Las Vegas Aces at Seattle Storm odds, picks and predictions
The Las Vegas Aces (13-7) and Seattle Storm (14-7) meet Wednesday afternoon at Climate Pledge Arena. Tip-off is scheduled for 3 p.m. ET (Amazon Prime Video). Let's analyze FanDuel Sportsbook's lines around the Aces vs. Storm odds, and make our expert WNBA picks and predictions.
Season series: Tied 1-1
The Aces had a rough patch in early to mid-June, but Las Vegas has shown its championship mettle lately. The Aces are 7-1 in the past 8 games, while going 6-2 against the spread (ATS) during the span.
The Aces offense has been on fire, too, averaging 98.3 points per game (PPG) in the past 3 games, cashing the Over. Las Vegas has scored 88 or more points in 6 in a row, too.
The Storm have racked up 5 wins in the past 6 outings along with a 5-1 ATS record in the impressive span. That streak started after a 94-83 loss and non-cover -- as 6.5-point underdogs -- in Las Vegas June 19 in the most recent meeting between the 2 teams. Aces superstar C A'ja Wilson posted 27 points, 9 rebounds, 4 steals and 2 blocks in that win, while G Jackie Young erupted for 32 points.
Seattle did win outright 78-65 as a 7.5-point underdog at Mandalay Bay June 7 as the Under (167) connected. However, Las Vegas G Chelsea Gray didn't play. Wilson had another strong line, going for 29 points, 11 rebounds and 3 blocks in 36 minutes in that loss.

Aces at Storm picks and predictions
Prediction
Aces 92, Storm 83
Moneyline
Las Vegas (-210) will cost 2.1 times your potential return. That's too risky for a standalone wager. As part of a multi-leg parlay Wednesday, playing the Aces won't crush your ticket, but you can't back Las Vegas by itself.
AVOID and look to the line instead.
Against the spread
LAS VEGAS -5 (-108) is a strong playing laying the points, but don't get carried away. The Aces did cover as 6.5-point favorites in the most recent meeting June 19. However, Seattle is 5-1 ATS since that setback.
The Aces are on a roll, going 6-2 ATS in the past 8 outings, and they kicked that hot streak off in that mid-June battle against the Storm. BACK LAS VEGS -5 (-108), but again, don't be too aggressive about it.
Over/Under
OVER 173.5 (-110) is the lean, but go with a half-unit play at most.
The Over has cashed in 3 in a row for the Aces as their offense has been a well-oiled machine lately. The Aces have scored 93 or more points in each of the past 3 contests, and 85 or more points in 11 of the previous 12 outings.
For the Storm, the Under and Over have alternated in the past 5 games, cashing low last time out against Chicago Sunday. Go high, but conviction isn't terribly high.
