Las Vegas Aces at Phoenix Mercury odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’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 (19-12) and Phoenix Mercury (16-16) meet Sunday at Footprint Center in Phoenix. Tip-off is scheduled for 3 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Aces vs. Mercury odds, and make our expert WNBA picks and predictions.

Season series: Aces lead 2-1

The Aces rebounded from a 93-90 loss in Dallas to upend the visiting Atlanta Dream 83-72 on Friday as a 10.5-point favorite. The cover snapped an 0-9 against the spread (ATS) skid. The Under (164.5) cashed Friday, and the total has gone low at a 8-3 run across the past 11 outings.

The Mercury have dropped back-to-back games while going 0-3-1 ATS in the past 4 outings, while the Under is 3-1-1 in the previous 5 contests.

Phoenix suffered a 103-99 loss at home on June 13 in the most recent meeting, but the Mercury did hang on for a cover as a 6-point underdog as the Over (170.5) easily connected. Phoenix is 3-0 ATS in the 3 meetings with Las Vegas this season.

Over/Under (O/U): 169 (O: -110 | U: -110)

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Aces at Mercury picks and predictions

Prediction

Mercury 85, Aces 81

Moneyline

Playing PHOENIX (+164) as moderate underdogs is a strong play. The Mercury have played the Aces (-205) tough all season. The way Las Vegas has been playing lately, there is no way you can trust it laying more than 2 times your potential return.

Against the spread

If you’re a little less adventurous, play PHOENIX +4.5 (-114) catching the points. It gives you a little leg room in the event of a Las Vegas -4.5 (-106) win by 4 or fewer points.

After all, the Aces are still just 1-9 ATS in the past 10 games, despite Friday’s cover against Atlanta. And Las Vegas is 0-3 ATS in 3 tries against Phoenix this season.

Over/Under

UNDER 169 (-110) is the lean, but go with a half-unit play here.

The Under is 3-1 in the past 4 games for the Aces, while going 8-3 across the previous 11 outings.

For the Mercury, the Under has hit at a 3-1-1 clip in the past 5 outings, while cashing at a 5-2 pace in the past 7 contests at Footprint Center.

Indiana Fever at Dallas Wings odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Indiana Fever at Dallas Wings odds and lines, with WNBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Indiana Fever (16-16) and Dallas Wings (9-22) meet Sunday at College Park Center in Arlington, Texas. Tip-off is scheduled for 4 p.m. ET (NBA TV). Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Fever vs. Wings odds, and make our expert WNBA picks and predictions.

Season series: Wings lead 1-0

The Wings picked up a 101-93 win at home on July 17 in the 1st and only meeting, covering as a 4-point underdog as the Over (178) connected. Dallas has won 7 of the previous 9 contests, while Indiana holds a 4-2 against the spread (ATS) edge in the past 6 meetings.

Indiana has won and covered 3 games in a row to get back to .500. It is trying to go over .500 for the 1st time this season. Indiana is also 7-2 SU and ATS in the past 9 outings since July 12. The Over has a slight 6-4 edge in the past 10 contests.

The Fever posted a 100-91 win over the rival Chicago Sky on the road Friday. G Caitlin Clark was good for 31 points, 12 assists and 4 rebounds with 5 3-pointers in the win.

The Wings surprised the visiting Minnesota Lynx on Friday, winning 94-76 as a 7.5-point underdog as the Under (170.5) connected. Dallas has won a season-high 3 straight games, while going 3-1 ATS in the past 4 games The Under has a slight 3-2 edge in the past 5 contests.

Over/Under (O/U): 182.5 (O: -110 | U: -110)

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Fever at Wings picks and predictions

Prediction

Fever 98, Wings 91

Moneyline

If you’re a little on the conservative side, play INDIANA (-168) straight up, especially if you do not want to fiddle around with the points while backing the road team.

After a rough start to the season, the Fever have won 3 in a row, and 5 of the past 6, easily playing their best basketball of the season.

Against the spread

Back INDIANA -3.5 (-108) if you’re a more traditional bettor. It’s just 2 buckets, and the Fever are playing tremendous lately. The Fever have covered 3 in a row, while going 5-1 ATS in the past 6 contests.

Be careful, though, as the Fever suffered a 101-93 loss in Dallas on July 17 in the final game prior to the Olympic break.

Over/Under

OVER 182.5 (-110) is a strong play, as Indiana has scored 80 or more points in 10 straight outings, including 93 points in Dallas in the 1st meeting.

