Aces vs. Liberty Game 2 Prediction
Take A’ja Wilson to fall under 23.5 points tonight. At some point, the talented Wilson will burn me on this prop. But I hit the under 25.5 on her points total two playoff games ago, and again on Sunday afternoon when she scored 21 points in the Aces’ 87-77 loss. Wilson isn’t missing by much, but the fact remains that this number remains too high. She’s scored 24 or more points just once in last four games.
