After a close victory against the Phoenix Mercury this past Friday in Arizona, the Aces return to Vegas on a hot streak, having won six consecutive games. They are on the verge of claiming the No. 2 seed in the Western Conference. The Aces will face a struggling Dallas Wings team, which has managed to win only 2 of its last 10 games. This matchup marks the final meeting between the Aces and Wings, with the Aces having won their previous three encounters and looking to complete the sweep this afternoon.
Despite their recent struggles, the future appears bright for Dallas, thanks to their No. 1 overall pick, Paige Bueckers. The rookie guard achieved two significant milestones this past Friday, scoring 29 points and surpassing 500 career points, making her the fastest rookie to hit that mark in franchise history. Additionally, with 5 assists in the game, she became the franchise’s rookie leader in assists, with a total of 146 and counting.
Entering today’s game, A’ja Wilson is once again putting up MVP-worthy numbers this season. On Friday, she delivered another dominant performance in the paint, scoring 30 points and grabbing 16 rebounds. For the season, A’ja is averaging a double-double, with 22.3 points and 10.0 rebounds per game.
The Aces are also hosting a significant “Shooting for a Cure” fundraiser in support of the Kay Yow Cancer Fund, with a focus on Triple Negative Breast Cancer. For every three-pointer they make today, they will contribute to raising awareness and supporting programs for underserved women
