Aces vs. Dream Preview
The Aces are in the midst of a brutal road trip, and were on the receiving end of a ballsy Sydney Taylor game-winning 3-point shot last time we saw them this past Saturday.
Despite some late-game heroics from A'ja Wilson, who often seems to create the look she wants in late-game situations — in this case, a layup — the Aces were awarded a loss for not defending Taylor adequately enough on the game's final possession.
To make matters worse, the Aces have four games left on this road trip, and all of their opposition are a lot better than the Chicago Sky.
The Aces are in Atlanta tonight, Indiana on Thursday, Minnesota on Saturday, and New York on Sunday.
Meanwhile, the Dream are fresh off a five-game winning streak and an additional rest day, having last seen action this past Friday, where they took care of the young Seattle Storm for a 98-89 win.
Aces vs. Dream Prediction
Taking Atlanta feels like the right side, doesn't it?
Well, I don't know, it's a little too telegraphed for me, suspiciously so. While this could feel like a Dream or nothing spot for some, I'll venture into player props for this one.
Jackie Young hasn't scored 20 in eight straight matchups against the Dream and went 0-for-12 against them earlier this season. Granted, that was in May, but Rhyne Howard didn't even play, and that's somebody Young will see defensively.
I don't love this spot for Young, and don't really love it for offense overall.
Best Bet: Jackie Young Under 19.5 pts
