Temi Fagbenle has 8 PPG with 5.3 RPG while Monique Billings has 7.5 PPG with 4.7 RPG as well this season. Cecelia Zandalasini has 9.3 PPG as well this season.

Las Vegas Aces Recap

The Las Vegas Aces come into this game looking to bounce back after being on the wrong end of a 111-58 loss at the hands of the Minnesota Lynx last time out to sit at 14-14 on the year. After this game, the Aces will have the rematch between these two in Golden State before coming back home for a game against the Seattle Storm.

Aces Have Two-Game Win Streak Snapped

Jackie Young has 17 PPG with 4.3 RPG and 4.5 APG as well this season. Chelsea Gray has chipped in 11.4 PPG with 4 RPG and 4.6 APG and Jewell Loyd’s added 10.7 PPG with 3.9 RPG to round out the group of double-digit scorers for Las Vegas so far this season. As a team, Las Vegas is averaging 81.6 PPG on 42% shooting from the field, 32.3% from three and 83.1% from the foul line this season.

Golden State Valkyries vs. Las Vegas Aces Prediction

I’m on the Valkyries and the points here. I just think the Aces continue to be the most underwhelming team in the WNBA this season, and while the maybe it’s just time to admit that they just don’t have it this year. The Valkyries have been a really profitable underdog for much of the season and while they’ve been banged up and have pieces like Hayes and Zandalasini listed as questionable, I still think this is a case of too many points with the Aces. Give me the Valkyries and the points here.

Chris Ruffolo's Pick: Golden State +8
