The Aces, behind the play of A’ja Wilson, Liz Cambage and Chelsea Gray will pick up the victory on the road against the Sky, but Chicago with Candace Parker neutralizing the strength of Las Vegas in the paint, will cover the number. Final Score Prediction, Las Vegas Aces win but fall short ATS 81-79.
