Las Vegas Aces vs Chicago Sky prediction
The oddsmakers favor the Aces to win by a big margin on the road. However, after a close win against the Indiana Fever, the Sky will be motivated to do even better on Thursday. Las Vegas should get the win eventually but it might not cover the spread. While the game should be fairly high-scoring, it shouldn’t cross 171.5 points.
