Prop Bets: Las Vegas Aces VS Chicago Sky 2025-08-25
WNBA Showdown: Las Vegas Aces (-11) vs. Chicago Sky
Date: August 26, 2025 | Time: Midnight (your bedtime, but for basketball)
The Setup:
The Las Vegas Aces (24-14), riding a 10-game winning streak and a 34-point average scoring margin this season, descend upon Chicago to face the Sky (9-27), who’ve lost 14 of their last 16 games. The Aces are favored by 11 points, with a total line of 163.5. Moneyline? Aces at -599 (implied probability: 85.7%), Sky at +431 (18.8%). If you’re betting on the Sky, you’re either a masochist or have a time machine to fix their offense.
Key Stats:
- Offense/Defense: Aces average 82.8 PPG (3.6 more than Sky) and allow 81.9 PPG (5.9 fewer than Sky). The Sky score 76 PPG (WNBA’s worst) and give up 86.4.
- Rebounds: Aces grab 33.9 RPG; Sky pull down 35.8. The Aces’ height advantage? Not really.
- Field Goals: Aces shoot 43%; Sky opponents shoot 45.1%. The Sky’s offense is so anemic, even a layup feels like a three-pointer.
Player Props to Wager On (Because Why Not?):
1. A’ja Wilson (Aces): Over 25.5 points (+102) / Under (-132). She’s averaging 23.2 PPG this season. Bet “Over” if you believe in miracles; bet “Under” if you’re just here for the math.
2. Chelsea Gray (Aces): Over 6.5 assists (+102) / Under (-136). Gray dishes 5.2 APG. Will she break out or play it safe? Your guess is as good as the Sky’s shot clock.
3. Angel Reese (Sky): Over 13.5 points (-108) / Under (-120). Reese averages 13.5 PPG. The line’s so tight, it’s basically a dare.
The Verdict:
The Aces are here to mathematically dismantle the Sky’s hopes and dreams. A’ja Wilson will dominate the stat sheet like a WNBA Excel spreadsheet, while the Sky’s offense will resemble a team that forgot how to shoot. The total is OVER 163.5 (the Aces’ defense is porous enough to let Chicago score… maybe 78 points?), and the spread? Take the Aces -11 unless you enjoy financial self-sabotage.
Final Score Prediction: Las Vegas Aces 89, Chicago Sky 75. The Sky will retire Candace Parker’s jersey postgame. It’s the only thing they’ll retire all season.
Tip-off: Midnight. Your regret: 3 a.m. 🏀
