Lynx vs. Aces Odds & Betting Predictions - August 22, 2024

I’m okay at 8.5 here too. The Aces take on the Lynx in a game where the Aces have the opportunity to close the gap between themselves and the 2/3 part of the bracket. As a result of that, I expect to see a bit more Chelsea Gray. Gray’s minutes fluctuate pretty heavily on a game-to-game basis, but they always spike in games the Aces deem important. This is one they “need” to avoid the 4 seed and an early matchup against the Liberty in the Playoffs. Gray has hit this line in 50% of games this year but when she plays at least 20 minutes it spikes to 64% and she averages 9 ppg. Looking at the historical head-to-head matchups, she has exceeded 7.5 points in 8/8 vs the Lynx since 2022 while averaging 15.4 points in 30.4 minutes per game. The Lynx’s defense is top notch, but this is a game where I expect Gray to rise to the occasion.
