- The Aces won an overtime thriller against the Fever on Thursday, beating them 86-84.
- Minnesota had their winning steak snapped by the Sparks in a 89-82 defeat at home.
- These two teams last met back on June 13, in a close game that the Aces won 100-97.
The Aces and Lynx face off on Saturday in what should be a stellar clash. Minnesota has looked unbeatable since Napheesa Collier’s return from injury and will look for a revenge win in this one.
Aces Look for Key Victory in Minnesota
The Aces earned another key win against the Fever in Indiana on Thursday. The victory helped them to hold onto their second-place spot in the WNBA standings. Sitting just a half of a game ahead of the 3rd-place Valkyries, Las Vegas is aiming to build on their success for home-court advantage in the postseason. On Saturday, they’ll face off with the 1st-place Lynx in a potential championship preview and important matchup.
Lynx Near Unbeatable with Collier Back
Minnesota lost their first game since Napheesa Collier returned from injury on Thursday, also ending what they had built into a 10-game winning streak. The Lynx were overdue for a letdown game, and it came against the now-rebuilding Sparks. After shooting just 42% from the field and being out-assisted 27-17 by Los Angeles in the loss, Minnesota will be aiming to reignite their offense ahead of this clash with Las Vegas.
Aces vs Lynx WNBA Pick
This should be a sensational matchup between the WNBA’s current top two teams. Last season’s defending champions, the Aces, face a rare challenge as the underdogs in a road trip to this season’s title favorite, the Lynx. With Collier back on the court and the Lynch thirsty for a revenge win, there should be an offensive discrepancy that tips in Minnesota’s favor. Expect them to bounce back and earn this key victory at home.
