Featured Match-up: Minnesota Lynx (-2/164) vs. Las Vegas Aces
It is a game that will live in infamy for the Las Vegas Aces. It occurred on Aug. 2 of this year at Michelob Ultra Arena in Las Vegas. Final score: Minnesota 111, Las Vegas 58. The 53-point loss was the largest home defeat in WNBA history.
Since then, the Aces have yet to lose. They have won 12 in a row and can set a franchise record for consecutive victories with a win against Minnesota today.
I see the prideful, revenge-minded Aces doing just that. Getting points is just a bonus.
Las Vegas had a rare seven-day break allowing plenty of rest and time to game-plan for this specific matchup.
Oh, yes, it is important for Las Vegas’ postseason seeding as the Aces are a half-game behind Atlanta for the second-best record in the WNBA.
This game is not nearly as important for the Lynx. Minnesota already has secured the No. 1 seed. That could mean a reduction in minutes from Minnesota’s starting players. Lynx coach Cheryl Reeve should have learned a lesson when her star player, Napheesa Collier, suffered an ankle injury in the second half of Minnesota’s 53-point blowout of Las Vegas and missed seven games.
It should be also noted that this game is not at Michelob Ultra Arena, but at T-Mobile Arena. This is a bigger venue and the Las Vegas players enjoy playing there more.
Pick: Las Vegas Aces +2.5
