Game Details
The Las Vegas Aces (25-14) wrap up a three-game road swing against the Atlanta Dream (24-13) on Wednesday, August 27, at Gateway Center Arena in College Park, Georgia. Tip-off is set for 4:30 p.m. PT (7:30 p.m. ET), and the game will be televised on Vegas 34 and NBA TV.
Playoff Implications
With five games remaining, the Aces have already clinched their seventh straight postseason berth and are battling Atlanta for the No. 2 seed in the league. A win will give Las Vegas the head-to-head tiebreaker over a Dream squad that holds two losses in their first two matchups this season. Atlanta closes with seven games left on their slate.
Recent Form
Las Vegas enters on an 11-game winning streak, shooting 46.2% from the field and 38.2% from three during that span, while holding opponents to 42.2% and 27.8% from beyond the arc. Atlanta is 8-2 in its last ten, averaging 82.1 points, 36.7 rebounds, and holding foes to 71.3 points per game. In their most recent meeting on August 20, the Aces edged the Dream, 74-72, behind 32 points from A’ja Wilson.
Key Storylines
A’ja Wilson sits three rebounds shy of passing Yolanda Griffith for No. 21 on the all-time rebounding list and needs six free throws to move into the top 9 of the league’s all-time free-throw leaders.
Jewell Loyd is closing in on two milestones: 1,352 career free throws made (three away) and 1,000 defensive rebounds (also three away).
Atlanta leads the Eastern Conference in limiting opponents to 77.0 points and 42.9% shooting, but faces a Las Vegas offense that averages 86.4 points on 46.3% shooting over its last ten games.
Players to Watch
A’ja Wilson (LV): Leading the league in total points (807), rebounds (355) and blocks per game (2.2). A frontrunner for both MVP and Defensive Player of the Year.
Jewell Loyd (LV): Dangerous off the bounce, averaging 16.1 PPG over her last ten contests while shooting 47.7%. Closing in on career defensive-rebound and free-throw milestones.
Brionna Jones (ATL): A double-double threat at 12.7 PPG and 7.2 RPG on the season.
Allisha Gray (ATL): Consistent scorer, averaging 19.9 points across her last ten outings.
Injury Report
Atlanta Dream: Jordin Canada (hamstring) remains out.
Las Vegas Aces: Cheyenne Parker-Tyus is out (personal reasons).
Betting Outlook
Atlanta’s stingy defense makes this a low-total candidate; the Dream allow just 77.0 PPG. Las Vegas covers 11-0 in their last ten; they’ve rarely lost once they build momentum. The Aces shoot exceptionally well from deep (38.2% over their win streak), matching up favorably against Atlanta’s 7.5 three-point shots allowed per game.
