The Aces are the best offensive team in the league, scoring 86.5 points per game and having the highest free throw percentage in the league at 83.9%. A’Ja Wilson is the best player on the team, averaging 26.5 points and 12.5 rebounds per game.
The Wings have lost the last two games

The Wings are third in the league, shooting 45% from the field and 82.8% from the free throw line, and are ranked sixth, shooting 33.3% from deep.

Betting Trends
The Aces are 5-0 ATS in their last five games played on Wednesday, 5-2 ATS in their last seven games against teams with a losing record, 3-7 ATS in the last 10 games on the road, and 1-5 ATS in the last six games against teams from the Western Conference. They have played under the total point line in the last five toad games and have gone over in 4 of the last 5 games following a ATS loss and 12 of the last 18 games against teams from the Western Conference. The Wings have covered the spread in their last four games following an ATS loss and the last five games played on Wednesday. They are 6-1 ATS in the last seven games following a straight-up loss, 5-1 ATS in the last six home games, and 4-1 ATS in the last five games overall. The Wings have played over the total point line in 5 of the last 7 games against teams from the Western Conference and 10 of the last 12 home games.
Prediction and Conclusion
The Dallas Wings are back home after a five-game road trip but are facing a team they lost the five games to. The Aces are third in the West, but they have played the fewest games among the competitors, and we can expect to see them on top very soon. They are -8.5-point favorites going into this game, and they have covered that in three of the last five games against the Wings. Given the current form of both teams, the Aces will have full control of the game and cover the given spread at the end.
