Las Vegas @ Washington Picks & Props

The Las Vegas Aces’ interior defense has given up the second-most points in the paint at 37.3. Kiki Iriafen does all of her damage down low, as she’s attempted a shot from beyond the arc in only one game this season. Iriafen is a capable interior scorer and one of the WNBA’s most productive rebounders. She gets a favorable matchup at home against a team playing its fifth straight road contest. I’ll happily take her combo prop at juicy, +290 odds.

Listed as questionable thanks to a wrist injury suffered on an ugly fall on Tuesday, A'ja Wilson's availability looms large. If she is indeed out, Jackie Young figures to take more shots. Only Wilson's 31.6% usage rate exceeds Young's 27.2% on the Las Vegas roster. More Young is not necessarily the most efficient offense for the Aces, but it is likely to be the default if Wilson is limited.

Officially, A'ja Wilson is listed as questionable for tonight's game after an ugly fall on her wrist on Tuesday. Logic doubts she plays, and even if she does, protecting that wrist will be only natural. That should set up Shakira Austin for a few extra open looks, not that she inherently needs them. Austin has cleared this prop in five of her last seven games, rewarding added playing time ever since late June.
