Stephen Nover's WNBA Total of the Month
(WNBA) Aces (LV) vs. Wings (DAL),
Total: 176.50 | 0.00 Over
Result: Win
Total: 176.50 | 0.00 Over
Result: Win
Yes, it's a big total. But it's totally justified. Las Vegas is the best scoring team in the WNBA ranking first in points, field goal percentage and free throw percentage. Dallas has the worst defense in the league, but has five players averaging in double figures.
The spot is right for a high-scoring game.
The Aces drop way down in defensive class after facing the Sky and Lynx twice in their last three games. Las Vegas won't play again until Friday so coach Becky Hammon is likely to let her starters play big minutes even if the score gets lopsided.
Point guard Chelsea Gray is playing better and with more confidence after missing the first dozen games with a leg injury. Gray is a flashy player, who loves an up-tempo pace.
The Wings just played in a 223-point game against the Sparks this past Sunday, winning 113-110. The Wings have surrendered at least 93 points in nine of their last 12 games. Dallas has allowed an average of 99.5 points in two games against the Aces this season.
