Las Vegas vs Golden State – WNBA Game Preview, Prediction and Player Props
Spread: Las Vegas -5.5 | Total: 158.5
Las Vegas Aces Betting Breakdown
The Las Vegas Aces roll into San Francisco for a crucial Western Conference showdown after dismantling the Valkyries 101-77 on Sunday. Behind a scorching performance from Jewell Loyd, who lit it up for 27 points (7-of-11 from three), the Aces reminded the league why they’re a contender. Jackie Young added 20 points and 8 dimes, while A’ja Wilson posted a 14-point, 14-board double-double without breaking a sweat.
Vegas has now won three of its last four and six of its past nine, looking locked in as the regular season heats up. Expect the Aces to try to dictate pace again, especially after holding Golden State to 34.2% shooting last time out. Their perimeter defense was locked in, forcing the Valkyries into a miserable 10-of-34 night from deep.
Player Prop to Watch: Jewell Loyd Over 2.5 Made Threes – She’s shooting with swagger, and Golden State’s wing defense has struggled lately. The volume will be there.
Golden State Valkyries Betting Breakdown
The Valkyries come home after a 3-2 road trip that ended in a Vegas beatdown, but they return with renewed energy and playoff urgency. Sitting just behind the Aces in the standings, a win Wednesday would flip the script and give Golden State the edge in the playoff race.
Injuries have been a hurdle, with Kayla Thornton out for the season, and both Tiffany Hayes and Cecilia Zandalasini missing the last game. Their return could spark a much-needed offensive revival. Despite the tough loss, Iliana Rupert emerged as a bright spot, racking up a season-best 17 points and 8 rebounds.
Player Prop to Watch: Iliana Rupert Over 12.5 Points – She’s settling in fast and might feast again if Vegas keys in on the Valkyries’ usual perimeter threats.
Prediction & Betting Angle
The Aces are 5.5-point road favorites, and with their recent form and playoff seeding on the line, that number feels justified. Golden State should look sharper at home, especially if their key players return. But with Loyd and Wilson clicking, Vegas holds the edge.
Best Bet: Las Vegas -5.5
Toral: Under 158.5
Final Score Prediction: Las Vegas 81, Golden State 74
