The Aces are 23-9 ATS in the last 32 meetings.

Randy’s Pick

You can make a case for the Las Vegas Aces and the small chalk simply because you don’t get these lines with them often. However, the Liberty have won 2 of the last 3 meetings against the Aces, and that includes beating them at home for the Commissioner’s Cup Championship. The Aces are coming off an ugly loss to the Mystics, this is their fourth straight road game, and this is the last chance for the Liberty to make a push for the top seed. Just 2.5 games back from the first seed, a win here makes things interesting down the stretch. Should be a fun one, and I’ll grab the free bucket with the Liberty.
