Over 180.5 (BetMGM)

By Michael Fiddle

This is a simple market read and identifying a sharp spot. The opening line was 176.5, and there are 180.5s starting to pop up.

This is an over spot, and the line is reflecting that in its movement.

From a basketball perspective, the Aces can score nearly triple figures on any given night, and the Wings' defense has been abysmal over the last 10+ games.

The line opened at a high number for a WNBA total and is climbing. The smartest bettors aren't scared off of the number, and thus, I would play the over 180.5 for a small half-unit.

Kelsey Plum Over 17.5 Points (-128, FanDuel)

By Joe Dellera

This is an elite matchup for the Aces against the Wings. Dallas has, by far, the worst defense in the W (110.5) while playing at the third-fastest pace. There will be plenty of chances to score.

Kelsey Plum has crushed in this matchup. She’s scored 23 and 20 points this season while averaging 21.8 points per game against Dallas since 2022. That’s good for an 82% hit rate on this line of 17.5.

Given the pace, the history and the specific defensive matchup, Plum should once again find success against Dallas.

She also has an extremely high floor for assists here, with three in every matchup against Dallas.

Pick: Kelsey Plum Over 17.5 Points (-128)

Satou Sabally Over 3+ Made 3s (+162, FanDuel)

By Danielle Alvari

This total opened at 176.5 and has already been bet up to 180.5, so needless to say we’re expecting points here — and lots of them.

After all, Dallas is 18-10 to the over this season, and the Aces' defense has been middling at best lately, giving up nearly 83 points per game.

Dallas’ defense has been abysmal all season long. That said, this will be the Aces' third straight road game in the past five days.

While the total may now be too high for my interest, I'm into another over. Dallas’ Satou Sabally has played 36 minutes in all four games since returning from injury and has racked up eight 3-pointers in just three games.

Dating back to last season, she scored three or more triples in three of her last five games vs. the Aces. This season, Las Vegas ranks second-to-last in opponent 3-point shooting percentage, so I’m going with Sabally over 3+ made 3s.

(Sabally Over 4+ 3-pointers is +400 if you really want to get wild.)
