Wings +8.5 (-110), to win 1 unit, and
LV Aces/Dallas Wings 1H over 84.5 (-110), to win 1 unit
Firstly, you best believe that this game is circled for Dallas, at home, against their conference’s #1 team after losing the first two matchups this season. This is a great setup to take the Wings, who are in 3rd in the West and need to keep their playoff hopes alive. The first contest between these two clubs was low-scoring and out-of-the-ordinary. Both teams shot around 25% from beyond the arc, ew, and both teams had bad overall shooting nights. In their second matchup things regressed to the mean, far eclipsing the total. At home, I think the Wings come out firing like they did in their last home game against Vegas. Dallas has been a top 3 offense over their last 5 games, the Aces defense hasn’t looked sharp, and the Aces love to run the floor at a fast-pace in response to their opponent’s offensive success. While this could slow down late in a testy conference game, I’ll take the 1H over and the Wings to make it a competitive contest.
