Sparks vs. Aces Prediction, Spread, Over/Under – Saturday, May 23

After scoring just 66 points in the season opener, the Aces have enjoyed a major uptick in scoring, averaging a league-high 97.3 PPG over their last four games. The defending champs scored a season-high 105 points in their first meeting with the Sparks on May 10.

Defense has been perhaps the main problem for Los Angeles, as it concedes a league-high 96.2 PPG. The Sparks’ defensive struggles have overshadowed a strong offensive output over the first five games.

Los Angeles ranks among the top five offenses in PPG, just under the Aces with 89.6. Both teams rank in the top three in field goal percentage, but Las Vegas has the much stronger defense.

Becky Hammon’s squad has gotten back to playing championship-level defense throughout its win streak, holding opponents to the lowest field goal percentage in the league. The Sparks shot just 37.2% from the field the first time these teams met, which was 12.0% below their season average.

Reigning MVP A’ja Wilson continues to lead Las Vegas on both sides of the ball, averaging a league-high 25.0 PPG while ranking second in blocks per game with 2 denials per contest. The Sparks have leaned on eight-year vet Kelsey Plum, who's off to a scorching start with 24.6 PPG (second-most in the WNBA).
