Las Vegas Aces vs. Washington Mystics Preview
The Aces are having an inconsistent campaign and are currently sitting ninth in the WNBA standings at 9-10. A'ja Wilson is still playing like an MVP, but the team hasn't found its rhythm. It's nearly midway through the season, so coach Becky Hammon needs to dig deep if they want to make the playoffs.
On the other hand, the Mystics also have a record of 9-10, but they are exceeding expectations. Brittney Sykes is having a fantastic campaign, while rookies Sonia Citron and Kiki Iriafen are showing why they are the future of the franchise. Citron and Iriafen have both been named as All-Star reserves.

Las Vegas Aces vs. Washington Mystics Betting Tips
With A'ja Wilson likely out with a wrist injury, the Aces are likely to turn to Jackie Young for offense. Young has an over/under of 17.5 points via FanDuel. Bet on her to go OVER, though the odds are at even -114, so monitor for any changes before the game.
Kiki Iriafen is favored to go UNDER (-122) 11.5 points via FanDuel. Iriafen has not gone over 11.5 points in her last three games. However, Wilson's absence should help her finally break out and score at least 12 points.
Las Vegas Aces vs. Washington Mystics Prediction
The Mystics are favored to get the win because of A'ja Wilson's injury, and the Aces' struggles to score without her. The prediction is a win for Washington, with the total going over 157.5 points.
