Aces vs. Tempo Prediction: WNBA Picks for Monday, July 20
My Aces vs. Tempo prediction will back the first-half Over ahead of their meeting at 8 p.m. on Monday at Coca-Cola Coliseum in Toronto on NBC Sports Network.
Las Vegas, a double-digit favorite on tonight, is in a great position in the latest WNBA championship odds as the defending champs. This is a good chance for the Aces to flex their muscles against an inferior Tempo squad.

| 💰 Pick | ⚖️ Bet size (units) | 🧠 Why I bet this |
|---|---|---|
| Tempo +11 (-110 via Caesars) | 0.5u → 0.45u | Toronto has slight value as a home underdog due to being without head coach Sandy Brondello. |
| First-half Over 87.5 (-115 via Caesars) | 1u → 0.87u | The Aces lead the WNBA in first-half offensive rating, which bodes well for a Tempo team playing without its head coach. |
| Jewell Loyd Over 1.5 3-pointers (-125 via BetRivers) | 1u → 0.8u | Jewell Loyd has hit multiple 3-pointers in 14 of her 23 games, including eight of her last 10. |

🏆 Who will win Aces vs. Tempo?
I predict the Aces to win by 10 against the Tempo on Monday. Las Vegas has been better on the road than at home, posting a 10-3 clip as the away team. The Tempo, meanwhile, will be without their head coach, Sandy Brondello, who is serving a suspension for her postgame comments about Angel Reese. That has created slight value on Toronto as a home underdog, but Las Vegas should win by a comfortable margin.
Score prediction: Aces 96, Tempo 86
💰 Aces vs. Tempo prediction & best bet
First-half Over 87.5 (-115)
These two teams have been Over machines this year, with Toronto clearing the total in 15 of its 23 games and Las Vegas doing so in 12 of its 24 contests. But I prefer the value on the first-half Over on Monday.
For one, the Aces lead the WNBA in first-half offensive rating. They've averaged 47.1 first-half points per contest.
Toronto, meanwhile, ranks 12th in first-half defensive rating. Without their head coach, the Tempo could have even more defensive miscues tonight.
🔥 Best Aces vs. Tempo player prop bet
Jewell Loyd Over 1.5 made 3-pointers (-125)
This is a great matchup for Aces guard Jewell Loyd, who could see some extra minutes if her team plays with a solid lead.
The Tempo rank 10th in the league in defending spot-up shooters, per Props Madness, which is how Loyd gets 36% of her production. They are 14th in defending the left corner, which is one of Loyd's go-to spots.
Loyd has hit multiple 3-pointers in 14 of her 23 games this season, including eight of her last 10 outings. With this Over costing as much as -146 at FanDuel, BetRivers is offering quite the bargain for this prop.
🚀 Aces vs. Tempo same-game parlay
My three Aces vs. Tempo predictions come out to a +525 parlay at Caesars, which is a juicy price for a trio of separate edges. They aren't super correlated, but the game script makes a lot of sense to me. Toronto will have to score enough to keep pace with Las Vegas, which is possible given how these teams have been playing lately.
