The Las Vegas Aces were second in the WNBA standings last year with a 24-8 record, finishing two games behind the Connecticut Sun. Las Vegas (8-1) is aiming to take the top spot this year and is off to a strong start as it owns a 1.5 game lead over Connecticut (6-2) less than a month into the campaign. The Aces, who are riding a six-game winning streak, attempt to extend the advantage when they host the Sun on Tuesday. Las Vegas is a four-point favorite in the latest WNBA odds from Caesars Sportsbook, while the over/under for total points scored is 167.5.
