Check out The Post’s Doug Kezirian’s favorite bet for Game 2 of the WNBA Finals.
Game 1 of the WNBA Finals lived up to the pre-series hype, coming down to the final possession that also decided the betting outcome.
The Las Vegas Aces hung on to defeat the Phoenix Mercury, 89-86, as the point spread toggled between three and 3.5 points.
The Aces are again three-point home favorites in Game 2 with the total now 164.5, after the series opener flew over 161. This is the first best-of-seven series in league history.
I do think the Mercury are fairly likely to bounce back and play with more desperation. I backed the underdog in Game 1 and lean that way for this rematch.
However, given the Aces did not play that well and trailed nearly the entire way, I do think there is a decent chance they regress to the mean and play more efficiently and consistently.
