The Toronto Tempo are walking into a buzzsaw at Rogers Arena tonight, and that’s putting it kindly. With Marina Mabrey, Brittney Sykes, and three other regulars sidelined, the Tempo are essentially fielding a skeleton crew against a 25-13 Aces squad that knows how to handle business on the road. Toronto’s defensive efficiency is a glaring liability, surrendering a bloated 93.9 points per game; if the Aces find any rhythm, this one could get ugly before the second quarter is even in the books.
Vegas enters as a 10.5-point favorite, a number that reflects the massive talent chasm between these two rosters. While the Aces are monitoring A'ja Wilson’s status—which is the only real variable worth tracking—their 48% team shooting clip should be more than enough to overwhelm a Toronto side that’s been leaking points all season. If you’re looking at that 180.5 total, ask yourself if a depleted Toronto defense can actually force the pace, or if the Aces will simply cruise to the finish line.
