WNBA

Indiana enters with a strong offense and solid recent scoring, but its defense has been the less dependable side, allowing 90.4 points per game while the team is coming off a loss. Las Vegas has been on a stronger run, winning seven straight, and has combined efficient shooting with better defensive suppression, holding opponents to 85.8 points per game. The Aces also carry the edge in assist rate and turnover control, which gives them a steadier floor in a game that should feature plenty of half-court possessions.
Las Vegas should control this game with its stronger defensive numbers, steadier ball movement, and better current form. Indiana has enough offense to keep the score respectable, but the Aces’ home edge and efficiency give them the clearer path to a cover. The projected final score is Las Vegas 94, Indiana 89, which supports a Las Vegas Aces -3.5 recommendation.
