Playoffs in Air for Wings?
Dallas is participating in the WNBA’s version of musical chairs, as in too many back-end teams trying to squeeze into too few back-end berths in the postseason, The Wings have won their last couple, surprising the defending-champion Sky in Chicago last out. This isn’t a great team on offense, the third-worst shooting percentage (42.8%) in the league.
Guard Arike Ogunbowale is averaging 19.9 points (third in league), 3.3 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 1.5 steals per game.

Aces vs Wings Prediction
It’s difficult to imagine the Dallas Wings being competitive when they’re the inferior team, but they did take down the defending champs in their latest outing. Both team need this game, albeit for different reasons.
We don’t like the Dallas Wings to do much in this game. It shouldn’t be that competitive. Las Vegas is 14-6-2 against the spread in their last 22 road games against Dallas.
The WNBA spread is a little too light in this one. The Las Vegas Aces win by double digits in (suburban) Dallas.
