It’s a potential playoff preview when the Atlanta Dream visit the Las Vegas Aces.
The Aces have had no trouble dispatching the Dream lately, winning seven straight against Atlanta while going 4-2-1 against the spread. They’re 3.5-point favorites Tuesday night.
Vegas is the best bounce-back bet leaguewide, so my Dream vs Aces predictions and WNBA picks will roll with the home team on Aug 18.
Dream vs Aces prediction
Dream vs Aces best bet: Aces -3.5 (-110)
The Las Vegas Aces have won five straight at home against the Atlanta Dream, including four double-digit victories, while the Dream have failed to score 72 points in each of their last five trips to Sin City.
Atlanta leads the WNBA in paint and fast-break scoring, but Vegas has held its own in both categories during each meeting this season. That includes a +6 in paint points and just -4 in fast-break scoring.
Both squads are coming off losses, but the Aces are a WNBA-best 8-3-0 against the spread after a defeat, compared with Atlanta’s 5-7-0 mark.
I’d back the Aces up to -4.5.
COVERS INTEL: Atlanta is one of the hottest teams in the WNBA, going 7-3-0 straight up, but the Dream have been far from the best bet against the spread, going 3-7-0 ATS over that same stretch.
Dream vs Aces same-game parlay
Angel Reese is coming off a 14-rebound effort in the loss to Indiana, and she’s gone eight straight games pulling down at least 10 rebounds.
Reese has posted double-digit boards in six of seven career games against Vegas, tallying at least 13 in four of her last five.
We must roll Jackie Young’s 1.5 3-pointers line into this SGP, because the Aces guard has crossed that mark in all nine games she's played since the All-Star break. That includes a 4-for-7 shooting night against Atlanta on Aug. 3 during a 109-87 romp.
