Atlanta Dream (21-13) at Las Vegas Aces (24-12) — Game Preview
The Atlanta Dream (21-13) travel to Michelob ULTRA Arena to face the Las Vegas Aces (24-12) on August 18, 2026, with both clubs jockeying for playoff seeding down the stretch. Las Vegas has the sharper shooting night to night, hitting 48% of its shots as a team compared to Atlanta’s 43%, even though the Dream have out-rebounded opponents at a 35.4 per-game clip against the Aces’ 33.4. A’ja Wilson anchors the Las Vegas frontcourt at 26.1 points and 9.6 rebounds per game on 52.3% shooting, giving the Aces an interior scoring threat that shapes everything Atlanta tries to do defensively.
Atlanta counters with Allisha Gray, who is averaging 19.6 points per game on 46.3% shooting from the floor and has become the Dream’s primary scoring option. Angel Reese adds a physical rebounding presence on that same Atlanta roster, pulling down 12.1 boards per game split between 7.0 on the defensive glass and 5.1 on the offensive end, while Las Vegas point guard Chelsea Gray runs the offense at 7.1 assists per game. Guard Jordin Canada is listed as day-to-day for Atlanta with an illness heading into this one, a detail worth tracking given her 7.5 assists per game pace the Dream’s ball movement.

Players to Watch: Atlanta Dream vs. Las Vegas Aces
Atlanta Dream
Allisha Gray — G. Gray leads Atlanta’s scoring at 19.6 points per game, connecting on 46.3% of her field-goal attempts to keep the Dream offense efficient in the half court and in transition. She’s a reliable option from the free-throw line as well, knocking down 78.5% of her attempts when Atlanta needs points late.
Jordin Canada — G. Running the point for Atlanta, Canada distributes 7.5 assists per game while committing just 2.7 turnovers, a ratio that keeps the Dream’s offense flowing through her for 31.5 minutes a night. She’s listed day-to-day with an illness heading into this matchup, a detail worth watching for how Atlanta manages her workload against a deep Las Vegas roster.
Angel Reese — F. Rebounding is where Reese does her damage, pulling down 12.1 boards per game split nearly evenly between 7.0 on the defensive glass and 5.1 on the offensive end. That offensive-rebounding total ranks among the more aggressive marks on either roster, giving Atlanta extra possessions to work with.
Las Vegas Aces
A’ja Wilson — C. Wilson paces Las Vegas at both ends, averaging 26.1 points and 9.6 rebounds per game while shooting 52.3% from the field, numbers that make her the focal point of the Aces offense. Her 85.7% clip from the free-throw line means fouling her rarely slows Las Vegas down, and her 7.7 defensive rebounds per game anchor the glass against Atlanta’s frontcourt.
Chelsea Gray — G. The Aces lean on Gray to set the table, and she delivers 7.1 assists per game against 2.9 turnovers across 33.3 minutes a night. That assist total keeps the ball moving through a Las Vegas offense built to get Wilson easy looks inside.
