A'ja Wilson Drives Aces Vs Wings Rematch After 28.5-Point Run

The aces vs wings rematch arrives Monday with Las Vegas riding six straight wins and Dallas carrying the only road-favorite loss on the Aces' record. A'ja Wilson has powered the surge with 28.5 points per game, but the Wings were the team that last held Las Vegas down at the end of May.

Wilson's 21-Point Game

Wilson scored 21 points on 10-for-24 shooting in that loss at Dallas, and the Wings held her to one offensive rebound. Las Vegas had just 24 points from her in the game at the end of May, a sharp contrast to the production she has put together during the current streak.

The Aces have won six straight to move to the top of the Western Conference. Over that stretch, they have posted a 75% assist-to-field-goal-made rate, a sign that the ball has moved cleaner than it did in the setback to Dallas.

Dallas Frontcourt Pressure

Dallas enters with a rebounding profile that has already bothered Las Vegas. The Wings allow the second-fewest opponent offensive boards and the third-lowest second-chance points, and they limited the Aces to three offensive rebounds and 6.2 second-chance points in the first meeting.

Jessica Shepard was central to that matchup, going for 22 points and 20 rebounds in the previous game against Las Vegas. She also finished the loss to Portland last time out with 14 rebounds, giving Dallas another interior marker to lean on in this rematch.

Injuries Around Bueckers

Las Vegas will again be short-handed with Chennedy Carter and Dana Evans out. Dallas listed Paige Bueckers as probable, while Odyssey Sims is out.

The road numbers point to a tight edge for the Aces: they are 7-1 straight up and 5-3 against the spread as a road favorite this season, with the lone road-favorite loss coming at Dallas on May 28. That leaves Monday's visit shaped by one familiar question — whether Wilson can turn the previous matchup's rebounding squeeze into a cleaner scoring night.
