- What: WNBA Regular Season Game
- When: July 12, 2025
- Who: Golden State Valkyries vs. Las Vegas Aces
- Time: 1:05 p.m. PST
- Where: T-Mobile Arena (Las Vegas, NV)
The Las Vegas Aces host the Golden State Valkyries at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas this afternoon. The Aces enter as a slight favorite, with a total of 154.5 points.
The Valkyries have made a strong impression as an expansion team with 10 victories under their belt.
Their defense has been the backbone of their success, but their offense has shown significant improvement recently. In their last matchup, they scored 80 points in a decisive win over the Fever.
While Kayla Thornton has been a steady contributor, Veronica Burton stole the spotlight with 21 points against the Fever. Her versatility will be critical as they face off against Vegas’s ninth-ranked defense.
On the other hand, despite their established reputation, the Aces have faced challenges this season and currently sit below .500 with a revamped roster.
To complicate matters, A’ja Wilson is sidelined due to a wrist injury. Jackie Young has performed well, but the Las Vegas offense currently ranks last in the league.
It seems the line for Vegas reflects their recent history more than their current performance.
In contrast, Golden State has gained momentum, showcasing the third-best net rating over their last 10 games, while Las Vegas finds itself at the bottom of the rankings.
I don’t understand the odds for this game, it does not seem to fully account for Wilson’s injury. This makes Golden State seem like the clear choice in this matchup.
Best Bet: Valkyries Money Line at +105 odds
