Aces vs Dream Betting Preview
Las Vegas Aces: Perfect Thus Far
Going into this season, it was expected that the Las Vegas Aces would be one of the best WNBA teams of 2023. Taking the defending league champions and adding Candace Parker has gone better than expected, though, as the team has won each of its first four games. Here, they are expected to make it five wins in five games against Atlanta.
For the Aces, the key to this game will be their interior defense and rebounding. Las Vegas will always have the edge on the perimeter with their elite guard group. But they are a little undersized and could fall victim to a team with the physicality of the Dream if they are not careful.
Atlanta Dream: Aiming For Second Straight Win
The Atlanta Dream have split the first four games on their WNBA schedule, going 2-2 early on. Their last game was a home win over the Chicago Sky. In which the Dream dominated proceedings from the first quarter and never looked back. Here, a dominant performance is far less likely, as the Dream will need to grind things out against Vegas.
For the Dream, the key to this game will be slowing the game down. Las Vegas loves to play at a fast pace where they can get opposing defenses out of sorts and prey on them from three-point range. Atlanta will need to play in the halfcourt to keep Vegas from doing that, to keep this game competitive throughout.
Aces vs Dream Betting Picks
- Over/Under: Under 171.5
- Point Spread: Dream +11.5
While there is a big point spread in this contest, this could end up being the best of the four WNBA games today. We like the Dream to cover this double-digit spread. They should be able to get second chances underneath through Monique Billings and Cheyenne Parker. The physicality of Atlanta, and their ability to score from the outside through Howard will help them stay within 11 or fewer points.
The under is another bet worth making in this game, as the Dream will do everything that they can to slow down the Aces. Expect the Dream to try and take the air out of the ball when they have possession, which will help both the spread and under.
