Tactical Breakdown
Aces Strengths:
Elite frontcourt led by Wilson
Strong rebounding and shot-blocking
High-volume three-point shooting (9.4 made per game)
Sun Weaknesses:
Lowest offensive rating in the WNBA
Poor perimeter defense (allowing 9.0 threes per game)
Struggles to generate second-chance points
Key Matchup:
A’ja Wilson vs. Tina Charles – Two veteran stars clash in the paint. Wilson’s mobility and rim protection could overwhelm Charles, especially if Mabrey is sidelined.
The Aces are simply too deep and too talented for a depleted Sun squad. Expect Wilson to dominate inside and the Aces’ perimeter shooters to stretch the floor. Unless Mabrey suits up and has a career night, this one could get out of hand early.
