The first Sunday clash of June figures to grab the attention of every WNBA bettor as the Las Vegas Aces head to Climate Pledge Arena for their second 2025 meeting with the defensive-minded Seattle Storm. Seattle defeated Las Vegas in their first clash of the season, but the Storm have been ice-cold since then and will look to turn things around at home. Here, we break down Aces vs Storm and make our prediction in the betting markets for this key contest.
Aces vs Storm Preview
Las Vegas arrives at 3-2, coming off of a win against the LA Sparks on Friday. In that game, A’ja Wilson was phenomenal, scoring 35 points and making all 10 of her shots from the free-throw line. Wilson is averaging 23.6 points per game for the season and her ability to score from anywhere on the floor will be key as the Aces look to move Ezi Magbegor away from the paint to free up space for Las Vegas drives to the rim.
Seattle is off to a 3-3 start in their first year without Jewell Loyd, who returns to Seattle for the second time since being traded to the Aces. The Storm won three of their first four games, but have lost back-to-back contests to the Minnesota Lynx and Atlanta Dream. Their loss to Atlanta on Friday was their first loss at home on the young season, as they allowed 33 points to Atlanta’s Rhyne Howard. The Storm will need to lock in defensively to avoid a third loss in a row.
In the first game between these teams this season, the Storm scored 102 points in a game that was never all that close. Seattle shot 60% from the field and 50% from three-point range. Las Vegas will need to tighten things up on defense to avoid another humbling outcome against Seattle here.
Betting Insights
- Spread: Las Vegas -3.5
- Moneyline: Las Vegas -165 / Seattle +140
- Total: 162.5 points
The number reflects the Aces’ offensive ceiling, while not discounting the Storm’s home-court edge. Early tickets have leaned Las Vegas against the spread, but under action on the total shows respect for Seattle’s ability to drag elite offenses into slower-than-expected contests.

Aces vs Storm Prediction
Seattle’s interior defense can give Wilson fewer easy touches than she enjoyed against Los Angeles, and Diggins-Smith’s crafty playmaking should challenge an Aces backcourt that occasionally loses cutters. Conversely, Las Vegas can punish double teams on Wilson with kick-outs to Loyd and Young. Even if the pace is forced down, the visitors’ efficient shot chart, driven by rim pressure and rhythm threes, gives them more margin for error than Seattle’s mid-range-heavy profile.
Best Bet: Aces -3.5. With superior shot-creation, cleaner possession metrics, and a proven trio that closes fourth quarters, Las Vegas should edge clear late and cover a single-digit spread. For total players, lean to the over, as we expect another high-scoring affair between these two teams.
Score Projection: Las Vegas 88, Seattle 80.
