MVP Showdown Heats Up as Lynx Face Aces in Las Vegas
Alright, let’s talk about one of the biggest WNBA matchups happening today—Minnesota Lynx vs. Las Vegas Aces. This isn’t just any regular-season game; it’s the reigning MVP, A’ja Wilson, going up against the current MVP frontrunner, Napheesa Collier. If you’re a fan of women’s basketball—or just good basketball in general—you’re going to want to pay attention to this one.
The game tips off at 3 p.m. Eastern on ABC, and there’s a lot riding on this. The Lynx come into this game with a dominant 23-5 record, fresh off a high-scoring win against the Liberty, 100-93. Collier was instrumental in that win, just like she’s been all season. She’s averaging over 23 points and nearly eight rebounds per game. She’s not just scoring—she’s doing it all, leading her team both on offense and defense.

Now on the other side, the Aces are sitting at 14-13, not quite as hot on paper, but don’t let that fool you. They’re coming off back-to-back wins, including a solid 89-74 win over the Sparks. A’ja Wilson continues to be the heart and soul of this team, averaging over 22 points a game while leading the squad in rebounds, steals, and blocks. She’s a force on both ends of the floor.
But here’s where things get really interesting. The Aces made a key adjustment in their rotation recently. Jewell Loyd has been coming off the bench while Kierstan Bell moved into the starting five. This small change has had a big impact, especially on Jackie Young, whose assist numbers have gone through the roof. In fact, she had 11 assists last game and 8 the one before. She’s gone over 4.5 assists in six of her last seven games. Bettors are loving that stat—FanDuel’s top WNBA pick for today is Jackie Young over 4.5 assists at -110 odds.
And let’s not forget the last time these teams met—Minnesota absolutely steamrolled the Aces 109-78. But that was in Minnesota, and Vegas was on the second night of a tough back-to-back. Today’s game is in Las Vegas, where the Aces are rested and looking for revenge. The spread’s tight—just 4.5 points—which means we’re expecting a much closer game this time.
Whether you’re watching for the star power, scouting bets, or just love good basketball, this is a game you don’t want to miss. Two MVP-caliber players, playoff implications, and a packed arena in Vegas—it’s got all the makings of a classic.
