Chicago at Las Vegas

We were in Chicago at a plus number on Sunday, and Las Vegas still found a way, escaping with a 107-99 win that ate up every bit of a 7.5-point cushion. Kamilla Cardoso answered that loss with a season-high 24 points and eight rebounds, part of a stretch where she's become the first center in WNBA history to put up back-to-back 20-plus point games shooting at least 80 percent. Vegas gets the rematch at home tonight, and the market has stretched the number to 9.5, nearly two points wider than the spread the Aces barely survived four days ago. I don't need Chicago to win this one. The Aces have actually scored less at home this season (89.1 a night) than on the road (91.8), even against a Sky team that's dropped five straight true road games. That gap between the home number and the road number is the case for grabbing the extra points on a line that's moved further than the last result justifies. Back the Sky with the number tonight.
