Aces vs Sparks Odds

| Aces ‑2.5 | Aces -140 / Sparks +120 | 174.5 |
Key Storylines
The Sparks enter this game with momentum. They have earned five straight victories and are only one game behind the eighth and final playoff spot in the league. Cameron Brink is finally cleared to return from her ACL and meniscus surgery and will make her season debut. That addition to the Sparks lineup will shore up their interior defense and rim protection. Her presence could transform the Sparks if she returns to her old level of play.
The Aces recently routed Dallas 106‑80. They were led by a 24‑point performance from Jackie Young and strong shooting efficiency. That win followed two blowout losses to the Indiana Fever and Minnesota Lynx. A’ja Wilson remains the engine for the Aces. She has averaged 21.6 ppg and 9.1 rpg. But support around her has been inconsistent.
A key storyline going into this game is the fact that multiple Sparks are playing their former team tonight. Dearica Hamby had a bad ending to her time in Vegas off the court and typically plays well against them. And Kelsey Plum was traded from Vegas to LA in the offseason.
Head-to-Head & Betting Trends
- The regular season series is tied 1‑1 heading into this contest.
- Both of the first two meetings between these teams were held in Las Vegas. Now it is LA’s turn to host.
- ATS: Aces are 10‑16 and the Sparks are 11‑13‑1.
- The Aces are 6-9 on the road. Los Angeles is 3-8 at home.
Best Player Props to Watch
| Player | Prop | Analysis |
|---|---|---|
| Dearica Hamby (Sparks) | Over 15.5 Points | Hamby has scored 17 or more in her last five games. She tends to play well against her former team. |
| Jackie Young (Aces) | Over 4.5 Assists | Young’s creation for others on offense will be key to disrupting what should be a better Sparks defense with Brink back. |
| Rickea Jackson (Sparks) | Over 13.5 Points | The Aces lack depth and Jackson should take advantage against the Aces’ secondary defenders. |
Advanced Metrics & Trends
- The Sparks are fifth in the league in offensive rating. Vegas is seventh in the league in that department.
- The Aces are ninth in defensive rating. Los Angeles is 11th out of 13 WNBA teams.
Aces vs Sparks Model Projection
Score Projection: Las Vegas 89 – Los Angeles 84
Win Probability: Las Vegas 56%, Los Angeles 44%
Final Thoughts
The Sparks enter with momentum and a fully healthy roster for the first time this season. The Aces carry more elite star power in A’ja Wilson and Jackie Young. But the lack of depth behind the stars of Las Vegas is concerning. With Brink back to protect the paint, I think that we see the Sparks win this game outright at home. Los Angeles at plus money is a good value tonight.
