The WNBA Commissioner’s Cup schedule rolls on Saturday as the Las Vegas Aces (4-2) visit the Golden State Valkyries (2-5). Las Vegas, the winners of last year’s Cup, prevailed in their first contest of 2025, while Golden State is still looking for its inaugural win in this format after a pair of defeats. Online sportsbooks don’t expect that elusive first win for the Valkyries anytime soon, pegging the Aces as massive chalk ahead of this matchup.

Tip-off is scheduled for Noon PT, 3 pm ET at the Chase Center, in San Francisco, CA, with ABC and ESPN+ providing the coverage. Golden State is 1-2 in three home games so far, while Las Vegas is 2-2 on the road.

Aces vs Valkyries Picks

I’m staying away from the spread and moneylines in this matchup, and focusing on the total instead. The 160.5 point over/under seems a bit low, as the Aces bring a strong offense into play, while both teams struggle defensively.

Las Vegas boasts the league’s sixth best offensive rating, led by A’ja Wilson. The 2018 number one pick is top-3 in the WNBA in scoring and second in rebounding. She’s only one game removed from a 35-point effort, and is a career 50% shooter. The Aces aren’t incredibly reliable from the field, but they make up for their lack of efficiency with plenty of volume.

Only two teams produce more shot attempts per game than Las Vegas. They average the third fewest turnovers and aren’t afraid to chuck it from long range. The Aces average 28 three-point attempts per game, shooting 36% from three.

Those metrics, along with below average defense can help them do their part to make this game high-scoring. Las Vegas allows the second highest field goal percentage in the league, and the third most assists.

On the other side, the expansion Valkyries may have the longest WNBA Championship odds, but they play an entertaining brand of basketball. Golden State is top-five in pace, while no team attempts more threes. They’re loaded with young talent like Veronica Burton, Juste Jocyte, Carla Leite and Janelle Salaun, with the ladder leading the team in scoring.

Defensively, few teams are worse, raising the ceiling of the Aces offense. Golden State allows opponents to make 43% of their looks and 39% of their threes, while surrendering 83 points per game.

  • Jewell Young 2+ Threes (-140 at DraftKings)

No Aces player is more equipped to take advantage of weak three-point defense than Jewell Young. The 31-year-old is shooting 41.7% from beyond the arc this season, and her 6+ attempts per game is one of the highest marks of her 11-year career.

Young has splashed at least two triples in four of her past five games, and made 6 threes in a blowout victory over Connecticut earlier this season. With the bulk of Golden State’s defensive game plan centered on slowing down Wilson, I expect plenty of open looks for Loyd from downtown.
