    The Minnesota Lynx (19-8) and Las Vegas Aces (17-9) meet Wednesday at Michelob Ultra Arena at Mandalay Bay Hotel and Casino in the front end of a home-and-home set. Tip-off is scheduled for 9:30 p.m. ET (ESPN). Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Lynx vs. Aces odds, and make our expert WNBA picks and predictions.

    Season series: Tied 1-1

    The Lynx picked up a 100-86 win in Las Vegas as a 7-point underdog in the most recent meeting, while the Over (167) easily cashed.

    In the 1st meeting in the Twin Cities, the Aces posted an 80-66 win as a 4-point favorite as the Under (169.5) cashed. The road team has won and covered the previous 4 meetings in the series, while the Over is 3-1 in the span.

    Minnesota has won 3 in a row, and the Commissioner’s Cup winners are 2-0-1 against the spread (ATS) in the span, while the Over is 2-1.

    Las Vegas picked up an 87-71 win against the visiting Los Angeles Sparks on Sunday, but it just missed the cover as 16.5-point favorites as the Under (173.5) connected. The Aces have won 5 of the past 7 games, but they’re 0-5 ATS in the previous 5 outings. The Under is on a 5-1 run, too.

    Lynx at Aces picks and predictions

    Prediction

    Lynx 83, Aces 81

    MINNESOTA (+205) is worth a roll of the dice for the chance to double up.

    The Lynx have posted 3 straight victories, and the Commissioner’s Cup winners have already won once this season in Las Vegas. In fact, the road team has won 4 straight meetings in this series, including both previous outings this season.

    If you’re a little more on the conservative side, and you can’t bring yourself to back the LYNX +5.5 (-110) straight up, they’re a good bet with the points.

    The Lynx are on a 2-0-1 ATS run in the past 3 outings, while the Aces -5.5 (-110) are on an 0-5 ATS skid in the previous 5 contests. Las Vegas is 5-6 ATS in the past 11 outings at home, too.

    UNDER 166.5 (-112) is a strong play in this front end of a home-and-home set.

    The Under is 7-2-1 in the past 10 outings for the Lynx, while going 13-5-2 in the previous 20 contests. The Under is 3-1-1 in the past 5 on the road for Minnesota, too.

    For the Aces, the total has gone low in 5 of the past 6 outings, too, while going 6-5 in the past 11 at home.
