LA Sparks vs Las Vegas Aces betting tips
Kelsey Plum, who helped the Aces win the 2022 and 2023 WNBA championships, has been the offensive engine for the Sparks this season. After her 24-point performance against the Valkyries, expect Plum to continue hitting her stride by scoring over 25 points against her former team.
Sophomore player Rickea Jackson has not been impressive this season. Facing off against a formidable unit like the Aces, Jackson could regain his form. It is safe to bet over 10 points and five rebounds for her.
Meanwhile, the Aces are keen to get back to winning ways against the Sparks, led by reigning MVP A’ja Wilson. Wilson has not scored over 20 points in the past two games, but against LA, she is projected to put up over 20 points and perhaps grab more than 10 rebounds. Bet on her to go over that number.
Additionally, expect Chelsea Gray to continue her steady showing for the Aces. With her shooting efficiency throughout this season, bet on her to go over 18 points on their home floor.
LA Sparks vs Las Vegas Aces Prediction
The Las Vegas Aces are predicted to win the game against the LA Sparks. The Aces are on their home court and have been terrific when playing in front of their home crowd. Meanwhile, the Sparks have struggled to find their rhythm in recent games, and it is expected to show once more.
