Las Vegas @ Phoenix Picks & Props

I’m expecting another monster effort from A'ja Wilson on the glass tonight against the Phoenix Mercury. A’ja has tallied 12+ rebounds in four of her last five outings, and it’s no coincidence that the Las Vegas Aces have piled up wins in that span, raising optimism about a postseason run.

The Phoenix Mercury have watched their fast start cool a little bit over the past month, going 4-6 over its last 10 games. The Mercury are still among the best defensive teams in the WNBA, but are going to have trouble containing A'ja Wilson who is averaging 22.0 points and 9.8 rebounds per game. It’s tempting to take the Las Vegas Aces to win outright, but with Las Vegas on the road, I’m playing it safer tonight. Let’s back the Aces with the points in Phoenix.
