The sportsbooks are very confident in the Aces for this game, marking them as 6-point favorites for their home matchup in the WNBA odds.
Connecticut Sun
The Aces have a strong playoff record in the past, but it’s clear that Connecticut and New York are leading the way in the WNBA. Connecticut stands out as the top team, with a record of 13-1 and 5-0 on the road.
Las Vegas may be the favorite, but it’s not a given that they will outperform Connecticut.

The Aces have had a mixed performance so far, but they are hopeful that star point guard Chelsea Gray’s return will help them turn things around.
However, Connecticut’s strong defense and the Aces’ recent defensive struggles suggest there might be better times for them to defeat such a formidable opponent.
Picking the Sun with the +6 point spread seems reasonable considering these factors.
Las Vegas Aces
In June, the Aces have struggled defensively, allowing at least 80 points in six out of seven games. However, the Sun may not have the same offensive weapons that have caused problems for the Aces.

The Sun have only scored 80 points in regulation in six out of 14 games this season and rank low in the percentage of points scored from 3-pointers, an area where the Aces have been vulnerable.
Additionally, the Sun has had a relatively easy schedule. When facing other top-five teams in the league, they have only exceeded 80 points once in a game against Minnesota in overtime.
Sun-Aces Best Bet
Given Connecticut’s deliberate pace and a healthier Las Vegas team, the Aces will tighten their defense and secure a hard-fought victory, likely holding the Sun to under 80 points.
