Recent Scores for Last Game
The most recent WNBA scores for each of these teams both resulted in double-digit victories.

Meanwhile, the Aces picked up a 93-80 win at home over the Chicago Sky in their last outing on Sunday.
Storm vs Aces Analysis
The WNBA standings for the 2023 season feature the Las Vegas Aces at the top of the heap. They are in first place with an 8-1 record, and are the clear favorites to win the WNBA Finals this season. The Seattle Storm, meanwhile, are one of the bottom-four WNBA teams so far this season, with a 2-6 record to their name.
What should be the big difference in this game is the depth that the Aces have, and the depth that the Storm do not have. Las Vegas’ bench has the best net rating of any group of reserves in the league so far this season. Seattle’s bench, meanwhile, has the worst net rating in the league as they will struggle to compete with the Vegas bench.
Storm vs Aces Odds Breakdown
Going into this game, the Las Vegas Aces are 17.5-point favorites over the Seattle Storm. The total for the game is set at 168.5 points, the highest of the three games on the Thursday WNBA schedule.
Seattle Storm
Going into this contest, the Seattle Storm are 2-6 on the season so far, but they are 5-2-1 against the spread for the year. Seattle has split their eight games down the middle in the totals market, going 4-4 in the over/under market so far in 2023.
Las Vegas Aces
While the Aces have been a popular pick among those betting on WNBA thanks to their star power this season, they have struggled to cover the spread. Las Vegas is 4-5 against the spread despite their 8-1 start. But the Aces have gone over the total in six of their nine games this season.
Storm vs Aces Betting Pick and Prediction
Bet on Spread
The first of our Storm vs Aces best bets is for the Aces to cover a massive point spread on their home floor. Las Vegas should be able to dominate both when their starters are on the floor and when their bench is in the game, as the Storm really lack the depth around Jewell Loyd that they need to threaten the best team in the league. We could see Vegas win this game by 25-30 points if they are shooting the ball at or near their best in this matchup.
- Pick 1: Aces -17.5
Bet on Totals
The second of our Storm vs Aces best bets is for this game to go over the 168.5 point mark. The Storm gave up 105 points to the Aces at home in their first game of this season. Now that they are playing in Las Vegas, the offense of the Aces should really be able to get going, and they could easily break the 100-point mark again by themselves in this contest.
- Pick 2: Over 168.5
