Public Betting Snapshot
Public action has leaned toward the Aces after their blowout in Game 1. Most handle is on Las Vegas to cover the number and to win outright. The total has seen mixed action. Some bettors are backing the over given Las Vegas’s offensive explosion in Game 1, while others favor the under. They expect a slower, playoff-style defensive adjustment from Seattle.

News, Notes & Storylines

• Las Vegas came out swinging in Game 1, getting a dominant showing from its star players and taking control early. The Aces’ depth and transition scoring forced Seattle into early foul trouble and rushed possessions.
• Seattle now faces the classic Game 2 pressure of needing to respond at home. Adjustments on ball-screen defense and perimeter closeouts are musts if they want to get back in the series.
• A’ja Wilson carried the Aces offensively in Game 1. The Aces’ ability to attack the rim and generate second-chance points exposed Seattle’s interior issues. If Seattle can limit offensive rebounds and convert early in the shot clock, they’ll make this competitive.
• Expect rotation tweaks from both benches. Look for Seattle to lean on its experienced wings. Las Vegas will continue using its depth to create matchup problems.

Aces vs. Storm Game 2 Prediction

Las Vegas owns the clear edge in matchup quality, depth and form coming out of Game 1. The Aces dictated tempo, attacked the glass, and neutralized Seattle’s primary scorers. That combination is repeatable because it relies on roster construction and bench minutes, not just hot shooting. Seattle will have energy at home, but this is a short turnaround. The Aces are far better equipped to sustain pressure across 40 minutes.

The pick — Las Vegas Aces −5.5 (play with confidence).
This is a strong, play-with-conviction spread lean. If you prefer less variance, consider the Las Vegas moneyline as a secondary option. For a totals angle, the market has tightened around ~160.5–161. The sensible lean is to the under if Seattle slows pace and forces contested half-court shots. However, the primary bet is clear: take the Aces and lay the points.