The Wings, on the other hand, rank last in the WNBA with 90.4 points per game allowed and a 47.2% defensive field-goal percentage. The Over is 12-5 in the past 17 outings for the Wings.

Go high, and feel confidently in doing so.

Chicago Sky at Minnesota Lynx odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Chicago Sky at Minnesota Lynx odds and lines, with WNBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Chicago Sky (11-20) and Minnesota Lynx (23-9) meet Sunday at Target Center in Minneapolis. Tip-off is scheduled for 3 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Sky vs. Lynx odds, and make our expert WNBA picks and predictions.

Season series: Lynx lead 1-0

These teams met in Chicago earlier this season on June 30, and Minnesota picked up a 70-62 win while narrowly covering as 7-point favorites as the Under (163) connected.

Chicago suffered a 100-81 loss against the Indiana Fever at home on Friday, coming nowhere near covering as a 6.5-point underdog as the Over (163.5) cashed.

In the losing effort, rookie F Angel Reese had 10 points with 11 rebounds, staying in until the final moments of a blowout to secure the double-double. As such, with the 23rd double-double of the season, she passed Tina Charles for the most double-doubles for a rookie in a single season. In addition, she also passed Charles for the rookie record of rebounds in a single season.

The Sky have dropped 5 straight games, while going 2-8 across the past 10 outings. Chicago is just 4-6 against the spread (ATS) in that 10-game span.

The Lynx was blown out in Dallas on Friday, falling 94-76 as a 7.5-point favorite as the Under (170.5) cashed. That snapped a 7-game win streak, and a 6-game cover run. The Over is 4-2 across the previous 6 outings.

Against the spread: Sky +11.5 (-106) | Lynx -11.5 (-114)
Over/Under (O/U): 157.5 (O: -110 | U: -110)

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Sky at Lynx picks and predictions

Prediction

Lynx 86, Sky 69

Moneyline

Backing Minnesota (-800) straight, or as part of a multi-leg parlay, is not a recommended betting strategy. As a standalone wager, you must risk 8 times your potential return, and that’s just not terribly smart.

AVOID.

Against the spread

Take MINNESOTA -11.5 (-114) laying the points, as it has been money against the spread lately.

The Lynx failed to cover in the loss in the Metroplex on Friday, but Minnesota is 6-1 ATS across the past 7 outings since emerging from the Olympic break.

For Chicago +11.5 (-106), it has failed to cover the past 2 outings, while going just 5-7 ATS in the previous 12 outings. As a double-digit underdog, though, Chicago has covered 3 straight, while going 4-1 ATS this season, so be careful.

Over/Under

UNDER 157.5 (-110) is worth a look, but it could be a close shave.

The Under cashed in the 1st meeting back on June 30, as the teams combined for just 132 points with a total of 163.

Minnesota has cashed low on the total in 6 of the past 8 home games. For Chicago, the Under has a 3-2 edge in the past 5 contests.

The Indiana Fever (15-16) visit the Chicago Sky (11-19) on Friday. Tip from Wintrust Arena is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET (ION). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Fever vs. Sky odds, and make our expert WNBA picks and predictions.

Season series: Fever lead 2-1

The Fever have won back-to-back games after taking down the Connecticut Sun 84-80 on Wednesday and covering as 4-point home underdogs. G Kelsey Mitchell scored a game-high 23 points while G Caitlin Clark added 19 as all 5 Indiana starters scored in double figures.

The Sky have lost 4 games in a row after falling 74-70 against the Washington Mystics on Wednesday and failing to cover as 2.5-point home underdogs. F Michaela Onyenwere scored a team-high 15 points while C Kamilla Cardoso had a double-double (10 points, 11 rebounds) and F Angel Reese grabbed 14 rebounds.

Fever at Sky picks and predictions

Prediction

Fever 85, Sky 77

Moneyline

PASS.

There is no value on the Fever (-250), who are 7-3 in their last 10, to take down the Sky (+200), who are 3-7 in their last 10.

Against the spread

BET FEVER -5.5 (-110).

Not only have the Fever gone 7-3 overall in their last 10 games, but they have also gone 7-3 ATS in that span. They have covered the spread in 4 of their last 5 games, 2 of their last 4 games on the road, and 3 of their last 4 games when playing as favorites. Chicago has failed to cover in 3 of its last 4 games at home.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 166.5 (-110).

Both the Fever and Sky have hit the Under in 3 of their last 4 games including each of their last 2. Indiana has held opponents to 80 or fewer points in 3 of its last 4 while Chicago has scored 80 or fewer points in each of its last 4 and 8 of its last 10.

