Read on to get my full WNBA picks.Fire vs Aces predictionFire vs Aces best bet: Fire +12.5 (-115)The Las Vegas Aceshave lost two of their last three games and are 2-4 ATS in their last six overall. That includes an 8-point win over the Portland Fire earlier this month, a game in which the Fire covered as 9.5-point dogs.Portland has done a great job of being a frustrating opponent for even the WNBA’s best teams, forcing 14.6 turnovers per game and averaging 7.6 steals.With Las Vegas scuffling at the moment and the Fire having covered in three straight, I’m taking the Fire at +11 or more. COVERS INTEL: Portland shoots a strong 34.7% from 3-point range. That will keep them in the game against an Aces team that allows opponents to shoot 35.1% from deep, the fourth-worst mark in the league.Fire vs Aces same-game parlayBoth teams have trended towards the Over this year, and those trends have been strong lately as well. The Aces have hit the Over in three straight, and have either scored or allowed 100 points in each of their last four outings.Portland has also hit the Over in four of its last five contests. These teams could easily combine for 190+ points tonight, as they did in their June meeting.With all those points on the board, I’m taking Fire center Megan DiLeo (12.6 ppg) to hit her scoring Over at 13.5 points. DiLeo has put up 15+ points in each of her last three games, and is averaging 14.0 ppg against the Aces in their two meetings this season.She’ll get plenty of usage tonight thanks to her ability to spread the court and shoot from deep, which will be needed to keep A’ja Wilson moving around on defense.Fire vs Aces SGPFire +12.5Over 177.5Megan DiLeo Over 13.5 pointsWant more basketball parlays?

Wilson is averaging 26.1 points, 9.5 rebounds, and 3.0 assists per game, and has averaged 43 PRA in her first two games against Portland.Wilson always scores and will have no trouble dominating the boards against a Fire team with the worst rebounding rate (46.3%) in the WNBA. Wilson should fly Over her PRA total, and I’m happy to lay up to -150 on this market.Ed Scimia’s 2026 Transparency RecordBest bet: 14-19, -6.04 unitsSGP: 4-29, -6.45 unitsPlayer prop: 9-4, +4.66 unitsFire vs Aces oddsSpread: Fire +12.5 (-115) | Aces -12.5 (-105)Moneyline: Fire +525 | Aces -750Over/Under: Over 177.5 (-110) | Under 177.5 (-110)Fire vs A
