If you like your basketball fast and high-scoring, Michelob ULTRA Arena is the only place to look this Tuesday at 9:00 PM EDT. Las Vegas rolls in with a 24-12 record and an offense putting up 90.6 points per night, but they are only laying 3.5 points here because their defense has been playing with fire, giving up 87.1 points per game. A'ja Wilson is putting up MVP numbers at 26.1 points and 9.6 boards per game, and with Chelsea Gray pulling the strings, the Aces shoot a crisp 48 percent from the field. They will need every bit of that efficiency to outrun an Atlanta team that scores 90.1 points per game and defends just a little bit tighter.
Atlanta lands in Vegas with a 21-13 record and a solid 9-7 road split, but their depth is getting tested at the worst time. Brionna Jones is ruled out, and primary playmaker Jordin Canada is a game-time decision, putting massive creation pressure on Allisha Gray to replicate her 19.6 points per game average. While the Dream defend slightly better than the hosts on paper by allowing 85.8 points per game, matching the Aces' frontcourt size without Jones is a brutal ask. With the game total sitting at a lofty 178.5, bookmakers expect a track meet, so lock in your predictions and talk some trash on StreakChat.
