The Minnesota Lynx (21-4) are quickly becoming the rest of the league's worst nightmare. As the WNBA's best team, they are pulling out wins from left and right.
A wobbly Las Vegas Aces (12-12) team comes to town and will likely be unequipped to take on the mighty force of the Lynx.
My Aces vs. Lynx predictions have Minnesota winning by a larger margin than the spread suggests.

Aces vs Lynx predictions
My Aces vs Lynx best bet: Lynx -9.5 (-112 at FanDuel)
The Minnesota Lynx have come out of the gate swinging and are showing no signs of slowing down. Currently atop the WNBA standings, they find themselves creating separation with a 3.5 game lead over the defending champion New York Liberty.
Minnesota has won four out of its last five games, and those four victories have come in double-digit deficits. I have my sights set on that being a result tonight over the Las Vegas Aces.
Napheesa Collier has been blowing it out of the water with making her case for MVP — the All-Star game may have foreshadowed what's to come for the league's leading scorer as she leads the pack with an average of 23.0 points per game.
Though Aces star A'ja Wilson stands right behind her, sporting 22.3 ppg, Las Vegas hasn't been able to measure up to expectations this season. All the more, they're nowhere near the caliber of the Lynx.
Minnesota has looked like a thorough team all season, and I'm taking Collier & Co. to assert their dominance at home over the lowly Aces.
The current spread stands at -9.5 for Minnesota, but I'm laying the points with the favorites to win by a wider margin.
Las Vegas will be too overwhelmed and under-womaned to keep up tonight.
Aces vs Lynx same-game parlay (SGP)
Lynx -9.5
Courtney Williams to Score 15+ points
A'ja Wilson to Score 20+ points
The All-Star hype has finally simmered down. For fans of the StudBudz — the entertaining duo of Courtney Williams and Natisha Hiedeman — that's a sobering realization.
But for Lynx fans, that's a relief because it's time for Williams to get back into her bag. A Birkin one, at that. The Minnesota standout guard came back from the break with a low-key 10-point performance against the Chicago Sky.
All-Star festivities obviously caught up to her and could explain her shooting 3-for-11 on 27.3 percent from the field that night. Not what the Lynx expect out of her.
Since Minnesota hasn't played since Tuesday, rest has been acquired, and Williams should be back on her good foot. She's also been known to perform well against the Aces — a 20-point performance while facing them in June can attest to that.
Meanwhile, A'ja Wilson has been on a heater since returning from her wrist injury earlier this month. From registering 34, 37, 24, and 20 points in her last four games since her return — let's not forget to mention there's been three double-doubles out of those four as well — Wilson has put the team on her back all season, and tonight won't be any different.
Expect another monster performance from Vegas' silver lining player.