Atlanta Dream at Las Vegas Aces odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Friday’s Atlanta Dream at Las Vegas Aces odds and lines, with WNBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Atlanta Dream (10-20) and Las Vegas Aces (18-12) meet Friday at Michelob Ultra Arena at Mandalay Bay Hotel and Casino. Tip-off is scheduled for 10 p.m. ET (ION). Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Dream vs. Aces odds, and make our expert WNBA picks and predictions.

Season series: Tied 1-1

After a 3-game win streak coming out of the Olympics break, the Dream has dropped 3 consecutive games, including the road trip opener in Seattle on Wednesday. However, the Dream did cover the 8.5-point spread as underdogs in the 85-81 loss to the Storm as the Over (156.5) cashed.

Atlanta has found plenty of success on the road lately, going 6-1-1 against the spread (ATS) in the past 8 away from home, while the Over-Under has split 4-4 in those outings.

The Aces have also had some difficulties lately, winning just once in the past 4 outings. Vegas lost 93-90 in Dallas on Tuesday night despite the fact A’ja Wilson dropped 42 points on 16-of-22 shooting. She also had 6 boards, 3 blocked shots and 2 assists with a steal in 37 minutes.

Las Vegas is just 2-5 straight up (SU) in the past 7 games, and it has failed to cover in each of the previous 9 outings.

These teams last met July 12 in the Atlanta, with the Aces coming away with an 84-70 win, but the Dream held on for the cover as 14.5-point underdogs at most shops. The Under (169.5) cashed in that one, as well as the 1st meeting in Atlanta on May 31. Atlanta won 78-74 as an 8-point ‘dog in that one.

Against the spread: Dream +10.5 (-112) | Aces -10.5 (-108)
Over/Under (O/U): 165.5 (O: -110 | U: -110)

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Dream at Aces picks and predictions

Prediction

Aces 83, Dream 76

Moneyline

Playing Las Vegas (-700), and risking 7 times your potential return, is a very risky proposition. First off, the Aces haven’t been playing very good basketball, and second, it’s never a good idea to risk so much for such a small return.

Even as part of a multi-leg parlay, backing the Aces sucks all of the value out of your ticket.

AVOID.

Against the spread

Take ATLANTA +10.5 (-112) catching more than 5 buckets in Friday’s battle.

The Dream have been red-hot on the road, at least against the number, going 6-1-1 ATS in the past 8 games away from home. Meanwhile, the Aces -10.5 (-108) have failed to cover in 9 consecutive games. While, yes, Las Vegas is due, it hasn’t shown any signs of snapping out of its funk lately.

Over/Under

UNDER 165.5 (-110) is a solid play, as long as Wilson doesn’t go off for a 2nd straight game.

Even with Wilson’s amazing stat line, the Over (181) just barely connected in the 93-90 loss in Dallas, and the Wings are substantially worse than the Dream defensively. The Under is still 7-3 across the past 10 games for the Aces, too, including the most recent matchup with the Dream on July 12.

For the Dream, the Under is on a 3-1-1 run in the past 5 games, while going 7-3-1 in the previous 11 outings.

Washington Mystics at Chicago Sky odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s Washington Mystics at Chicago Sky odds and lines, with WNBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Washington Mystics (8-22) and Chicago Sky (11-18) meet Wednesday at Wintrust Arena. Tip-off is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET (NBA TV). Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Mystics vs. Sky odds, and make our expert WNBA picks and predictions.

Season series: Tied 1-1

The Mystics have won their past 2 games, while covering in 3 in a row. Washington is looking for a season-high 3rd consecutive victory. The Under has cashed in the past 3 outings, too.

Although the Sky have dropped 3 in a row, Chicago is a solid 3-1 against the spread (ATS) in the past 4 outings. The Under and Over have alternated in each of the past 9 games dating back to July 10.

Chicago rookie Angel Reese has been unreal lately, posting 20 or more rebounds in 3 consecutive outings. She is the 1st player in WNBA history to record 20 or more rebounds in 3 straight games. She had a career-best 22 boards against Las Vegas last time out, and she is averaging a ridiculous 14.3 points, 20.7 rebounds and 1.3 blocked shots per game in the past 3 outings.

This is the 1st meeting in Chicago. The Sky won the 1st meeting in D.C. on June 6, a 79-71 win as a 3-point favorite, while cashing the Under (156). In the 2nd meeting, Washington edged Chicago 83-81 as a 2.5-point underdog as the Over (158.5) connected.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Mystics at Sky picks and predictions

Prediction

Mystics 80, Sky 75

Moneyline

While Chicago (+118) has been the better team this season, WASHINGTON (-144) is red-hot lately, and searching for its 3rd consecutive victory.

