This game between the Las Vegas Aces and the Minnesota Lynx feels like it should be a massive clash. The old power in the West vs. the new. The MVP last year in A’ja Wilson vs. the MVP runner-up in Napheesa Collier. Unfortunately, it’s not the game it should be.
A’ja Wilson has been ruled out for this contest. That puts a huge damper on things. Even if she was playing, there’s a massive gulf between these teams. Cracks showed last year for the Aces after two straight titles; those cracks have broken wide open this year. They have so many questions so answer, and missing the MVP only makes things worse.
Napheesa Collier and the Lynx have far fewer questions to answer. At 10-1, they’re building a strong lead in the Western Conference. The quest to go back to the WNBA Finals seems well underway. Collier’s quest to bring home an MVP is going smoothly as well; Minnesota’s superstar is at -400 to win the award going into Tuesday.
The Lynx are 13-point favorites at home and are -900 on the Moneyline on DraftKings Sportsbook. The total is set at 161.5 points. Let’s look at the best prop bets for Collier in this contest.
Best Napheesa Collier Prop Bet
Napheesa Collier 37+ Points + Rebounds + Assists (-130)
Collier has gone over this line in three straight games. That is highlighted by her last game against the Sparks, where she recorded 32 points, eight rebounds, and six assists on 13-of-16 shooting. She’s at a preposterous level of efficiency at the moment.
This Las Vegas defense is better than the Sparks defense, but not by much with Wilson on the sidelines. I’m not sure if anyone can stop Phee from Pheasting in this game. The last time I wrote about her, I took her under. I won’t make that mistake again.
