Aces vs Wings predictions
A’ja Wilson is coming into this matchup with some serious momentum, fresh off a blistering 34-point outing that has everybody talking. She’s the engine that powers the Las Vegas Aces, so it’s hard not to expect another dominant display in College Park Center. If she keeps finding her groove in the paint and on the boards—she’s already averaging an impressive 9.1 rebounds per game—Dallas might have their hands full trying to contain her. Don’t sleep on Chelsea Gray either; as the Aces’ top playmaker, she’ll likely capitalize on attention sent Wilson’s way, dishing out assists and creating open looks for teammates.
Over on the Dallas side, Paige Bueckers is making a serious impact in her rookie season. She’s been the heartbeat of this Wings squad, leading them in both points and assists. Whenever Dallas needs a bucket, it’s Bueckers who so often has the answer with her crafty handles and poised shot-making. Expect her to challenge the Aces’ defense and keep the pressure on all game long. Myisha Hines-Allen could be a key X-factor, especially if she crashes the glass and helps Dallas control the tempo. When these two get rolling, Dallas suddenly looks a lot tougher to stop.
When you line everything up, there’s a sense that the Aces might just have the edge in this matchup. Wilson’s hot streak, combined with a more experienced core, feels like a recipe for a road win—even against a scrappy, hungry Wings team playing in front of their home fans. Still, if Dallas can get big nights from Bueckers and Hines-Allen, this one could go right down to the wire. For now, though, it’s hard to pick against Las Vegas—especially with Wilson firing on all cylinders.
