My Tempo vs. Aces prediction explains why you should take the points with the road team ahead of tipoff from Michelob ULTRA Arena in Las Vegas at 10 p.m. ET (ION).
The Aces are 14.5-point favorites tonight as one of the top WNBA championship odds contenders, but I'd be surprised if they are firing at full strength tonight.

🏆 Who will win Tempo vs. Aces?
I predict the Aces to win by 10 points in tonight's matchup against the Tempo. Las Vegas has won the previous two head-to-head matchups with Toronto, including its 88-78 victory on Sunday. This is the largest spread in all three meetings, suggesting the Aces should take care of business despite the context surrounding this matchup.
Score prediction: Aces 92, Tempo 82
💰 Tempo vs. Aces prediction & best bet
Tempo +14.5 (-110)
Tonight's matchup with the Tempo should be an easy letdown spot for the Aces.
For one, Las Vegas is playing its first game without NaLyssa Smith, who is out for the year. The Aces will try to figure out a rotation without her, but their depth is a concern.
In addition, tonight is the Aces' last game before the international break. That matters more to them, since three players are preparing to play for Team USA.
🔥 Best Tempo vs. Aces player prop bet
A'ja Wilson Over 3.5 assists (+136)
With some players earning bigger roles in Smith's absence, Las Vegas forward A'ja Wilson might be motivated to find out who is ready for their moment. Don't be surprised if she makes the extra pass to see which of her teammates can be trusted.
Wilson recorded seven assists on 11 potential dimes in her last game against the Tempo. In two head-to-head meetings with Toronto, Wilson has tallied 11 dimes on 20 potential assists. She's cleared this prop in both matchups.
Toronto ranks 13th in assists allowed, which is probably why Wilson has thrived in this matchup as a facilitator. I like the +136 price tag on her to do it again, especially since it's the best value on the market by a solid margin.
🚀 Tempo vs. Aces same-game parlay
A two-leg parlay of Wilson's assist prop and Toronto's spread has a +334 payout at FanDuel. I see no reason to add a third leg given the variance of this matchup. The Aces will be using a different rotation and might not be as motivated to perform. The Tempo, meanwhile, have been eliminated from playoff contention.
