Aces Putting 12-Game Win Streak on Line vs. WNBA-Leading Lynx

The Minnesota Lynx visit the Las Vegas Aces on Thursday night in a showdown between the WNBA’s two top teams.

Minnesota (32-8) owns the league’s best record and has already clinched the No. 1 playoff seed. Las Vegas (26-14), meanwhile, is on a 12-game winning streak — their longest run since joining the WNBA and a stretch that has tied the franchise record.

The Aces Can Win If…

Las Vegas continues to ride A’ja Wilson, who has scored 30+ in six of her last nine games and dominated the boards throughout the streak. With Wilson anchoring both ends, and guard depth keeping the offense fluid, the Aces are tough to match.

Defensive intensity has also been key. During their streak, the Aces have consistently outscored opponents in the fourth quarter, and they’ll need that closing ability against the league’s best.

The Lynx Can Win If…

Minnesota replicates its balanced offense. Courtney Williams and Natisha Hiedeman both posted double-doubles in the blowout win vs. Dallas, complementing Napheesa Collier, who leads the WNBA at 23.5 points per game.

If the Lynx limit turnovers and maintain composure late, they can lean on their past success against Las Vegas and secure a statement road win.
