I think former Aces (<a class=\"Annotation-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cbssports.com\/wnba\/players\/26678073\/kelsey-plum\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Kelsey Plum<\/a> and <a class=\"Annotation-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cbssports.com\/wnba\/players\/26677938\/dearica-hamby\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Dearica Hamby<\/a>) will want to play spoiler for the Sparks, so I&#8217;m not expecting a complete blowout here. I mention the blowout factor because Wilson only played 25 minutes and scored just 11 points in the Aces&#8217; last game, a 92-61 win over the <a class=\"Annotation-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cbssports.com\/wnba\/teams\/CHI\/chicago-sky\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Sky<\/a>. Wilson is the current betting favorite for WNBA MVP, and she also gets a final chance to put another bullet point on her resume.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Wilson has faced the Sparks three times this season and has scored 35, 13 and 34 points in those contests. That 13 stands out, but it was also a game where she left late in the third quarter with a head injury and shot a very uncharacteristic 2-of-12 from the floor up until that point.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The Sparks are a bottom-four team in the WNBA in defensive rating and points allowed in the paint per game. Those numbers have improved in their September games with <a class=\"Annotation-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cbssports.com\/wnba\/players\/29363055\/cameron-brink\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Cameron Brink&#8217;s<\/a> presence certainly helping, but she&#8217;s still only topping out at around 15 minutes per game. I also don&#8217;t think anyone in the WNBA can stop Wilson. She even torched reigning Defensive Player of the Year <a class=\"Annotation-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cbssports.com\/wnba\/players\/26677824\/napheesa-collier\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Napheesa Collier<\/a> for 31 points on 12-of-15 shooting three games ago.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Imagn Images It&#8217;s the final day of the WNBA regular season, and there are two contests that will&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":122125,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[629],"tags":[4662,74021,74018,74017,74019,74020,8603,8604,8605,6359,49,12189,48,726,24659,1612,2803,631,3460,632,736,729,1611,82,630,8601,19198,19197,8602,8606,16293,27390],"class_list":["post-136299","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-wnba","tag-aja-wilson","tag-aces-spar","tag-aces-sparks-bets","tag-aces-sparks-odds","tag-aces-sparks-pick","tag-aces-sparks-prediction","tag-basketball-odds","tag-basketball-picks","tag-best-wnba-bets-today","tag-betting","tag-ca","tag-cameron-brink","tag-canada","tag-chicago-sky","tag-dearica-hamby","tag-golden-state-valkyries","tag-indiana-fever","tag-kelsey-plum","tag-las-vegas-aces","tag-los-angeles-sparks","tag-minnesota-lynx","tag-napheesa-collier","tag-seattle-storm","tag-sports","tag-wnba","tag-wnba-betting","tag-wnba-expert-best-bets","tag-wnba-expert-picks","tag-wnba-gambling","tag-wnba-lines","tag-wnba-player-props","tag-wnba-thursday-betting"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/136299","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=136299"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/136299\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/122125"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=136299"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=136299"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=136299"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
