Randy’s Pick
I considered the Dallas Wings and the points because they’re at home and their season is on the line. However, the Las Vegas Aces have been mighty comfortable in this series, they’re the head and shoulders better side and this is a line you don’t get with them often. We’re used to seeing the Aces as double-digit favorites. So while I’ll be rooting for the Wings to extend the series simply for more basketball, I have to lay the chalk with the Aces.
