The Chicago Sky will face the Las Vegas Aces at T-Mobile Arena in Nevada on Tuesday. This exciting matchup will pit two of the game's top rebounders against each other, with WNBA MVP favorite A'ja Wilson set to face off against rising star Angel Reese.
The Aces boast one of the most star-studded rosters in the league with four players selected to the USA women's Olympic team. Las Vegas has struggled over the last few weeks with an underwhelming 4-4 record in their last eight games. They currently sit fourth in the WNBA standings with a 20-12 record.
After a strong start to the year, the Chicago Sky is slumping at the worst possible point of the season. The team has lost six straight games and is 2-8 in their last ten. Chicago remains in the playoff picture and is holding on to the eighth spot with an 11-21 record.
