The Las Vegas Aces had a nine-game winning streak snapped by the Dallas Wings in their last game, but they are still favored on Sunday against the Minnesota Lynx.
The Lynx have been hot, winning five straight games to move into third in the Western Conference. The team – led by Napheesa Collier – has covered the spread in all five of those wins as well, and it could again on Sunday.
Las Vegas is favored by 12.5 points, but it's been a much better team at home than on the road this season. The Aces are actually just 3-5 ATS on the road.
Can the Lynx keep themselves afloat in the WNBA Commissioner's Cup standings on Sunday?

Aces vs. Lynx prediction and pick
I actually love the Lynx to cover the spread in this game.
The Aces have not been great on the road in terms of covering the number, and they're coming off a road loss to Dallas. Meanwhile, the Lynx are playing their best basketball of the season.
12.5 points is a massive line, but it seems to be set that high because Vegas had two wins by 20+ points against the Lynx (at home) earlier this season.
There's no doubting the star power of the Aces – A'ja Wilson, Jackie Young, Chelsea Gray, Candace Parker and Kelsey Plum is the best core in the WNBA – but the Lynx have really started to come around with their top four scores all shooting over 40 percent from the field.
Minnesota is also an impressive 8-4 ATS as an underdog this season and 5-4 ATS at home. I'll take a shot on Collier and company to keep this close.
