Las Vegas enters as a heavy favorite, and with good reason. While their season has had ups and downs, the Aces have found momentum, aided by Jewell Loyd thriving in a bench role during their three-game winning streak.

The Sun haven’t had much to celebrate this year, but they’ll debut a new piece on Sunday: former Washington Mystics forward [player name missing in original text] will suit up for the first time after being acquired in a trade that sent out Jacy Sheldon and 2026 first-round pick swap rights.

Still, the odds tilt toward Las Vegas. The Aces have already beaten Connecticut three times this season by margins of 25, 26 and 18 points.
