Picks and Predictions for New York Liberty vs Las Vegas Aces
The likely winner from the third matchup of the 2025 WNBA regular season between the Las Vegas Aces and the New York Liberty is the former. The biggest factor for this pick is that the Aces will be heading into the game with a four-game winning streak, capped off by their superstar in A’ja Wilson’s historic 30-point, 20-rebound performance in their 94-86 win over the Connecticut Sun.
Sabrina Ionescu and the New York Liberty are coming off a home 83-71 loss to the Minnesota Lynx, whom they defeated in last year’s WNBA Finals. As of writing, they are also playing in an away game against the LA Sparks, meaning they will face the Aces in the second half of a back-to-back away game schedule. This increases the chances of the Aces bringing their A-game against the Liberty on Wednesday.
