The Las Vegas Aces have already lost nearly as many games this season (four) as they did all last season (six), impacted by key injuries and a bit of a championship hangover after winning back-to-back titles.
Despite these setbacks, they remain the consensus favorites to three-peat in 2024.
The Aces’ minor stumbles are not a major concern, as they continue to be one of the most efficient and well-rounded teams on both ends of the court.
Under the leadership of WNBA MVP favorite A’ja Wilson, who is having another stellar year, the Aces possess ample depth and firepower to bounce back from a lackluster first month.
There are two perspectives on the New York Liberty’s performance through 13 games this season.
From a bettor’s viewpoint, the team’s 5-8 ATS record may not be ideal, but the potential to cover large spreads is a promising factor that can keep the optimism high.
However, from a fan or club perspective, the 11-2 start is impressive, and the Liberty’s defense has shown notable improvement.
They recently delivered Connecticut its first loss of the season and will enjoy nearly a week of rest before their June 15 finals rematch with the Aces.

Connecticut Sun
We have yet to focus much on the Connecticut Sun this season, but their impressive start has garnered attention.
Under the leadership of MVP runner-up Alyssa Thomas, the Connecticut Sun stand alone as the sole undefeated team in the league, a fact that should pique the interest of any basketball fan.
Through ten games, they boast the fourth-best offensive rating (102.4), the best defensive rating (89.1), and the highest net rating (+13.3).
Remarkably, they are just the seventh team in league history to start a season 9-0.
While four of those wins have been by four points or fewer, the Sun’s unbeaten record remains intact. However, on paper, they may not match up to the league’s top two teams if everyone plays to their potential.
While the top two teams in the title odds may not be at their peak right now, the Sun are.
If they can maintain this level of play into the playoffs, they have the potential to be a formidable contender, a prospect that should excite any basketball enthusiast.
