The Chicago Sky have covered the spread in six straight games, but they’ll face a stiff test on Saturday when the Las Vegas Aces visit Wintrust Arena looking to end that competitive streak.

My Aces vs. Sky predictions and WNBA picks shy away from the spread and lean into a high-scoring Aces victory headlined by another MVP-level performance from A'ja Wilson.

Read on to see why I’m backing Wilson to score and rebound with authority as Las Vegas wins on the road in the early primetime window on August 1.

Aces vs Sky prediction

Aces vs Sky best bet: A’ja Wilson Over 10.5 rebounds (-110)

A’ja Wilson ranks third in the WNBA in rebounding at 9.7 per game, and she’s got a phenomenal matchup on deck.

The Chicago Sky have allowed the most total rebounds (37.3) and second-most offensive rebounds (9.9). Wilson pulled down 15 boards at Chicago earlier this season, and she’s averaged 10 across her last four matchups with the Sky.

Chicago’s 66.5 defensive rebound percentage ranks 12th in the W, and Wilson will grab 11+ boards for the 11th time this season.

I’ll happily take this one up to 12.5.

Covers COVERS INTEL: Rebound opportunities will be plentiful on Saturday afternoon as the Sky and Aces each rank in the Top 6 in most opponent FGA. The Sky have forced the second-most missed FG (39.7), and the Aces have forced the fifth-most (39.1).

Aces vs Sky same-game parlay

The Las Vegas Aces have the more talented and experienced roster, but Chicago’s streak of six straight covers shouldn’t be ignored, as they played tough against the New York Liberty, Dallas Wings and Atlanta Dream in that span.

I prefer taking Vegas as the outright winner rather than spotting them seven points on the road.

The Sky have hit the Over in 19 of 28 games, doing so at the highest percentage in the league. Chicago is 8-2 to the Over across its last 10, and LV is 7-3. In two matchups this season, they’ve averaged 197 points. Play to 189.5.

Aces vs Sky player prop pick

A’ja Wilson Over 27.5 points (-115)

Wilson leads the league in scoring, and she’s averaging a whopping 27.8 points per game on the road. The superstar has scored 28+ in seven of 14 road contests, and she’s reached that mark in 12 games overall.

Wilson finished with 30+ points in two of her last three against the Sky, including a 30-point, 15-rebound masterclass this season. Chicago’s defense has allowed the fifth-most points, and they rank 10th in defensive rating at home.

Play up to 29.5.
