Stephen Nover's WNBA Big Ticket Friday - 9-2 WNBA Hot Streak!
(WNBA) Las Vegas vs. Indiana, 07/29/2022 7:00 PM, Score: 93 - 72
Point Spread: 14.00 | -110.00 Indiana (Home)
Result: Loss
The Aces are off perhaps their most satisfying victory of the season beating the defending champion Sky, 93-83, in Chicago on Tuesday. At stake was the Commissioner's Cup, which the Aces won for the first time in franchise history, along with establishing who is the team to beat this season in the WNBA.

It was a monster victory for Las Vegas.

So the Aces can be excused if they take Indiana - the worst team in the league - too lightly. The Fever have lost 12 in a row, a young team clearly in rebuild mode.

The key question here is can the Aces still cover this large of a road number even if they play well below their standards in such an obvious letdown spot?

I say no. Las Vegas is 3-8 ATS the last 11 times it has played a below .500 opponent. The teams met eight days ago in Las Vegas and the Aces won that game by less than this point spread, 90-77.

Indiana has covered four of its past seven games. So the Fever still are trying. They have two talented players in Kelsey Mitchell and NaLyssa Smith. The Fever should be rested and ready having not played since last Sunday.
