Here’s what to look for today:
Line: Aces (-4.5)
Money line: Sun (+175), Aces (-210)
Total: 163.5 points
BPI Win%: Aces (55.7%)
Best Bet: Over 163.5. All season, there were fireworks when these two teams met. While they combined for only 131 points in Game 1 of this series, in their three regular season matchups they averaged 177.0 combined points with at least 170 points in all three games. The Sun’s series with the Sky last round was a points roller coaster, with the two teams combining to average 138 points in the odd games of the series but upping that to 173 combined PPG in the even games. I could see similar volatility in this matchup, and this game feels like one to bounce back to the Aces’ typically fast-paced, high-scoring affairs. — André Snellings
Best bet: -4.5. While the Sun were able to limit the number of shots the Aces took and made in Game 1, Connecticut still lost the game. This is by far the fewest points Las Vegas has scored in a win this season. The previous low was 78, also in the postseason. In transition, the Sun outscored the Aces 12-0. Additionally, the Aces went 0-11 on open triples. Las Vegas should be well prepared to counter the Sun’s game plan in Game 2 and bounce back offensively. I like the Aces to cover. — Eric Moody
