Las Vegas Aces vs. Seattle Storm: Players to watch
The Aces will continue to lean on their impressive core of A'ja Wilson, Kelsey Plum, Chelsea Gray, and Jackie Young. The quartet has been phenomenal for Las Vegas all season and is the primary reason why the team looks set to retain their crown as WNBA champions.
A'ja Wilson is the Aces' best player, blending electric scoring with dominant rebounding, and will come into the game against Seattle on the back of a 26-point, 11-rebound night.
The Storm will lean on the impressive Jewell Lloyd to lead their offense, along with Sami Whitcomb and Ezi Magbegor. Jordan Horston will also be expected to have a big performance following an impressive showing in her last game against the Los Angeles Sparks.
Nevertheless, it will be Jewell Lloyd who has the biggest hand in the Storm's offense against Las Vegas, as she will be doing everything to help her team record a shock win.
