The Aces are on a 15-game winning streak, and looking to complete a rise from eighth in the standings to second with one more win before the postseason. Mid-season addition NaLyssa Smith and offseason additions Jewell Loyd and Dana Evans have all proved to be crucial pieces in this second-half surge, but the linchpin of the operation is three-time MVP A’Ja Wilson, who could be taking home a fourth award for her work this season. She leads the league in scoring (23.4 points), rebounds (9.9), and blocks (2.3) while also provided 3.0 assists and 1.6 steals (tied for second in the league) per game.
The Sparks are 21-22 and were the last team to be eliminated from postseason contention. In her first season away from the Aces organization, All-Star Kelsey Plum posted 19.6 points and 5.7 assists per game while also making 2.3 3-pointers, all marks that are top five in the league. A pair of early September losses to the Atlanta Dream, who are competing with the Aces for the second seed, proved to be too much for Los Angeles to overcome as the squad won its next two games, but needed too much help and couldn’t catch either the Seattle Storm or Indiana Fever, two teams the Sparks own the tiebreaker against. Las Vegas will face either the Storm or Fever in the first round.
