Storm vs Aces Prediction
I’m not comfortable laying big numbers with the Aces who have depth issues. The Aces have no bench, and it makes it hard to lay these lines. However, A’ja Wilson is as healthy as she’s been all season by skipping FIBA. The Storm have had issues at home, and they’re extremely banged up. The return of Hiedeman is nice, but the Storm just don’t have the bodies to compete against good teams. I’ll lay the points with the Aces, but I’m not excited about it.
