Why will the Dallas Wings cover the spread?

The Dallas Wings are high in confidence right now following a stunning comeback victory over the Los Angeles Sparks. Down by as many as 19 in the final canto, Dallas uncorked a deafening 40-18 run to secure its first win since the break.

• An acid test awaits the Wings next as they battle a loaded Las Vegas Aces, which beat them twice this season.

Fortunately, Dallas will have forward Maddy Siegrist in the lineup this time against Las Vegas. It can be recalled that the 24-year old Siegrist was absent when these last two teams faced due to a finger injury. Without Siegrist, the Wings found themselves on the end of a 104-85 blowout loss to the Aces.

• With Siegrist back in the lineup, Dallas will have additional offensive firepower should any of their starters struggle as was the case in the previous matchup with Las Vegas.

While versatile guard Odyssey Sims was on target with 25, leading scorer Arike Ogunbowale was only limited to 13 markers by a suffocating Aces defense, which also forced the Wings to shoot a dismal 30% from three in their previous encounter.

• Good thing for the Wings is Ogunbowale seems to have found her rhythm back, averaging 22.5 points this month.

One thing Dallas needs to do though to give themselves a better chance of covering the spread is to maintain its strong play all game. The Wings were actually right within striking distance in their previous two matchups with the Aces and even took the lead in the opening quarter last time before they got manhandled as the game went on.

Should Dallas start strong and sustain it in all four quarters, backing them to cover the +8 spread against Las Vegas at home should offer potential value for punters looking for a solid bet on the underdog.

Why will the Las Vegas Aces cover the spread?

The Las Vegas Aces finally got over the hump following back-to-back losses to the Minnesota Lynx with a close victory over the Chicago Sky on Sunday. And what better way to build a winning streak than to take on a Dallas Wings team whom they’ve beaten by double digits twice this season.

1. Las Vegas opened as the 9.5-point favorite against Dallas across multiple bookmakers but the line has closed to 8 points as of press time. That is pretty generous considering how they beat the Wings in their previous two matchups.
2. Across two matchups this season, the Aces beat the Wings by an average margin of 16.5 points. The only point of concern for Las Vegas heading into this game is their ability to finish the game strong.

In their previous game against the Sky, Las Vegas nearly collapsed in the end after leading by as many as 13 in the fourth. Fortunately, do-it-all forward A’ja Wilson came up in the clutch with a game-winning buzzer beater to escape a gritty Chicago squad, which also forced them to shoot 25% from downtown.

This will simply not do against a Wings squad who has offensive firepower from all positions on the floor. For all the flak they have been getting this season, Dallas has actually been better than good at something and that is putting the ball in the hoop.

• Currently, the Wings are ranked sixth in the league as far as shooting percentage is concerned, making 44% of their shots.

Good thing for the Aces though is Wilson seems to turn it up notch when Las Vegas goes up against Dallas.

• In two games against the Wings this season, Wilson has averaged 32 points and 11 rebounds.
• Should the Aces get the usual numbers from Wilson and contain the Wings offense, there is potential value towards picking the defending champions to cover the -8 spread.

Final Dallas Wings vs Las Vegas Aces Prediction: Las Vegas Aces -8 (-110)

The Las Vegas Aces are the better team on paper as evident of their current position in the league standings. While the Dallas Wings are fresh off their biggest comeback victory of the season, the talent and depth of the Aces lineup are just too hard to ignore. Give me the Aces to cover at -110.
