Sparks vs Aces Betting Tips
- Las Vegas Aces -13.5 @ 10/11 at Bet9ja
- Over 170.5 points @ 1/1 at Bet9ja
- Las Vegas Aces -7.5 in the first half @ 5/6 at Bet9ja
Aces To Cover Against Depleted Sparks
The Los Angeles Sparks are missing a raft of players with Chiney Ogwumike, Lexie Brown, Nia Clouden, Katie Lou Samuelson and Layshia Clarendon all sidelined.
The Aces are playing a third game in four nights after hammering the Mercury on Tuesday, but they still deserve to be heavy favourites for this one. Having won by 26 points last night, this number looks far too small for the utterly dominant Aces.
The Sparks have lost five in a row, including heavy defeats to the Dream and Sky. They fell to the lowly Phoenix Mercury last time out. With the second-worst record against the spread, we can’t see Los Angeles covering here.
Bet 1: Las Vegas Aces -13.5 @ 10/11 at Bet9ja
Set To Hit The Over
Both of these teams play at an above-average pace. The Aces have hit the over more often than not this season, so it’s not surprising to see the total set at 170.5 in the latest Sparks vs Aces odds.
Only two teams have a worse defensive rating than the Sparks over the last five games. Their offence has been poor, too, but they might not need to score more than 70 points if they are blown out by the Aces in this one.
Over 170.5 points is one of our favourite Sparks vs Aces predictions for Wednesday’s contest.
Bet 2: Over 170.5 points @ 1/1 at Bet9ja
Aces To Take First-Half Advantage
The Aces have outscored opponents by 20 points per 100 possessions in this season’s first half of games. Backing Las Vegas to take a commanding lead in the first two quarters has been among the safest WNBA tips.
Los Angeles has lost their last five first halves, even when facing far less talented opposition than these Aces. Missing so many integral rotation players, the Sparks will be overmatched from tip-off and could find themselves out of the game by the end of the first quarter.
Owning an ugly -19.4 first net rating across their five-game losing streak, look for the Sparks to fall behind early on. The Aces are great value at 5/6 on the first-half spread in the last of our Sparks vs Aces tips.
Bet 3: Las Vegas Aces -7.5 in the first half @ 5/6 [Bet9ja]
