A\u2019ja Wilson 40+ Points + Rebounds (+135)<\/a><\/p>\nWith all due respect to Chelsea Gray and Jackie Young, who are having fine seasons in their own right, the Aces\u2019 10-game winning streak has been a hard Wilson carry job, as her numbers across that span \u2014 27.0 points and 13.1 rebounds per game on 50-40-90 shooting splits, with four 30-point performances in her last five games \u2014 are downright mythical. She still has by far the most extreme on-off splits of any player with more than 100 minutes this season, as Las Vegas has been an eye-popping 27.4 points per 100 possessions better with her on the court than off. <\/p>\n
Chicago\u2019s defense should be no match for her. The Sky have been by far the league\u2019s worst team since the All-Star break, posting just a 2-12 record and a negative-18.0 net rating across that span, and though All-Star forward Angel Reese\u2019s three-week absence with a back injury didn\u2019t help, Chicago has still had the league\u2019s second-worst defensive rating since her return on August 19. To be fair, the Sky have controlled the glass with or without Reese \u2014 six-foot-seven center Kamilla Cardoso has averaged 9.9 boards per game since the All-Star break \u2014 but their porous defense should allow Wilson to rack up points regardless. Since the All-Star break, Chicago has allowed the second-most points in the restricted area, where Wilson has made 72.1% of her shots.<\/p>\n
The main risk is that the score will be lopsided and Wilson won\u2019t play enough minutes to reach 40 combined points + rebounds. However, that won\u2019t necessarily stop her, given that she\u2019s been the most efficient per-minute scorer and seventh-most efficient per-minute rebounder in basketball this season and has posted easily the league\u2019s highest usage rate across the 10-game win streak. She played just 30 minutes in a 106-87 win over the Dallas Wings on August 17 and recorded 34 points and eight rebounds. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Griffin Wong details his top A\u2019ja Wilson prop bet for tonight\u2019s Aces-Sky game.
