Las Vegas Aces vs New York Liberty Prediction

The New York Liberty in the underdog role is intriguing because it’s a spot you’re not going to get often this season. The Liberty have also won 3 of the last 5 Games against the Aces. However, the Aces at home and a short line with the rest advantage is tough to turn down. The Aces entered the break playing great ball and A’ja Wilson showed she’s the best player in the world at the Olympics. Also, this is just the ninth time since 2023 where the Aces are favorites of 5 points or fewer. You don’t get this soft line with the Aces much. I’ll lay the bucket with Vegas.
