My analysis

If this battle is based on styles, we’re going to find out if it’s offense or defense that reigns supreme.
 
Vegas currently leads the WNBA in scoring at a hefty 87.4 points per game, ranking Top 4 in both field goal and 3-point percentage. The Aces have scored 88 points or more in a game eight times.
 
On the other side is Connecticut, the W’s stingiest scoring defense, surrendering just 70.7 points per game, limiting teams to a paltry 29% mark from distance (second), and holding teams to just 30.5 rebounds per game, the best mark in the league.
 
The Aces are Bottom 4 in scoring defense, allowing teams to post 85.5 points per game, with opponents doing major damage from beyond the arc, hitting at a 38.6% rate, by far the worst defensive mark in the W.
 
The Sun aren’t a scoring juggernaut, but they’re middle of the pack scoring 80.9 points per game, while ranking Top 3 in field goal shooting at 44.6%.
 
Connecticut is at its best squeezing teams on the margins, winning those battles, and picking up plus-point advantages.
 
The Sun allow the fewest points off turnovers and fast break points, while ranking second in second-chance points allowed. Conversely, they also rank second in both points off turnovers and second-chance points.
 
You can never count out a champion, yes, but the Aces have not looked championship-caliber when going up against the other WNBA heavies — games that have been played within the last 10 days.

Vegas dropped a 90-82 decision to the New York Liberty on June 15, four days after getting beat up by the Minnesota Lynx 100-86. Minnesota, New York, and Connecticut are the only teams with more than 10 wins this season.
 
Connecticut has yet to lose on the road, while Vegas is sitting at 4-4 at home.
 
You have better odds picking an outright win, but the generous Sun spread covers you in the event this one goes down to the wire.

Sun vs Aces same-game parlay (SGP)

Sun +6

A’ja Wilson Under 26.5 points

Tyasha Harris Over 1.5 3-pointers made

+380 at DraftKings

At first glance, it might seem a little odd to take the Under for WNBA leading scorer A’ja Wilson. 
 
Wilson has topped her 26.5 scoring line in nine of her last 10 outings, the only blip a 21-point outing in a loss to the Liberty.
 
The 27-year-old is the heavy WNBA MVP odds favorite, but we’ll see how she fares in her first meeting with the Sun. Over the last two seasons, including the playoffs, Connecticut has held Wilson Under this total in 10 straight games, with her highest scoring output hitting 24 points.
 
While she’s still putting up numbers, Wilson hasn’t led the Aces in scoring for three straight, after topping the charts nine of the first 10. I like the Sun forcing others to beat them Friday night.
 
We know Vegas has the worst 3-point shooting defense, so we’re targeting Connecticut sharpshooter Tyasha Harris, who sits eighth from distance with a 41.4% clip.
 
Harris has a makeable 1.5 line against the Aces, a figure she’s topped in three straight games, while connecting from 3-point range at least twice in five of her last seven outings.
