The defending WNBA champion Las Vegas Aces look the part of a team ready to win a second consecutive championship. The Aces dominated the WNBA standings during the season and earned the top seed for a reason. During Game 1 against Dallas Wings, the Aces leaned on their strong offense to outrun the Wings during a 14-point victory.
Any team doing a Wings vs Aces betting analysis will see that Dallas can’t afford to miss any easy opportunities to create offense like it did in Game 1. The Wings missed six free throws and struggled to create second-chance opportunities on the boards. Dallas will want to gain momentum before heading back to Arlington for Game 3.

Aces’ Offense is Difficult to Slow Down
Las Vegas is trying to make WNBA semifinals predictions on its series easier for bettors. If the Aces can attack the Wings as they did in Game 1, this won’t be a long series. Las Vegas made all 13 of its free throws in the series opener.
The Aces also made ten 3-pointers. WNBA stats show that Kelsey Plum and Jackie Young led the team by connecting on five triples apiece. Las Vegas forward A’ja Wilson demonstrated why she was named the league’s defensive player of the year. Wilson blocked four shots and grabbed five defensive rebounds.

Dallas Wings vs. Las Vegas Aces Betting Prediction
Wings are more than capable of trading blows with Las Vegas. But in order to win the game or cover the spread, the Wings must control the Aces’ 3-point shooting. It is unlikely that the Wings will have enough consistency to keep up with the determined aces.
- Making a Wings vs Aces betting analysis will lean toward Las Vegas on the spread.
One thing the Wings and Aces have been good about in games they’ve played with each other is scoring plenty of points. Two of the four regular-season games saw at least one of the teams score 100 points. The Aces got pretty close again in Game 1. This one should go past the total.
