The Las Vegas Aces and Dallas Wings will clash for the final time in the regular season when the two meet Sunday afternoon. The teams have met three times already this season, with the Aces taking sole control of the series by winning all three games.

The Aces are 11-point favorites at home and hold -535 odds on the Moneyline on DraftKings Sportsbook. Dallas has +400 odds on the Moneyline of getting the upset while the total is set at 171.5 points. Here are the best bets and predictions for the Aces-Wings game.


Aces vs. Wings prediction, pick

Sunday’s matinee between the Aces and Wings will be the fourth and final regular-season game between the Aces and Wings. Following a pair of closely contested games in which Las Vegas won each by four points, the Aces turned up the heat and defeated Dallas by 26 in their most recent meeting on July 27.

That Las Vegas win kicked off a recent winning surge for the Aces. After the team started off the 2025 season rather slow by the two-time WNBA champions’ standards, Las Vegas has won eight of its last nine, beginning with that win over the Wings. The Aces are on a six-game win streak with their offense starting to shine, averaging 88.7 points a game in that time. Las Vegas has been led by the two-headed monster of A’ja Wilson, who is coming off her fourth double-double in a row, and Jackie Wilson, who is averaging 18.8 points a game in that time.

For Dallas, that loss was just one of many as the Wings look to build for the future around rookie sensation Paige Bueckers. The Wings are just 9-25 this season and 2-8 in their last 10, averaging 81.9 points a game in that time while giving up 89.1 points a game. Bueckers has been an exciting watch, coming off a 29-point outing in Dallas’ 97-96 loss to Los Angeles on Friday to become the fastest player in franchise history to reach 500 points, but the Wings are also without veteran guard Arike Ogunbowale (knee), who is second on the team averaging 15.5 points a game.

Even if Ogunbowale was playing, the Wings would still have a lot of their plate with this Aces team surging at the right time. Ogunbowale led the team with 18 points the last time these two played when Dallas lost by 26. Las Vegas is on a roll right now and has the chance to play itself into a top-three seed if it continues to play as strong as it has been to end the season. With how different these two teams have looked lately, the Aces should have no problem covering at home, where they are 11-5.

Top Pick: Las Vegas Aces -11 (-105)
