The Aces have bounced back with 3 straight wins and covers after an outright loss on the road against the Dallas Wings on July 7. The Over has also cashed in all 3 games, with Vegas going for 97 or more points in each of the outings.

The Aces are ranked No. 1 in points per game (94.0), field-goal percentage (50.5%) and points allowed per game (78.6).

The Storm have dropped the past 7 games while going 2-5 against the spread (ATS) during the span. The Under and Over has alternated in each of the past 6 outings for Seattle.

Seattle ranks dead-last in points allowed per game (86.4), defensive field-goal percentage (47.1%) and defensive 3-point percentage (38.1%), and it also ranks last in offensive field-goal percentage (39.7%).

These teams met May 20 in Seattle for the season opener, with the Aces pounding the Storm 105-65 to easily cover a 13.5-point spread as the Over (167.5) connected. Vegas also dusted Seattle 96-63 at Mandalay Bay on June 15 while covering an 18-point number as the Under (168.5) cashed.

Aces at Storm picks and predictions

Prediction

Aces 97, Storm 76

Moneyline

The Aces (-3333) will cost you more than 33 times your potential return, which is obviously a foolish bet. No one could need $3 that badly that you would be willing to risk $100.

PASS.

Against the spread

The ACES -17.5 (-110) heads to the Pacific Northwest Thursday and should smash the Storm for the 3rd time this season.

Vegas has now only won and covered both of the previous meetings, winning by an average of 37.0 points per game. The Aces have won 5 straight in the series while covering each of the past 4 outings and have won and covered the past 4 trips to the Emerald City.

Over/Under

OVER 170.5 (-110) is the lean.

The Under cashed in the most recent meeting on The Strip in mid-June, although the Over did connect in the season opener in the Pacific Northwest back in May.

The Over has hit in each of the past 4 meetings in Seattle, while the Storm has cashed the Over in 12 of the past 17 home games. The Over is also 5-1 in the past 6 road outings for the Aces.

Dallas Wings at New York Liberty odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s Dallas Wings at New York Liberty odds and lines, with WNBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Dallas Wings (11-9) travel to meet the New York Liberty (14-4) on Wednesday at Barclays Center in Brooklyn. Tip-off is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET (NBATV). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Wings vs. Liberty odds, and make our expert WNBA picks and predictions.

The Wings soar into NYC with a 3-game win streak, and Dallas is coming off a 107-67 victory in Minnesota last Wednesday. It covered the 2.5-point spread, and the Wings improved to 5-1 straight up (SU) and against the spread (ATS). The Under has cashed in 5 of the last 6 games for the Wings, too.

The Liberty has racked up 4 straight victories, although New York has failed to cover the last 3 outings. That includes a 95-87 overtime win in Indiana last Wednesday as the Over (169.5) cashed. The Over is 6-2 across the last 8 outings for the Liberty.

These teams met June 11 in Brooklyn, with the Liberty coming away with a 102-93 victory to cover an 8.5-point spread as the Over (170.5) connected.

Wings at Liberty picks and predictions

Prediction

Liberty 87, Wings 78

Moneyline

The Liberty (-375) will cost you nearly 4 times your potential return, and there is no value betting favorites so high.

On the flip side, while the Wings (+300) are playing well lately, they could be without C Kalani Brown, as she continues to recover from a concussion. Her absence would be big, as the Wings need all hands on deck defensively to contain the high-octane Lib.

PASS.

Against the spread

The LIBERTY -8.5 (-105) are worth playing lightly. Yes, New York has failed to cover the last 3 games, but it did win and cover (barely) against the Wings +8.5 (-115) in the 1st meeting on June 11.

The Wings have fared well against the number lately, but they have struggled mightily against the Liberty over the years. Dallas is just 1-4 ATS in the past 5 trips to NYC, and 2-6 ATS in the past 8 meetings overall.

We should see another game where the cover comes down to the final seconds. Go lightly.
