Chicago Sky vs Las Vegas Aces prediction
The oddsmakers highly favor the Aces to dominate the Sky at home. However, all the previous three games between the two teams this season were close, and it could be another competitive matchup on Tuesday. Expect Las Vegas to win but not cover the spread. It should be a low-scoring affair, with the team total staying under 164.5 points.
