The Aces are a far cry from the team that won back-to-back titles just two seasons ago.
Becky Hammon's team is barely keeping its head above water at 14-13 and just got blown out by the Lynx last week. Despite A'ja Wilson still being one of the best players in the W, pulling off an upset of Minnesota is a big ask.
Napheesa Collier and Co. have already beaten Vegas twice this season, winning by double digits in both outings. I have Minnesota winning again in my Lynx vs. Aces prediction, this time by a score of 85-75.

While the Aces have shown some life recently with double-digit wins over the Dallas Wings and Los Angeles Sparks, those are two of the worst teams in the WNBA. The Wings and Sparks have a combined 19-35 record, with fewer wins than the Lynx's league-leading 23. Those two also have losing records against the spread, as does Las Vegas (11-16), while Minnesota has the second-best ATS record in the W at 16-11-1.
The Lynx have covered in both their outings against the Aces this season, as 9.5 and 13-point favorites, behind the most well-rounded roster in the league. Minnesota tops the W in average point differential (plus-10.4), net rating (plus-13.4), offensive rating (111.8), and defensive rating (98.4). The Aces just don't have the talent to slow Napheesa Collier, Kayla McBride, and Courtney Williams down.
With a defense that's in the back half of the league in rating (105.0) and an offense that isn't much better (104.2), Vegas could find itself in trouble yet again. The Lynx have outscored the Aces 185-140 this season.

Collier has gone Over 22.5 points in 16 of 25 games this season (64%), including three straight. The last time she played the Aces, the UConn product put up 25 points in just 26 minutes while shooting 58.3% from the floor.
