Dallas Wings vs. Las Vegas Aces Players to Watch
Dallas Wings Players to Watch
Paige Bueckers — Guard
Paige Bueckers has been exceptional in her first WNBA season, averaging 19.3 points, 6.1 assists, and 3.9 rebounds per game across 16 appearances while shooting 50.2 percent from the field and 40.3 percent from three. She’s also been disciplined with the ball, turning it over just 1.9 times per game — a number that underscores how composed she’s been running Dallas’ offense. Expect the Aces to make her work for everything, but she’s been at her best against the league’s top defenses.
Jessica Shepard — Forward
Jessica Shepard is one of the more quietly productive players in the league this season, averaging 14.2 points, 11.1 rebounds (8.1 defensive, 3.0 offensive), and 5.6 assists per game on 57.6 percent shooting across 17 games. That assist total is striking for a forward — she’s functioning as a secondary playmaker as much as a post presence. Against a Las Vegas frontcourt anchored by A’ja Wilson, her ability to generate second-chance opportunities will be critical for Dallas.
Arike Ogunbowale — Guard
Arike Ogunbowale is averaging 14.5 points per game through 17 appearances, and her value at the free throw line — 86.8 percent — makes her a constant threat in the fourth quarter when the game tightens up. Her 35.8 percent field goal mark reflects some shot-selection volatility, but she’s a player who can heat up quickly. Teams that give her space late tend to regret it.
Las Vegas Aces Players to Watch
A’ja Wilson — Forward
A’ja Wilson is the best player on the floor Thursday night, and it’s not particularly close. She’s averaging 25.1 points, 9.1 rebounds (7.2 defensive, 1.8 offensive), and 3.2 assists per game across 17 games while shooting 51.9 percent from the field, 83.6 percent from the line, and 42.5 percent from three. That last number — 42.5 percent from beyond the arc — is genuinely alarming for opposing defenses, because it means there’s no safe way to sag off her at the perimeter. Dallas will need a team effort just to keep her from taking over.
Chelsea Gray — Guard
Chelsea Gray is the connective tissue of Las Vegas’ offense. Her 7.3 assists per game lead the team and rank among the best in the league, and she’s doing it while shooting 43.2 percent from three and 90.9 percent from the free throw line — converting at that rate makes her nearly unguardable in half-court situations. Gray has 3.1 turnovers per game, which is the only number worth watching; when she’s clean with the ball, the Aces are nearly impossible to stop in the half court.
NaLyssa Smith — Forward
NaLyssa Smith is shooting 69.2 percent from the field this season — a number that demands attention regardless of role. She’s averaging 11.7 points and 6.3 rebounds per game (4.3 defensive, 2.0 offensive) across 17 appearances, and her efficiency in the paint gives Las Vegas an interior scoring option that complements Wilson rather than duplicating her. For a Wings defense that will be focused on Wilson, Smith’s production from close range is an additional problem without a clean answer.

About the Dallas Wings
The Dallas Wings are 11-6 this season and sitting 2.5 games back in the standings — close enough that every road win matters. Paige Bueckers has given Dallas an offensive identity it hasn’t had in years, and the combination of her playmaking with Shepard’s interior production makes the Wings a legitimate threat on any given night. A win in Las Vegas on Thursday would be a significant statement game for this team.
About the Las Vegas Aces
The Las Vegas Aces are 12-5 and 1.5 games off the top spot in the standings, looking every bit like one of the WNBA’s elite teams again this season. A’ja Wilson is having another MVP-caliber year, and the supporting cast around her — Gray, Smith, and a deep bench — gives Las Vegas the kind of balance that makes them difficult to gameplan against. Home at Michelob ULTRA Arena, they’ll be heavy competition for Dallas.
