Mystics vs Aces Predictions, Picks & Odds for Tonight’s WNBA Game

The Mystics and Brittney Sykes have done a great job at staying competitive. They're not winning a ton of games, but they're hanging tough. That kind of progress will help cover the spread against a declining Aces squad.

Mystics vs Aces predictions

My Mystics vs Aces best bet: Mystics +8 (-110 at bet365)

The Washington Mystics and Las Vegas Aces have changed a ton since last season.

The Aces have been legitimate contenders year in and year out, but have fallen from grace since moving on from Kelsey Plum to bring in Jewell Loyd.

A’Ja Wilson remains a two-way superstar, but her team’s performance has dropped off significantly on both sides of the ball. The Aces’ record against the spread (5-9) is proof of that.

The Aces have covered in their last two games to snap a six-game losing streak ATS.

Washington, on the other hand, has been successful at covering.

The Mystics are 9-4 against the spread and have covered four times on the road, including as 15-point underdogs in a three-point loss to the Aces earlier this season. Washington’s rookies have helped turn around a team that struggled tremendously last year. 

The Mystics might not win, but they have the talent to keep this game within two or three possessions.

Mystics vs Aces same-game parlay (SGP)

Mystics +8

Brittney Sykes Over 17.5 points

Brittney Sykes Over 4.5 assists

Brittney Sykes is amid a career-high scoring year, scoring at least 20 points four times in seven games this month while averaging 19.6 points overall.

She didn’t appear in Washington’s first game against Las Vegas this season, but is primed for a strong showing on the road. She’s scored at least 20 points in five of the six road games and should be aggressive after her poor showing against Dallas.

Sykes is also her team’s top playmaker, averaging a career-best 4.8 dimes per contest. She’s recorded at least five in three straight meetings with Las Vegas. Those squads were much more defensively sound than this latest Aces iteration.

He stumbled into the iGaming industry a year and a half into his career as a beat writer and traditional digital journalist and never looked back. Now he’s a full-on bettor who regularly wagers on the NBA, Premier League, ATP, WTA, and more. He worked for DraftKings Nation in its earlier days before making a stop as a lead NBA analyst for CBS Sports. Now he produces sports betting radio and covers fantasy basketball to keep him busy when he’s not finding the best edges sportsbooks have to offer.

Ameer is a versatile sports fan who will sit down and watch any competition involving a ball. Basketball is his bread and butter and he's honored to be the world’s top James Harden apologist and/or truther. The Beard was the third-best shooting guard ever at his peak. Nobody can tell Ameer differently. 

Watching sports keeps Ameer busy throughout the year, but spontaneous midweek Karaoke, anime, and outdoor activities with his dog take up the rest of his time.

Ameer’s advice to sports bettors: “Good betting is where value, excitement, research, and timing collide.”