The Mystics are catching the Sky at the right time, as Chicago has dropped 3 in a row despite the fact Reese has been piling up the rebounds lately. In fact, the Sky have won just twice in the 8 outings since July 11. Back the visitors.

Against the spread

If you’re a little more adventurous, forget about the moneyline and take WASHINGTON -2.5 (-108) on the road.

The Mystics have won 5 of the past 6 meetings, too, while going 4-1 ATS in the past 5 in the series. Washington has covered 3 in a row since Aug. 18, and it is 15-5 ATS in the past 20 games.

On the flip side, while the Sky is 3-1 ATS in the past 4 contests, they’re just 2-5 ATS in the past 7 games at home.

Over/Under

UNDER 158.5 (-110) is worth a look, but go lightly.

The Under has hit in 5 of the past 6 meetings, although the Over hit in the most recent battle on June 14.

The total has gone low in 3 straight for the Mystics, while going 5-2 across the previous 7 games.

Connecticut Sun at Indiana Fever odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s Connecticut Sun at Indiana Fever odds and lines, with WNBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Connecticut Sun (22-7) and Indiana Fever (14-16) meet Wednesday at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. Tip-off is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET (NBA TV). Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Sun vs. Fever odds, and make our expert WNBA picks and predictions.

Season series: Sun lead 3-0

The Sun have 3 victories in 3 meetings with Caitlin Clark and the Fever this season, including the regular-season opener back on May 14. Connecticut has won 11 straight meetings since July 3, 2021, and the Sun is 4-1 against the spread (ATS) in the past 5 in the series, while going 7-3 ATS in the past 10.

Connecticut has won 3 games in a row, including a 72-64 victory at New York last time out on Saturday as a 7.5-point underdog as the Under (158.5) cashed. The cover snapped an 0-3 ATS skid, while the Under is 3-1 in the past 4 outings.

Indiana topped Atlanta 84-79 on Monday as a 1.5-point underdog as the Under (167) connected. The Fever are 3-1 SU and ATS in the past 4 outings, and they’re 5-2 ATS in the previous 7 contests.

The rookie Clark is averaging 15.7 points, 3.4 assists, 1.0 rebounds, 1.0 steals with 9 total 3-pointers in the 3 meetings with Connecticut this season.

Over/Under (O/U): 164.5 (O: -108 | U: -112)

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Sun at Fever picks and predictions

Prediction

Sun 88, Fever 79

Moneyline

If you’re on the conservative side, CONNECTICUT (-172) isn’t a terrible play. The Sun have won 11 straight meetings in this series, and it hasn’t been fazed facing the rookie Clark.

Be careful, though, as the Sun won 88-84 in a close game in the only previous meeting in Indianapolis this season.

Against the spread

Back CONNECTICUT -3.5 (-108) laying the points if you’re a little more adventurous. The Sun have covered 4 of the past 5 meetings, including 2 of 3 games this season.

Be careful, though, as the Sun did win by only 4 points in the 1st meeting in Indy, with the Fever +3.5 (-112) covering as a 5.5-point underdog on May 20.

Over/Under

OVER 164.5 (-108) is a strong play in the 4th installment of this series this season.

Connecticut has scored 88 or more points in each of the first 3 battles, while the Over has cashed in each of the past 2 meetings.

While the Sun have cashed low on the total in 3 of the past 4 outings, the Over has a 4-3 edge in the past 7 games.

For the Fever, the Over has hit at a 5-3 pace in the past 8 outings, while going 3-1 in the past 4 games at Gainbridge.

Las Vegas Aces at Dallas Wings odds, picks and predictions

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

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Las Vegas Aces (18-11) and Dallas Wings (7-22) meet Tuesday at College Park Center. 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: Aces lead 2-0

The Aces ripped off a 104-85 win in the most recent meeting between these teams July 7, covering as 15.5-point favorites at the Michelob Ultra Arena as the Over (179) cashed. In a June 5 meeting in Arlington, the Aces won 95-81 as 9-point favorites as the Over (167.5) hit.

Las Vegas has been struggling, dropping 4 of 5 games prior to Sunday’s 77-75 win in Chicago. Despite the victory, the Aces failed to cover for the 8th consecutive outing. The Under has cashed in 4 of the past 5 contests and 7 of the previous 9 games.

