Aces superstar C A’ja Wilson leads the league in scoring (28.0 points per game), rebounds (11.3 rpg) and blocks (2.4 bpg). She had 31 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks in a 95-83 win at the Chicago Sky Thursday, while hitting 10-of-19 from the field.
Washington has picked up the pace after a dismal 0-12 start, going 4-2 across the past 6 outings. Like the Aces, the Mystics have covered the past 3 games, while going an impressive 7-1 against the spread (ATS) in the previous 8 contests.

Aces at Mystics picks and predictions
Prediction
Aces 94, Mystics 83
Moneyline
Las Vegas (-1000) will set you back 10 times your potential return, which is a crazy amount of risk for a standalone wager. Even as part of a multi-leg or same-game parlay (SGP), there is just no value including such a heavy favorite. Over the long term it is a losing betting strategy.
PASS.
Against the spread
Take WASHINGTON +12.5 (-110) with the points in this home game at the cozy Entertainment & Sports Arena in D.C.
The Mystics have been on fire against the number, going 7-1 ATS in the past 8 games. They’re also an impressive 4-1 ATS in 5 games as double-digit underdogs this season, including a near-miss in a 94-91 OT home loss against the Connecticut Sun Thursday.
Las Vegas has won and covered a season-high 3 in a row, but it is just 2-4 ATS as a favorite of 10 or more points this season.
Over/Under
OVER 173.5 (-110) is a solid play in Aces games, and it’s been a slam-dunk play lately when the Mystics are involved, too.
Las Vegas has scored 85 or more points in 6 of the past 7 games, while conceding at least 83 points in 6 of the past 7. The Over is on a 5-2 run for the Aces.
Washington has been a meal ticket for Over bettors lately, cashing in 5 straight, and 7 of the past 8 outings.
