WNBA Game Preview: Vegas Aces at Dallas Wings July 16th, 8:10 PM EST

Author:

The Matchup: The high-powered Las Vegas Aces (implied record is good based on their favoritism and usual performance) travel to Dallas to face the Wings in what promises to be an exciting WNBA matchup.

The Odds: The Aces are favored by 6 points on the road, with the over/under set at 170.

Aces Outlook: The Aces are looking like the Aces. Their offense is usually potent, and their roster is deep with talented players. They will aim to control the tempo and impose their will on the Wings. Their key players (likely A’ja Wilson and Kelsey Plum) will need to perform well to cover the spread on the road.

Wings Outlook: The Wings are a feisty team that can challenge any opponent on their home court. The team has a lot of young talent and plays with energy. However, consistency has been an issue for them. To compete with the Aces, they’ll need a strong performance from their star players (e.g., Arike Ogunbowale) and a solid defensive effort.

Key Factors:

  • Aces’ Offensive Efficiency: Can the Aces maintain their scoring prowess on the road?
  • Wings’ Defense: Will the Wings be able to slow down the Aces’ potent attack?
  • Rebounding: Controlling the boards will be crucial for both teams.
  • Turnovers: Limiting turnovers will be essential, especially for the Wings, against a team like the Aces.

Prediction:

The Aces are the superior team, but the Wings are a tough opponent at home. The -6 spread seems about right. The biggest question is if the Wings can score enough to make this competitive.

Lean:

  • Slight Lean to the Aces -6: While the Wings are competitive, the Aces usually have the offensive power to pull away late. The Aces know that they need to be taking care of business against teams they are favored against and come out with a strong statement.
  • Consider the Over 170: Both teams are capable of scoring in bunches. If the Wings keep it close, this game could easily go over.

Final Thoughts: Expect a fast-paced and entertaining game. The Aces are likely to come out on top, but the Wings should put up a good fight.
