🏆 Who will win Aces vs. Storm?
I'm predicting the Aces to win by 13 points in their return from the international break. Las Vegas must close the regular season strong to hold off the Atlanta Dream or Indiana Fever for the No. 3 seed. If the Aces can stay on their side of the bracket, they are set up pretty well for another deep run.
Score prediction: Aces 91, Storm 78
💰 Aces vs. Storm prediction & best bet
Storm Under 82.5 points (-125)
The Aces have a knack for playing their best basketball when it matters most. They closed the 2025 regular season on a 16-game win streak. They've now won three in a row and five of their past seven games entering tonight.
Perhaps the biggest key to flipping the switch is Las Vegas' defensive effort. The Aces have allowed 78 points or fewer in each of their past five wins. Their average during that stretch is 76.2 points.
If Las Vegas wants to remove any doubt about tonight's outcome, it all starts on the defensive end.
🔥 Best Aces vs. Storm player prop bet
A'ja Wilson Over 9.5 rebounds (-108)
The Aces lost NaLyssa Smith for the remainder of the season right before the international break. Her loss will be most felt on the glass, as Smith averaged 6.4 rebounds per game.
A'ja Wilson, who is a heavy favorite for a fifth MVP trophy, can obviously fill that void. She's grabbed 22 total rebounds in the two games without Smith this season.
The Storm are particularly vulnerable on the glass, ranking 14th in rebounds allowed. Wilson collected 12 boards against them on June 8.
This is my favorite way to back a rested Wilson tonight.
🚀 Aces vs. Storm same-game parlay
My Aces vs. Storm parlay script is pretty simple. I'm counting on Wilson and Co. to kick off this closing stretch with a convincing performance in Seattle. The Aces must flip the switch defensively as they enter postseason mode, so I like fading the Storm's offense. It's also a great spot to back Wilson, who sat out the FIBA World Cup.
