Vegas in a multi-team parlay ticket, betting such a strong favorite sucks the value right out of your ticket.

PASS.

Against the spread

The ACES -16.5 (-115) are a strong play laying the points on their home floor.

The Storm +16.5 (-105) has been eliminated from the postseason chase. While Seattle was impressive last time out in L.A., that’s against a lowly Sparks team, and not the top team in the WNBA. Las Vegas will step on the gas in the 2nd half, grabbing the easy win and cover.

Over/Under

The UNDER 169.5 (-110) is the lean in this 4th meeting of the regular season.

While the Over is 4-1 in the past 5 games for the Storm, the Under is 5-1 in the past 6 games following a straight-up win, and 6-1 in the past 7 tries after a cover in the previous outing. The Under is also 4-1 in Seattle’s past 5 trips to The Strip.

For the Aces, while the Over has cashed in 6 of the past 8 tries against Western Conference teams, the total has gone low in 5 straight at home, while going 5-2 in the previous 7 when working on a day of rest.
