The Dallas Wings, with a record of 9-30, are taking on the Las Vegas Aces, who have a record of 26-13, in hopes of ending their eight-game losing streak.
Dallas Wings
The Wings won’t be making it to the playoffs, but they aim to end their tough season on a positive note as they take on the Aces, who will be giving some of their key players a break.
Satou Sabally has only played in 14 games this season, but she has made a big impact as a scorer since her late-season debut. She is currently averaging 17.4 points per game.

In 9 out of the 14 games she has played this season, Sabally has scored 18+ points, including five games with 20 or more points.
In her last 2 games, she scored 27 and 18 points, and her season-high of 28 points came against the Las Vegas Aces when they had their full starting lineup.
Sabally, who stands at 6 feet 5 inches, can take advantage of this favorable matchup and dominate in the paint as a scorer, with the Aces resting their best players.
Las Vegas Aces
The Aces have decided to give their key players some rest after a grueling 39-game WNBA season, during which the team clinched the No. 4 seed for the WNBA playoffs.
With a 26-13 record, the Aces have clinched the fourth seed in the upcoming WNBA playoffs, trailing the third-seeded Connecticut Sun by just one game.
The stage is set.

With little on the line in the final game, head coach Becky Hammon prioritized the health of her top players, ensuring they are well-rested and in top form for the postseason.
Wings-Aces Best Bet
The news that the Aces will be resting their key players in this matchup has swung the spread from the Aces being favored by 8.5 points to the Wings being favored by 4.5 points.
In addition to the spread changing, the total has plummeted from 177 all the way down to 170. This makes it very difficult to pick this game. While I believe the Wings most likely win this game, I’m not very confident backing them.
The total is what I’m targeting in this matchup, I believe it’s dropped too far. The bench players for the Aces should keep this one competitive and I’m expecting both teams being able to score with ease.
I’ll take Over 170 points as the best bet in this one.
