The Best Same-Game Parlay
Bet: Aces -3.5 AND Under 197.5
- Combined Odds: 1.83 (Aces -3.5) × 1.87 (Under) = 3.42 (≈ 29.2% implied probability).
- Adjusted Probability: 61.3% (Aces cover) × 60% (Under) = 36.8%.
- EV: +7.6% (36.8% > 29.2%).

Why This Works:
- The Aces’ -3.5 spread is a steal at +170 (1.83) given their +10.1 net rating vs. the Valkyries’ -4.7.
- The Under 197.5 is a lock at +187 (1.87), as the Aces have scored under 80 points in 3 of 4 games this month, and the Valkyries’ defense ranks top-3 in points allowed.

Final Verdict
Golden State’s “Slow n’ Steady” vs. Las Vegas’ “Hot n’ Cold”
The Valkyries’ defense and the Aces’ offensive woes make this a cannonball under the total and a spread cover for the Aces. While the Aces’ moneyline is a trap, their -3.5 spread and the Under form a parlay with +7.6% EV—the sharpest play in a game where the chalk is finally catching fire.

Bet it now before the Aces’ “hot streak” (ha!) cools off. 🏀🔥
