Chicago Sky vs. Las Vegas Aces Prediction & Game Preview - August 24, 2023 | WNBA

The Las Vegas Aces will continue their dominant march toward the end of the WNBA's regular season with a contest against the Chicago Sky.

Chicago sits fifth in the WNBA's Eastern Conference, winning 13 out of 33 games so far. However, the Aces have been dominant all season, recording 29 wins in 33 attempts.

As such, the Sky will come into their game against Las Vegas knowing they will need to raise their level of play if they want to make it 14 wins in 34 attempts. The Aces will simply be looking to keep up momentum heading into the final few games of the WNBA season.

In the last meeting between the Aces and Sky, Las Vegas won the contest by a 12-point margin, 107-95. The Sky may want to gain some revenge over the Aces when they play each other on August 24; however, the Aces have been too dominant to confidently bet against them.

Chicago Sky vs. Las Vegas Aces: Prediction

The Aces will be heavy favorites to defeat the Sky in their upcoming game. Chicago's difficulty in stringing wins together throughout the season, coupled with the Aces' dominance, means that the Sky are seen as potential cannon fodder heading into the contest.

Nevertheless, the Aces will need to be wary of complacency. Chicago is more than capable of shocking Las Vegas if they don't come into their game with the right mentality.

Chicago Sky vs. Las Vegas Aces: Players to watch

As usual, the Aces will be relying on A'ja Wilson, Kelsey Plum, and Chelsea Gray. Vegas' trio have been exceptional all season long and will be expected to continue their strong run of form against the Sky. Jackie Young has also enjoyed a stellar season and will be a thorn in the side of the Sky throughout the August 24 contest.

For Chicago, Alanna Smith, Dana Evans, and Kahleah Copper will carry the offensive and defensive load. Copper is the Sky's leading scorer, averaging 18.4 points per game, and will need to be at her best if she is to help her team defeat the Aces.
