Las Vegas Aces vs Connecticut Sun preview
The Connecticut Sun have been on a great run this season, as they boast a 27-10 record, which is behind only the best record of the season held by the Minnesota Lynx (28-9).
Although the Aces beat them in their last meeting, the Sun remain a tough team to beat.
They are on a three-game winning streak, while the Las Vegas Aces have been getting their winning rhythm back after a rocky season. Other players on the squad have also stepped up, lifting some burden off the shoulders of A'ja Wilson.
However, it's still an A'ja Wilson show, as a dominant performance by her on the court most certainly guarantees a win for her team. The Aces are also coming off two consecutive wins over the Indiana Fever, who have looked unstoppable since the international break.
Moreover, the home arena is set to provide them with an advantage over their opponents on Sunday.
Las Vegas Aces vs Connecticut Sun Prediction
Bookmakers have predicted the Las Vegas Aces to emerge victorious. Given the great form of Wilson and her teammates against the Fever, the Sun can expect to face some tough competition.
