Las Vegas Aces (22-9) at Minnesota Lynx (25-7) — Game Preview
The Las Vegas Aces (22-9) visit the Minnesota Lynx (25-7) at Target Center on August 8, 2026, a meeting between the league’s top two teams. Minnesota holds a rebounding edge over the visitors, averaging 35.3 boards per game against the Aces’ 34.1, a gap that could shape who controls the tempo. A’ja Wilson leads the Las Vegas attack averaging 26.6 points and 9.8 rebounds per game while shooting 53.0% from the floor and 85.3% at the free-throw line. She’ll draw plenty of attention from a Minnesota club fronted by Olivia Miles, who is putting up 19.8 points and 5.8 assists per game on 50.2% shooting. Chelsea Gray directs the Las Vegas offense with 7.2 assists per game against just 3.0 turnovers, while Natasha Howard handles the interior work for the Lynx with 7.7 rebounds per game split between 4.4 on the defensive glass and 3.3 on the offensive end. Las Vegas will be without forward Cheyenne Parker-Tyus, who is likely out with a concussion, and Minnesota may be missing forward Liatu King due to a coach’s decision.

Players to Watch: Las Vegas Aces vs. Minnesota Lynx
Las Vegas Aces
A’ja Wilson — C. Wilson has been the driving force behind Las Vegas all season, putting up 26.6 points and 9.8 rebounds per game while converting 53.0% of her shots from the field. Her 85.3% mark at the free-throw line means Minnesota can’t afford to send her to the stripe late, and her rebounding work, 7.9 on the defensive glass to go with 1.9 on the offensive end, makes her a factor at both ends of the floor.
Chelsea Gray — G. At the point for Las Vegas, Gray sets the pace with 7.2 assists per game, a number that keeps the Aces’ offense flowing through her hands. She protects the ball well too, turning it over just 3.0 times per game across 33.2 minutes on the floor, giving Las Vegas a steady presence down the stretch.
Minnesota Lynx
Olivia Miles — G. Running the show for Minnesota, Miles pairs 19.8 points per game with 5.8 assists, doing it efficiently on 50.2% shooting from the field. She’s just as reliable at the line, hitting 87.8% of her free throws, and her 3.0 turnovers per game keep the Lynx’s offense on schedule.
Natasha Howard — F. Howard does her work on the glass for Minnesota, hauling in 7.7 rebounds per game split between 4.4 on the defensive end and 3.3 on the offensive end. That balance lets her both close out possessions and extend them, a two-way rebounding profile that pairs well with the Lynx’s guard-driven scoring.
