Sky vs. Aces Prediction
Take Angel Reese to go under 13.5 rebounds (-138). Reese pulled down 16 rebounds against the Liberty but she also played 36 minutes. When the Sky play Reese 35 or more minutes in one game, she’s usually held to under those minutes in her next contest. For example, she played 36 minutes against Indiana on June 23, then 31 against Las Vegas on June 27. She played 36 minutes at Atlanta on July 2, followed by 31 minutes at Seattle in July 5. Reese played 40 minutes on July 7, followed by 30 against the Dream on July 10.
Thus, after Reese played 36 minutes versus New York in her last game, I expect she’ll play roughly 30-31 minutes tonight, which would limit her opportunities to post big numbers. Thus, I see her falling under the total.
