The Las Vegas Aces continue to keep pace for a historical WNBA season, and on Saturday, July 22, the Minnesota Lynx will be the latest team to stand in their way.

Las Vegas is currently on a four-game win streak and have only lost two of their 22 contests thus far. Becky Hammon has her team playing elite-level basketball on both sides of the court, and the Aces look primed to repeat their championship success from last season.

Minnesota Lynx vs. Las Vegas Aces: Players to Watch

A'Ja Wilson, Candace Parker, and Chelsea Gray will likely spearhead the Las Vegas Aces offense against the Minnesota Lynx as the reigning champions look to outscore their opponent while also leaning on Parker's defensive versatility to shut down the Lynx.

Wilson is among the best offensive players in the entire WNBA, and her offensive gravity will likely create open shooting and driving opportunities for her teammates due to the Minnesota Lynx having to send double-teams her way.

For Minnesota, the chance of remaining in the playoff race will be a big boost to their sense of urgency, which could allow Napheesa Collier and Diamond Miller to find new gear. Yet, they will still need complete performances from other players within their roster.
