If you are looking for a defensive masterclass, keep scrolling. The Toronto Tempo roll into Michelob ULTRA Arena at 10:00 PM EDT for this regular season clash giving up a massive 93.6 points per game, a defensive generosity that simply will not fly against a Las Vegas Aces squad putting up 90.5 points of their own. Toronto is already staring down an uphill battle with an 11-27 record and a miserable 4-14 mark on the road, and that was before the injury report cleared out their rotation. With Nyara Sabally and Maria Conde both ruled out, the Tempo are short on bodies and completely outmatched on paper against a 26-13 Las Vegas team that is comfortable protecting its 12-7 home floor.
Oddsmakers aren't expecting a nail-biter here, installing the Aces as heavy -13.5 favorites with the point total sitting at 173.5. Las Vegas holds the clear edge in efficiency, shooting 48 percent from the floor compared to Toronto's 44 percent, while also controlling the glass with a 33.5 to 31.6 rebounding advantage. When you couple Toronto's defensive leakage with their depleted roster, covering a double-digit spread on the road feels like a monumental ask.
