Golden State @ Las Vegas picks

Fresh off a historic 53-point blowout loss to the Lynx on Saturday, the Aces will surely be better on Sunday — but I’m not counting on them covering this head-scratchingly lofty spread. The Aces are just 11-17 ATS this season, and the team’s biggest struggle has been consistency. They’ve limped to a 14-14 record, and coming off a monstrous home loss on Saturday, they’ll be hard-pressed to flip the script in such drastic fashion on the second leg of a back-to-back set.

The Valkyries’ feel-good story continues, with Golden State in the thick of the playoff race in its first WNBA season, and the Veronica Burton props stand out again today. She served up 18 points to go with four rebounds and seven assists on Friday against the Chicago Sky, on the heels of a 10-7-10 stat line the night before in a victory over the Washington Mystics.
