Defending champions Las Vegas Aces will be expecting a tough battle when they take on one of the hottest sides in the WNBA this season in the form of Stephanie White’s Connecticut Sun on Friday. With both teams experiencing differing starts to their respective WNBA campaigns, the clash is already a mouth-watering affair.
Stephanie White’s side has been impressive as they hold the record of the best defensive and offensive record in the league. All five of their starters average in double figures, with veteran DeWanna Bonner leading Sun's scoring chart with 17.5 points per game.
Bonner and Alyssa Thomas's firepower could be a key factor for the Sun to extend their record to 14-1 against the likes of A’Ja Wilson and Kelsey Plum and more. But this match against the Aces represents more than just another opportunity to showcase their talents; it's a chance to make a statement and prove that they belong among the top contenders.

Aces (7-6) meanwhile are on a contrasting run of results, having only won twice in their last eight games, including a 100-86 defeat to Minnesota Lynx and 90-82 at the hands of New York Liberty. Aces are still far from reaching their full potential, and cannot afford to lose again with the other teams gradually beginning to catch them up.
