The reigning champions Las Vegas Aces rock up to Wintrust Arena on Sunday, with both them and the Chicago Sky looking to set the record straight after suffering a pair of losses.
Angel Reese and Co. have no choice but to play with their hearts on their sleeves to get a positive result. The Sky (11-17) need to win a few games to keep their postseason hopes alive, with the Atlanta Dream (10-18) and Washington Mystics (7-22) eager to gain an edge in the race for the last playoff spot.
The Aces, on the other hand, remained inconsistent this season, still basking in the rich vein of form of A’ja Wilson and Jackie Young. The last five outings rather encapsulate that in a nutshell, with the team winning only one.

The Aces (17-11) were deemed to be already up in the standings by many, but the Minnesota Lynx (22-8) and Seattle Storm (18-10) have put the pressure on them in the standings. A sweep against the Sky would almost certainly banish any concerns about their poor form.
Las Vegas has won eight of the last 10 meetings against Chicago, with this season's two clashes already split with one win apiece and two more to go.

Las Vegas Aces vs. Chicago Sky: Players player to watch
Angel Reese and A’ja Wilson
Sky rookie Angel Reese is known for one thing: dominant double-doubles. That could cause havoc against the Aces' defense, which has failed to live up to the standard recently. While Reese's leadership and ability to contribute on both ends of the court are crucial for the Sky's playoff aspirations, they'll need strong performances from other players to secure a win on Sunday.
Meanwhile, the most obvious threat for the Aces’ is A’ja Wilson, who, along with Jackie Young, is part of the deadliest duo in the WNBA.
Currently, Wilson is the team's leading scorer, averaging 26.8 points per contest, while Jackie Young leads in assists with 5.2 per game. Both players will be looking to contribute significantly and make an impact in what promises to be an exciting matchup.
