Aces vs Wings Prediction
The Aces will be up for this game after not showing up against the Liberty and already losing twice to the Wings this season. When these teams met 10 days ago, the Wings won by 30 points. A veteran championship group will want to put an end to the madness. However, the Aces continue to struggle on the defensive side and especially from three-point land. Only the Mercury are allowing more made threes than the Aces. Well, the Wings have elite scoring depth and head into the contest on a heater. There should also be confidence after already winning the first two meetings. The value is with the Wings and the points.
