Ben Heisler and Donnavan Smoot are back to give you their best bets of tonight’s WNBA slate. 

We went 1-1 yesterday, and look to go 2-0 tonight. There’s only one game on the slate tonight, but it’s going to be a great one. The Aces and Sun, two of the top three teams in the WNBA Finals futures odds, will battle it out in Sin City. 

Let’s get into our picks for the night. 

Best WNBA Prop Bets Record to Date

  • WNBA Best Bets Record: 19-12

Here are the plays our team is eyeing for tonight’s slate with odds coming from WynnBET Sportsbook.

Top WNBA Picks For June 2

  • Sun vs. Aces UNDER 170 (-110)
  • Sun +4.5 vs. Aces (-110)

Sun vs. Aces Best Bets

Sun vs. Aces UNDER 170 (-110)

The Aces showcased their dominance as the WNBA's best team Tuesday night, covering the 3.5-point spread comfortably against the Suns at home.

Both teams rematch tonight in Vegas, as both the spread and total have each moved up; 1.5-points more towards Las Vegas (3.5 to 5), and 2.5-points up from the total (167.5 to 170).

Tuesday's game ended up at 170, and now that both teams had the opportunity to scout each other out, I expect a lower scoring game this time around.

The Aces can get out and score as well as anyone, but it's been the defense that's been their calling card of late. Las Vegas is averaging 78.25 PTS/game on defense over their last four games; two of which have come against top 3 teams in Chicago and Connecticut.

Both teams rank in the top half of the league in the following defensive categories:

  • Opponent points per 100 possessions
  • Field goal percentage
  • 3-point percentage
  • Effective FG percentage
  • Points per scoring attempt
  • Points per play

The line is moving in the wrong direction tonight. Grab the under at an even better number. – Ben Heisler

Sun +4.5 vs. Aces (-110)

The Aces have been fantastic this season and are clearly the best team in the league right now. However, the Sun – despite their pedestrian record – aren’t going to be a cakewalk. Connecticut has the second-most efficient offense in the league and still scores the second-most points in the WNBA. Defensively, Connecticut is allowing the third-fewest points per game and is the third-best team at defending the three-point line. If the Sun can keep the Aces’ threes down, this game can tighten up quickly. 

Although the records don’t reflect it, the stats say this is a matchup of the top two teams in the league. I don’t expect to see the Aces run away with anything tonight. – Donnavan Smoot
