Tips and predictions for Suns at Aces

forecast

Aces 82, Sun 75

Money line

Las Vegas (-225) will cost you more than twice your potential winnings. While the Aces have dominated this season and the past few seasons, that’s way too much risk for nowhere near enough reward.

Connecticut (+180) still has a lot to gain as it fights for a better playoff seed. It’s tempting to play the Sun, but not a red-hot Aces team that seems to be their kryptonite.

HAPPEN.

Against the spread

Back LAS-VEGAS -4.5 (-110) at home. The Aces had a 0-9 ATS losing streak from July 12 to August 28, but since August 30 they have turned things around and are now 6-0-1 ATS, including a 72-67 win at Connecticut on September 6 as a 1.5-point favorite.

The Sun have bounced back with three straight wins and three covers, but all of those games have come against teams with a losing record, including a back-to-back game in Los Angeles.

Over/Under

UNDER 159.5 (-110) is the slim one, but go with a Half-unit game maximum.

Connecticut’s Under has a record of 4-1 in their last 5 games and 8-4 in their last 12 games. Under also has a record of 5-2 in the Sun’s last 7 away games.

As for Las Vegas, Under has swept five straight games and is 13-4 in their last 17 meetings since July 10.
