Chicago Sky vs. Las Vegas Aces betting picks and predictions

Chicago Sky +13.0 (-110) 

The Sky are building for the future as rookies Reese and Kamilla Cardoso quickly become part of the team's core.

Despite having 14 losses, the Sky have remained competitive throughout the season. They have only lost one game by more than 14 points, and that was a 15-point defeat to league-leading New York. 

However, Chicago is just 4-10 against the spread in its last 14 games, including 2-4 ATS in its last six on the road. Las Vegas is just 10-13 ATS this season, and 6-6 ATS at home, although the Aces are 5-0 ATS at home in the last five games. 

Look for Las Vegas to get the win to close out the regular season, but for the Sky to cover the 13-point spread. 

Angel Reese Over 13.5 Points (-115) and Over 12.5 Rebounds (-145)

Reese has had a dramatic impact on the Sky in her rookie season, leading the WNBA with 12 rebounds a game.

She is also averaging 13.5 points, good for third on the team and in any other year, she would probably be a runaway for WNBA Rookie of the Year. 

Look for Reese to close her strong first half with a complete performance against the Aces. The Sky will need a double-double from Reese to have any chance of beating the Aces, so look for her to top both 13.5 Points and 12.5 Rebounds.

A'ja Wilson Over 27.5 Points (-125) 

Wilson is well on her way to a third WNBA MVP award in the last five seasons. She is averaging a league-leading 27.2 points, including 28 in a win over the Washington Mystics Sunday night after scoring 33 in a win over Atlanta on Friday.

There is simply no stopping her and Chicago will just have to concede her points while hoping to contain Plum and Young. 

Look for Wilson to score Over 27.5 Points for the 16th time this season. 

Total Over 169.5 Points (-110) 

Although this is a high total, the Aces have the league's highest-scoring offense at nearly 89 points a game. Chicago is the second-worst at 78.7 points, but the Sky should score more trying to keep up with Las Vegas' pace.

With this being the final game before a one-month break, look for both teams to push the ball even more than normal and combine for Over 169.5 Points.
