Aces Face Tempo: Can They Cover Double-Digit Spread?

The Las Vegas Aces, currently holding the No. 3 seed in the WNBA, are set to play the Toronto Tempo on Monday night. This game follows a recent loss for the Aces on July 12 and a break for the WNBA All-Star Game. The Aces have an impressive 17-7 record for 2026, including a strong 10-2 performance on the road, making them favored against the Tempo.

The Toronto Tempo has struggled this season, with only six home wins and a record five games under .500. Their chances are further diminished by the absence of guards Kiki Rice and Brittney Sykes. Toronto ranks poorly in net rating and defensive rating, which will be a significant challenge against the Aces' high-powered offense, led by A'ja Wilson and Jackie Young.

Oddsmakers have positioned the Aces as double-digit favorites, with the spread set at 11.5 points. A key player prop bet focuses on A'ja Wilson exceeding 9.5 rebounds, given her consistent performance and the Tempo's struggles with rebounding. The Aces' road success, coupled with Toronto's recent slide and key player absences, suggests a challenging night for the home team.
