It’s been a brutal season for the Las Vegas Aces so far. A’ja Wilson and company are searching for answers.
The Aces have fallen to 5-7 on the season after losing five of their last six. Their only victory in that stretch came against the 3-11 Dallas Wings. The defense is collapsing, the offense has yet to put it together, and they’re fading fast in a competitive WNBA Western Conference. Sooner or later, tough questions will have to be asked.
Wilson’s productivity has suffered as well. In her third MVP campaign last season, she averaged 26.9 points per game on 52% shooting and 32% from three. This year, she’s down to 20.8 PPG on 44% from the field and 24% from three. The Aces go as Wilson goes, and her productivity has suffered as their talent erodes. They’ll have to find ways to unlock Wilson’s game by improving the team around her. But, in this game against the Indiana Fever, no such help is coming.
The Fever are 1.5-point favorites on the road and are -122 on the moneyline on DraftKings Sportsbook. The game total is set at 169.5 points. Let’s look at the best A’ja Wilson prop bet for this contest.
Best A’ja Wilson Prop Bet
A’ja Wilson Under 11.5 Rebounds (-130)
Typically one of the dominant rebounders in the WNBA, Wilson’s rebounding production has declined this year. She’s gone from 11.9 rebounds per game last year to 10.1 this year. Very uncharacteristically, Wilson has single-digit rebounds in four of nine contests this season.
The Indiana Fever have a lot of size to throw around on the boards. Aliyah Boston does work on the glass, and Natasha Howard has brought excellent supplemental rebounding. Their wings and guards love to crash the glass, making life hard on Wilson while she goes for rebounds. Even in a game that should feature a lot of pace, the Fever are well-positioned to curb Wilson’s dominance on the glass.
