Aces vs Sky: AI Predictions
Table of Contents
The Sky travels to Las Vegas to take on the Aces today in the last game of the night's WNBA card. See how I used Rithmm to create custom sports betting models to get my AI prediction for Chicago vs Las Vegas.
The Chicago Sky (9-14) are looking to bounce back after a drubbing at the hands of the New York Liberty this past Saturday losing 81 - 67. They will enter today's game a +12.5 underdog to the Aces (16-7) who had a decisive victory against the Mystics on Sunday, beating them 89-77.
This is the second match up between these two teams this season with the Aces taking the first game 95 - 83 in late June. The Sky comes in on two days rest versus the Aces having only one day's rest.
Preview of my Aces vs Sky AI Prediction
The Chicago Sky and Las Vegas Aces meet Tuesday July 16th at Michelob ULTRA Arena in Las Vegas, NV for a 10:00 pm EDT game. It can be seen on Amazon Prime as part of a two game slate as well as on local TV at Silver State Sports & Entertainment Network, Marquee Sports Network and WNBA League Pass.
Las Vegas Aces Preview
Las Vegas returns home looking for their fifth win in as many games. Led by six year veteran A'ja Wilson, the 6'4" Center racked up 28 points and 17 rebounds Sunday along with Kelsey Plum and her 22 points, as the Aces dismantled the Mystics easily in Washington. Wilson has now had 11 games this season with at least 25 points and 10 rebounds, a new WNBA season record.
The Aces allow the lowest offensive rebound percentage in the league and lead the league in points per game (88.9), field goal percentage (45.3) and free throw percentage (84). They rank fourth in three-pointers made with 220 and are third in three point percentage at 35%.
Las Vegas is third overall in the standings and are two games behind the second place Sun.
Chicago Sky Preview
Chicago enters tonight's game led once again by Chennedy Carter and her 16.4 points per game. The 5'9" guard has had a solid season so far, though she was limited to only 7 points in 16 minutes against the Liberty on Saturday. The standout in that game was Marina Mabrey, the 5'11'' guard from Notre Dame who put in 21 points and 12 rebounds in the loss. Angel Reese, whose 15-game double-double streak ended, still has a 17-game streak of 10 or more rebounds, the longest streak in league history, continued her rebounding dominance with another 16 as she leads the league with 12 rebounds per game.
With the loss on Saturday the Sky are now in eighth place in the overall standings and are riding a two-game losing streak. They are also 5 - 5 in their last ten games. Chicago continues to lead the league in rebounds per game with 36.8 and are still third in the league with 8.3 steals per game.
Let's see how this Chicago Sky vs Las Vegas Liberty AI prediction came together.
