This is what to look for today:
Connecticut Sun at Las Vegas Aces
3:00 p.m., Michelob Ultra Arena, Las Vegas
Line: Aces (-6)
money line: Sun (+210), Aces (-260)
Total: 169 points
BPI Earning %: Aces (55.6%)
Best bet: Over 169. These teams have played three times this season, and each has been a top scorer. They have averaged a combined 177.0 points in those matchups, and have scored at least 170 points in all three games. Suns generally prefer to play a slower game that takes advantage of their large attacking area, but Aces are capable of constantly picking up the pace and Suns tend to run with them when they play. Looking for another high scoring matchup to hint at what should be a very entertaining series. –Andre Snellings

Best bet: Under 169. I see this backwards. While the Aces have a talented offense that ranked first in offensive rating and pace during the regular season, and Connecticut’s offense ranked second in offensive rating, both teams also possess strong defenses and that will make it difficult to reach this total. points in Game 1. As both teams are very capable defensively, this should be a lower scoring game than the previous three matchups in the regular season. –Eric Moody
