Matchup Analysis
Aces enter as massive home favorites against struggling Storm
Las Vegas comes in at 7-3 and a hefty -15.5 favorite with an implied 94% win probability on the moneyline (-1667), underscoring how firmly bookmakers expect the Aces to control this matchup. Seattle is just 3-9 overall and 1-5 on the road, so this is another tough environment for a young Storm group that has struggled to close games away from home.
SourceSeattle leans on guard trio of Hiedeman, Horston and Johnson
Seattle is again expected to start Natisha Hiedeman, Jordan Horston and Flau'jae Johnson on the perimeter, the same guard trio that opened in their most recent game alongside Awa Fam and Stefanie Dolson. That group has length and defensive activity but will be tested by the experience and physicality of Chelsea Gray and Jackie Young, making ball security and composure in the half court critical for the Storm.
SourceFrontcourt spotlight: A'ja Wilson vs. Storm’s size-by-committee
Sportsbooks are hanging aggressive A'ja Wilson props, including over 25.5 points and over 10.5 rebounds, reflecting expectations that she will carry a heavy offensive and rebounding load again tonight. Seattle is countering with a bigger front line built around Stefanie Dolson and Awa Fam, with Ezi Magbegor projected to be available, so the Storm will likely need to send extra bodies at Wilson on the glass to avoid getting buried by second-chance points.
SourceChennedy Carter’s leg issue keeps Aces’ bench rotation in flux
Chennedy Carter is listed as day-to-day with a leg injury and did not play in the Aces’ game on June 6, putting her status in question for this matchup with Seattle. ESPN’s league-wide injury report also flags Carter as questionable for Monday’s contest, so if she is limited or out again, Las Vegas may lean even more on Chelsea Gray and Jackie Young for creation, with Dana Evans a candidate for extra guard minutes if she is fully cleared.
SourceEzi Magbegor working back from early-season foot injury
Ezi Magbegor was initially ruled out 6–8 weeks in April with a right foot injury, but she has since reappeared among Seattle’s available options, suggesting the Storm are slowly reintegrating her into the rotation. With Awa Fam starting and Magbegor projected, Seattle has the option to rotate three true centers, which they may need to do aggressively to keep fresh bodies on A'ja Wilson and manage foul trouble inside.
SourceHigh total of 162.5 points points to an up-tempo, offense-first game
The total is set at 162.5 with the over priced at -110, signaling expectations of a relatively high-possession, high-scoring contest. Las Vegas has the offensive firepower to approach or exceed the 90-point mark at home, while Seattle’s ability to keep pace will likely hinge on perimeter shot-making from Natisha Hiedeman and Flau'jae Johnson and whether their defense can avoid giving the Aces easy transition looks.
SourcePick Ideas
Lay the points with Las Vegas -15.5
Books are making the Aces -15.5 with roughly a 94% implied win probability on the moneyline, which matches the on-paper gap between a 7-3 Las Vegas team and a 3-9 Seattle squad that is 1-5 on the road.
A'ja Wilson over 10.5 rebounds
Wilson’s rebounding line is set at 10.5 with plus money to the over, and facing a Storm team that will likely rely on jump shots and multiple centers who can be foul-prone, she is well-positioned for another heavy workload on the glass.
A'ja Wilson over 25.5 points
Wilson’s scoring prop sits at 25.5 points, and with Las Vegas a huge favorite at home, the offensive game plan should again flow through her in the post and pick-and-roll, giving her a strong path to a high-20s scoring night if the game stays competitive into the second half.
Over 162.5 total points
The game total of 162.5 implies an up-tempo matchup, and if Seattle can be even moderately efficient from three while the Aces’ offense performs to expectations at home, the combined scoring has room to clear this number.
Fade Seattle’s upset chances via Aces moneyline in parlays
With Las Vegas priced around -1667 on the moneyline and implied to win this game the vast majority of the time, using the Aces straight-up as a parlay anchor is a way to express confidence in the result without laying the full -15.5 spread.
