Randy’s Pick
The Las Vegas Aces have been a buzz saw all year, and they’re probably not a team you should be eager to step in front of. With that said, the Dream are playing their best ball of the season, and even their recent losses against good teams have been competitive. The Dream took the Aces down to the wire in the only other meeting back in June. There’s also a look ahead spot for the Aces with the Liberty on deck. Lot of points. I’ll take a shot with the Dream and the points.
