The WNBA Commissioner’s Cup continues on Wednesday night as the Las Vegas Aces are set to meet the Dallas Wings. Even though this game stands out from others throughout the regular season, it will be played out in the same way.
Las Vegas is coming into this game well-rested as they have played just six total games so far this season. The Aces are 4-2 on the year, and they are looking for their third straight WNBA Championship.
Dallas is looking for a big win in this game as they have gone just 3-4 to begin the 2024 WNBA season. The Wings are also looking to bounce back in a big way after dropping two straight games up to this point.
The Las Vegas Aces are 6.5-point betting favorites on Wednesday night, and the over/under line is set at 168.5 total points.
Aces Must Make Shots
If the Las Vegas Aces are going to get back on track this season then they are going to have to start making shots from the perimeter. Las Vegas is shooting just 42 percent from the field, and A’Ja Wilson is going to need some help.
Wilson is scoring over 26 points per game this season, and she continues to have a ton of success in the paint. While Las Vegas has been terrific inside this season, they also need to do a better job on the perimeter.
The Aces have allowed over 80 points per game this season as well, and that’s not usual based on how they have played in recent years.
Dallas Can’t Get Stops
The Dallas Wings are an exciting team to watch, but it’s mostly because all of their games get up into the high 80s. Dallas is giving up close to 84 points per game, and that’s just not a good enough effort on most nights.
The Wings are a team averaging 82.6 points per game, and they have some great offensive weapons on this roster. Dallas will be looking to push the tempo in this game in an effort to try to wear down the Aces.
Arike Ogunbowale is leading the Wings with 26.6 points per game, and she is on the short list of MVP candidates. Dallas will be attempting to shoot their way to a big home win in this matchup.
Aces Roll to Win Over Wings
Las Vegas has continued to be a great offensive team throughout the year, but at some point they have to get stops. The Aces should be able to put up a low number in this game, and that will end up being the difference.
Dallas just hasn’t been playing any defense at all this season, and they haven’t been shooting the ball well of late. The Wings can stay in this game for a half, but that is about all to expect from this team.
Bet the Las Vegas Aces -6.5 as they are going to have a dominant performance in this game as they roll to another impressive win.
