The Dallas Wings wrap their two-game road trip with a visit to Nevada on Friday night with a battle against the Las Vegas Aces at Michelob ULTRA Arena. This is set to be the first matchup of the Commissioner’s Cup between the two bottom-ranked teams in the Western Conference.
Paige Bueckers and the Wings have had a forgettable start to the season, managing one win in 11 games. Since their 109-87 triumph over the Connecticut Sun on May 27, they have been on a six-game losing streak — four of those coming in the Commissioner’s Cup.
The Aces, meanwhile, despite boasting a star-studded roster led by reigning MVP A’ja Wilson, haven’t lived up to expectations either. Las Vegas holds a 4-4 overall record and is 1-2 in the Commissioner’s Cup, with their latest losses coming against the Golden State Valkyries and the Los Angeles Sparks.
Trending
Becky Hammon's team showed more determination in their most recent game — a 97-89 loss on June 11 — compared to their 95-68 blowout defeat to Golden State. Jackie Young and Chelsea Gray’s combined 62-point effort was one of the biggest positive takeaways for them.
Although the Aces enter Friday's game with several key players on the injury list, they will be favored to secure a win and improve their Commissioner’s Cup record to .500.
