For a second straight Saturday, WNBA fans will be treated to a classic rivalry as A’ja Wilson and the Las Vegas Aces host Napheesa Collier and the Minnesota Lynx.
Collier got the best of Wilson last weekend in Minnesota, but Wilson and her red-hot teammate Jackie Young will look to avenge that loss in Las Vegas.
Read on in my free Lynx vs. Aces predictions and WNBA picks to see why Young and Wilson will guide the Aces to victory as underdogs on Saturday, Aug. 15.
Lynx vs Aces prediction
Lynx vs Aces best bet: Jackie Young Over 29.5 points + rebounds + assists (-121)
Jackie Young has been on fire over her last 10 games, averaging 25 points, five rebounds and 6.8 assists, good for 36.8 PRA. She recorded 30+ PRA nine times in that span.
The Minnesota Lynx’s interior defense is among the best in the league at suffocating opposing bigs, but Minnesota has been vulnerable to opposing guards, especially on the perimeter.
Young has hit the Over in four straight at home, averaging 27.8 points and 3.5 triples on 48.3% shooting from beyond the arc, nearly reaching this PRA total in scoring alone.
Play to 34.5.
COVERS INTEL: The Lynx have surrendered the sixth-most points, third-most 3PM, fifth-most assists and fifth-most rebounds to opposing guards this season. Minnesota has routinely bottled up A’ja Wilson in recent matchups, and Young’s success will be a key factor in Las Vegas’ win.
Lynx vs Aces same-game parlay
A’ja Wilson’s scoring line is set at 25.5, but she’s reached that mark in only three of her last eight head-to-head matchups with Napheesa Collier. Instead of taking that prop, I like Wilson to double-double - something she’s done 17 times this season, including nine of 14 at home.
This is the first time the Las Vegas Aces will be the home dog this season, and given the opponent, Wilson and Co. will take this one personally. The Aces are 7-3 ATS across their last 10 home games, but the spread is just 1.5 points, making the ML a more profitable wager.

Lynx vs Aces player prop pick
Napheesa Collier Over 29.5 points + rebounds + assists (-125)
Collier has averaged 29.7 PRA across three road games this season, hitting the Over in two of them and posting 30+ in four of eight games overall.
The Aces are middle-of-the-pack in points and assists allowed to centers, and they rank in the Top 5 in most rebounds given up to the position. Collier will need a big game to keep her team competitive with a fired-up Aces team on the road.
Play to 33.5.
