Las Vegas Aces vs Los Angeles Sparks Prediction

Massive line and it makes it tricky given we’re still in the baby stages of the season and teams are still figuring things out. The Aces are also without Chelsea Gray and had some hiccups against the Mercury despite the win. With that said, the Sparks showed nothing defensively at home against the Dream, and now they’re on the road against the team expected to three-peat. The Aces have won 9 of the last 10 Games against the Sparks and have covered a bunch of double-digit numbers during those wins. Again, thick line, but it’s the Aces or pass for me.
