The Las Vegas Aces’ victory tour after winning their first WNBA title last season hasn’t been one filled with any sort of hangover. WNBA scores and odds reflect that the Aces’ victory tour has put the rest of the league on notice. Las Vegas has won nine of its last 10 games and is seeking to gain energy before the All-Star break.
When it comes to making an Aces vs Sparks prediction, Los Angeles is hoping to take advantage of Las Vegas being on the second leg of a back-to-back. The Sparks have had a tough season in the first year under veteran coach Curt Miller. The Sparks, however, are still just one game outside of the playoff picture. A win against Las Vegas would provide a lot of momentum.
