The Las Vegas Aces will look to bounce back to winning ways after a torrid run so far in the second half of the 2024 WNBA season. They will host the Atlanta Dream at the Michelob Ultra Arena on Friday, as the visitors will look to arrest their three-game slide. Their playoff hopes are minimal, and a loss on Friday further dents any chance of making the postseason.
The Aces will almost certainly make the playoffs, assuming they rack up a few wins over the final stretch of the regular season. They have a series of tough matchups coming up against playoff-bound sides Connecticut Sun and New York Liberty.
A win Friday will do their confidence a world of good. Las Vegas is placed fifth in the overall standings and has 12 losses already — six more than what it lost last season, showing its struggles on defense in recent times.
