Seattle vs Las Vegas – WNBA Game Preview, Prediction and Player Props
Spread: Las Vegas -1.0 | Total: 163.0
Seattle Storm Betting Breakdown
The Storm have been in a bit of a swirl lately, dropping three straight by a total of just 10 points. Despite playing competitive ball, they just can’t close out tight games. But Seattle made a splash this week, trading for All-Star guard Brittney Sykes, a high-energy two-way weapon who averages 15.4 PPG and brings elite defense to the backcourt.
Their most recent loss, a 91–87 heartbreaker to Minnesota, showed both their offensive potential and their inability to stop late-game runs. Nneka Ogwumike continues to lead with veteran poise, dropping 23 points and stuffing the stat sheet, while Erica Wheeler chipped in with 19 and a clutch late-game triple.
Seattle is 2-1 against Vegas this season, but those wins came before the Aces started turning the corner.
Storm Player Prop Pick: Nneka Ogwumike Over 17.5 Points – She’s been Seattle’s most reliable scorer in big games and will need to carry the load again.
Las Vegas Aces Betting Breakdown
After a rocky start to the season, the Aces are back to playing like contenders. Winners in 7 of their last 10, Vegas just edged out Golden State 78–72 in a gritty, grind-it-out game. A’ja Wilson continues to look like the league’s most unguardable force, putting up 27 points while going a perfect 11-for-11 from the line. She’s second in the league in both scoring and rebounding.
Jackie Young and Jewell Loyd added 14 points each, and defensively, the Aces were locked in, holding the opponent to under 40% shooting and just four made threes.
Las Vegas has found its groove, with sharper execution, tighter rotations, and more consistent defensive pressure. With playoff seeding on the line, expect an intense performance at home.
Aces Player Prop Pick: A’ja Wilson Over 9.5 Rebounds – She’s been cleaning the glass and will need to do it again against Seattle’s physical frontcourt.
WNBA Expert Prediction
Seattle may have the head-to-head edge, but Las Vegas has been playing cleaner, tougher, and smarter ball over the past few weeks. With Wilson anchoring both ends and the Storm still figuring out rotations post-trade, Vegas has the edge, barely. Lean under, both teams have leaned defense-first lately, and the pace may tighten with playoff stakes rising.
Best Bet: Las Vegas -1.0
Toral: Under 163.0
Final Score Prediction: Las Vegas 81, Seattle 78
