The Las Vegas Aces will look to rebound from a disastrous season opener as they visit the Los Angeles Sparks tonight.
Las Vegas came out flat on Saturday, but this team is too good to worry about one bad performance. I’m taking it to cover tonight in my Aces vs. Sparks predictions.
Read on to see my full slate of WNBA picks for Sunday, May 10.
Aces vs Sparks prediction
Aces vs Sparks best bet: Aces -1.5 (-120)
The Los Angeles Sparks come into the new season needing to make huge changes defensively after allowing a league-worst 88.2 ppg in 2025.
They were particularly powerless to stop the Las Vegas Aces, who shredded them to the tune of 94.3 ppg last year.
The Aces got walloped in their opener by the Phoenix Mercury, but one game does not define a season.
They remain the defending champions and have arguably the best roster in the WNBA on paper. With a game under their belt, they'll find a good rhythm to avoid going 0-2.

COVERS INTEL:
The Los Angeles Sparks were fourth-worst in the WNBA last season with a defensive rating of 109.5.
Aces vs Sparks same-game parlay
The Aces' bounce-back performance will be led by A'ja Wilson after a disappointing (by her standards) 19-point, four-rebound performance against the Phoenix Mercury yesterday. Wilson averaged 43.6 PRA against the porous Sparks defense last year and should put in a strong performance tonight.
On the other side of the ball, I can’t ignore Kelsey Plum’s success from behind the 3-point line over the last few seasons. Plum has averaged at least 2.3 made threes for four straight years and will remain a focal point of the Sparks' offense in 2026.

-
Aces -1.5
-
A'ja Wilson Over 38.5 points + rebounds + assists
-
Kelsey Plum Over 1.5 threes
Aces vs Sparks first basket scorer: A'ja Wilson (+350)
Wilson didn’t have her best game against Phoenix on Saturday, but she still scored the first bucket for Las Vegas within the first minute of the game.
Nobody brings in the first basket scorer prop every night, but Wilson is as good a bet as there is in the WNBA, as she gets the ball more than any other player in the league.
She led the WNBA with a 31.4% usage rate last season, and there’s no reason to expect anything different this year.
