Why this play: When two teams combine for nearly 70 boards a game, expect the scoreboard to light up beyond 172.5 points.
Quick read:
Taking the over 172.5 in the Las Vegas Aces vs. Phoenix Mercury game is a solid play because both teams excel on the glass, which means more possessions and second-chance opportunities. The Aces average a robust 36.9 rebounds per game, while the Mercury pull down a respectable 32.1, setting the stage for a high-tempo, high-scoring affair.
Add to that the three-point shooting: the Aces connect on 37.0% from deep, and the Mercury are not far behind at 32.0%. When you have two teams knocking down threes at this clip, defenses tend to stretch, creating more scoring chances inside and out.
The only drawback is that totals can sometimes tease you when a game slows down due to fatigue or defensive adjustments, but with these rebounding numbers and shooting percentages, it’s hard to see this turning into a grind-it-out snooze fest. If anything, expect a game that keeps the fans awake and the points flowing.