The Wings outlasted the Los Angeles Sparks 113-110 last time out on Sunday in a wild game as the Over (172) cashed. Despite the win, Dallas failed to cover as a 7-point favorite. The Wings are a respectable 2-3 straight up and against the spread (ATS) in the previous 5 outings.

For Dallas, the Over is 7-3 in the past 10 games while cashing at an 11-4 clip in the previous 15 contests.

Against the spread: Aces -8.5 (-108) | Wings +8.5 (-112)
Over/Under (O/U): 178 (O: -110 | U: -110)

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Aces at Wings picks and predictions

Prediction

Aces 94, Wings 75

Moneyline

Las Vegas (-420) will cost you more than 4 times your potential return, and that’s a little bit too expensive with the way the Aces have been playing lately. Remember, the Aces have won just twice in the past 6 games, although they have swept Dallas (+310) this season. In fact, the margin of victory in the 2 previous meetings has seen Las Vegas win by an average of 16.5 points per game.

PASS.

Against the spread

It will take a bit of a leap of faith, but playing the ACES -8.5 (-108) laying the points is the way to go. While Las Vegas is 0-8 ATS in the past 8 outings, it has cashed in both previous meetings with Dallas. The Wings just have zero defense, and the Aces should have their way in the 3rd installment of this season series.

Over/Under

UNDER 178 (-110) might be the best play on the board.

The Under has cashed in 4 of the past 5 outings for the Aces while going 7-2 in the previous 9 contests.

For the Wings, the O/U has split 3-3 in the past 6 outings. While the Over has hit in each of the 1st 2 meetings and Dallas has allowed triple digits 5 times in the past 10 games, including July 7 in Las Vegas, the offense should struggle, getting this one to come in just under the total.

Indiana Fever at Atlanta Dream odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Monday’s Indiana Fever at Atlanta Dream odds and lines, with WNBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Indiana Fever (13-16) and Atlanta Dream (10-18) meet Monday at State Farm Arena. Tip-off is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET (NBA TV). Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Fever vs. Dream odds, and make our expert WNBA picks and predictions.

Season series: Fever lead 2-0

The Fever lost 90-80 at Minnesota Saturday as 5-point underdogs as the Over (168.5) connected just barely. Despite the non-cover, Indiana is still a respectable 4-2 against the spread (ATS) in the past 6 games, while the Over is on a 5-2 roll in the previous 7 outings.

The Dream split a pair of games with the visiting Phoenix Mercury in a back-to-back Wednesday and Friday, and Atlanta is a healthy 5-0-2 ATS in the past 7 games and 7-1-2 ATS across the previous 10 outings. The Under is 2-0-1 in the past 3 contests while going 6-2-1 in the past 9 games.

These teams last met June 21 in Atlanta, with G Caitlin Clark and Indiana coming away with a 91-79 win as 3-point favorites as the Over (163.5) easily came through. Clark went for 16 points, including four 3-pointers, while adding 7 assists. F NaLyssa Smith led the charge with 21 points and 9 boards on an efficient 10-of-17 shooting, while F Aliyah Boston had a double-double with 10 points and 10 rebounds to go along with 3 blocked shots.

Fever at Dream picks and predictions

Prediction

Fever 83, Dream 80

Moneyline

INDIANA (-154) is a solid play in this road battle in the ATL.

The Fever have won each of the previous meetings this season, including the earlier battle in Atlanta June 21 by 12 points. The Fever have won and covered 3 in a row in this series, too.

Atlanta (+126) is just 4-12 across the past 16 games, and it has to prove it can get over the hump against Clark and the Fever before bettors can trust the Dream won’t be a nightmare.

Against the spread

The Fever were 1.5-point underdogs Sunday morning, and the line shifting all the way to Indiana becoming 3-point favorites may be too aggressive of a move.

If you like Indiana, the ML is the safer play and still available at a decent price.

PASS.

Over/Under

UNDER 166.5 (-110) is the lean, but go with a half-unit play at most.

The Under has dominated for Atlanta lately, cashing at a 6-2-1 clip in the past 9 games, including 3-1-1 in the previous 5 home outings. There is risk, though, as the Over has connected in each of the previous 2 meetings this season with Indiana.

For the Fever, while the Over has dominated this season going 19-10 overall, the Under has a slight 6-5 edge across the past 11 games dating back to June 27. And, the Under is 4-2 in the past 6 outings on the road.

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

Moneyline (ML): Aces -350 (bet $350 to win $100) | Sky +265 (bet $100 to win $265)
Against the spread: Aces -7.5 (-110) | Sky +7.5 (-110)
Over/Under (O/U): 166.5 (O: -110 | U: -110)

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).
