Dream vs Aces Prediction
The Dream are a good team that should view this as a statement game, and the crowd should show up. However, the Aces are coming off a last-second loss against the Sky that should have this veteran team motivated. The Aces have also won 9 of the last 10 games against the Dream. Atlanta has failed to cover 9 of its last 10 games. You just don’t get the Aces as an underdog often, and this seems like a good spot for Vegas after a tough loss. Hammon and Wilson should have their team ready. I’ll grab the free bucket.
