Washington Mystics vs Las Vegas Aces Total Over/Under Prediction- WNBA Best Bets

Both the Aces and Mystics have struggled to score. They are among the two of the five teams to score fewer than 80 points per game. Meanwhile, the Mystics (80.6 PPG-opponents) are slightly better than the Aces (81.6 PPG) on the defensive end.

Both teams are similar on either end, and their carbon-copy record suggests as much. We can be in a low-scoring thriller territory if A’ja Wilson remains injured.

Total: Under 159.5 for -105 at BetMGM

Washington Mystics vs Las Vegas Aces Player Props Predictions- WNBA Betting Picks

Shakira Austin O 15.5 Points: Austin is tallying 11.9 PPG this season. However, she has been in terrific form lately, putting up over 17 PPG in the last seven games. I expect her to score at least 16 here, too.

Jackie Young O 19.5 points: Young is averaging a boisterous 17.2 PPG this season, and if Wilson is out, she will be the focal point on offense. She has scored 15 or fewer points in four of the last five games. But I see her exploding for a 20+ points night.

Kiki Iriafan O 8.5 rebounds: The Mystics forward is averaging 8.4 RPG this season, clearing 9 or more rebounds in three of the last five games. I believe she will grab more than 8 boards here.

Main pick: Shakira Austin O 15.5 points at BetMGM

Washington Mystics vs Las Vegas Aces Spread Prediction

The Aces are in disarray. The season has gone haywire. Their record betrays the roster composition. A’ja Wilson’s injuries have also complicated matters. On the other hand, the Mystics have overachieved despite having a couple of rookies as starters.

They aren’t elite, but difficult to fend off on many nights. Overall, we can be in for a close one here. I’d like to take the Money Line on Washington, considering the slight psychological advantage as a young and energetic squad.
