Randy’s Pick
The Las Vegas Aces are on the end of a back to back and this early in the season, this could be a spot where we see tired legs and a team that looks human for the first time. With that said, the Minnesota Lynx haven't looked great at either end of the floor through 3 games, and the Aces are just too loaded. Even if one or two players don't have it going for the Aces, there's enough depth for others to step up. I just don't want to step in front of the Aces with the way they're playing right now. I'll lay the chalk.
