Las Vegas Aces Betting Breakdown
The defending champs are starting to look like themselves again, riding a six-game win streak and sitting at 20-14 overall. Las Vegas has won 11 of its last 14 and continues to push for that coveted No. 2 seed in the WNBA playoff bracket.
A’ja Wilson has been on a tear, fueling the run with dominant MVP-caliber performances, including a 30-point, 16-rebound showcase in Friday’s nail-biter against Phoenix. What’s most impressive isn’t just the offense but the defensive grit the Aces have rediscovered, holding on late in tight games they might have lost earlier in the season.
Becky Hammon’s squad has also handled Dallas well, already taking all three matchups this year and looking to complete the season sweep. With momentum and home-court advantage, Las Vegas is in prime position to keep rolling.
Dallas Wings Betting Breakdown
On the flip side, Dallas (9-25) continues to spiral. They’ve dropped six of their last seven, with the most painful being Friday’s 97-96 loss to the Sparks. Despite clawing back from a 13-point deficit in the final minutes, they came up just short at the buzzer.
Paige Bueckers has been the lone bright spot in an otherwise lost season. The Rookie of the Year frontrunner dropped 29 points in that loss, showing why she’s one of the league’s rising stars. Still, her efforts haven’t been enough to overcome Dallas’ inconsistent defense and turnover issues.
The Wings fight hard, but moral victories don’t count against a powerhouse like Las Vegas. Without a full 40-minute effort, they’re in danger of being run off the floor.
WNBA Prediction & Betting Angle
Las Vegas has found its rhythm, while Dallas continues to sputter despite Bueckers’ brilliance. The Aces’ depth and defensive edge should overwhelm the Wings once again.
Score Prediction: Las Vegas 89, Dallas 76
