Jason Logan likes Young to pick up the slack on the glass for Las Vegas.<\/p>\n Photo By – Reuters Connect. Las Vegas Aces guard Jackie Young.<\/p>\n The Las Vegas Aces enjoyed a mini summer break with five days off before hosting the Toronto Tempo tonight.<\/p>\n Funny enough, Vegas\u2019 most recent foe was Toronto, which brings a skeleton crew to Sin City on Friday. Toronto isn\u2019t the only team licking its wounds, however.

The Tempo have had issues on the glass all year, ranked dead-last in rebound rate.<\/p>\n Young averages 4.4 rebounds but projections sit north of five boards tonight.<\/p>\n Enjoying Covers content? Add us as a preferred source on your Google account A\u2019ja Wilson\u2019s status is up in the air, which has slimmed this spread a bit. Even without the MVP, Las Vegas is rested and ready given a rare extended break to practice this week. Toronto is rolling out a seven-person rotation and travel after a road loss in Seattle Wednesday.<\/p>\n The shorthanded Tempo are back on the court in Phoenix tomorrow. If things get out of hand (which is what this spread says), it wouldn\u2019t surprise me to see Toronto coach Sandy Brondello pull the plug and protect what\u2019s left of her team to fight again on Saturday.<\/p>\n Tempo vs Aces SGP +575<\/a><\/p>\n Aces -13.5 Want more basketball parlays?

The Tempo had only seven healthy bodies in that 88-78 home loss to the Aces last weekend, and could be left with similar numbers tonight, most notably missing size in the frontcourt.<\/p>\n
\nTempo vs Aces best bet: Jackie Young Over 4.5 rebounds +105<\/a><\/p>\n![\"Covers\"](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/1787930899_2_logo.png\"){kind=logo}
COVERS INTEL: There will be ample rebounding chances for Young considering how poorly Toronto is shooting. The Tempo are connecting at the third lowest effective FG rate<\/a> (49.8%) during this 1-14 SU skid.<\/p>\n![\"Add](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/1787930900_880_google-preferred-source-badge.png\"){kind=icon}
