- What: WNBA Regular Season Game
- When: September 9, 2025
- Who: Chicago Sky vs. Las Vegas Aces
- Time: 7:00 p.m. PST
- Where: Michelob ULTRA Arena (Las Vegas, NV)
The Aces (2-0 vs Sky this season) and Sky meet for the second consecutive game after Las Vegas defeated Chicago 80-66 on Sunday.
Chicago was without Angel Reese (team-leading 13.8 points per game) and Ariel Atkins (third-leading scorer), both sidelined by back injuries. Both may be out again tonight, potentially limiting Chicago’s offensive production.
Reese, Chicago’s leading scorer and rebounder, has missed several games this summer due to a lingering back issue. Chicago’s record reflects her impact: the Sky are just 1-11 this season when Reese doesn’t play, and at 10-32 overall, they are out of playoff contention, making it likely she remains sidelined.
As Chicago limps toward the season’s end, the Aces are thriving, currently on a 14-game winning streak.
This run includes a 10-point victory over the top-seeded Lynx. Before that, Las Vegas was 0-3 against Minnesota with an average margin of defeat of 32.7 points—making their recent turnaround especially notable.
A’ja Wilson has been unstoppable, averaging a league-best 25.9 points per game since the All-Star break. In this stretch, the Aces have the league’s third-highest net rating, while the Sky are last.
With the playoffs approaching, Las Vegas trails Atlanta by just half a game for the No. 2 seed—making these last two games critical.
Las Vegas should dominate Chicago again, especially if Reese is out, but the 18-point spread is intimidating and always risky.
Instead of backing the spread, let’s target the total: the over/under set at 159.5, with both previous meetings averaging just 149.5 points. Taking the under is the recommended play for this matchup.
Best Bet: Under 159.5 points at -115 odds
September Record: 1-0 +1 unit
