Players to Watch: Minnesota Lynx vs. Las Vegas Aces
Minnesota Lynx
Olivia Miles — G. Miles runs the Minnesota offense as its leading scorer and distributor, putting up 19.8 points and 6.1 assists per game while shooting 49.6% from the floor. She backs that up at the line, converting 87.3% of her free throw attempts across 31.0 minutes a night. Her 19.8 points per game top the Lynx’s group of players featured here, just ahead of Kayla McBride’s 18.4.
Natasha Howard — F. Howard controls the glass for Minnesota, pulling down 7.7 rebounds per game split between 4.4 on the defensive end and 3.4 on the offensive glass. That offensive-rebounding rate gives the Lynx extra chances at the rim in a matchup against a deep Las Vegas frontcourt. She provides the interior counterweight to Miles’ backcourt scoring, rounding out Minnesota’s inside-outside balance.
Kayla McBride — G. A reliable scoring option alongside Miles, McBride averages 18.4 points a game on 47.1% shooting from the floor. Her 91.9% clip from the free throw line ranks among the most efficient marks in this matchup, giving Minnesota a low-risk way to close out possessions late. She adds 3.2 rebounds and 2.1 assists a night, rounding out a well-balanced line for a starting guard.
Las Vegas Aces
A’ja Wilson — C. Wilson anchors both ends for Las Vegas, averaging 25.9 points and 9.7 rebounds per game while shooting 52.0% from the floor, the top scoring and rebounding numbers on either roster tonight. Her 85.4% mark at the free throw line means she rarely gives back points once she gets to the stripe. With 7.8 defensive rebounds a game against just 1.9 on the offensive end, most of her work comes off the defensive glass rather than second-chance putbacks.
Chelsea Gray — G. Gray sets the tempo for the Aces as the team’s primary ball handler, dishing 7.0 assists a game across 33.2 minutes on the floor. Her efficiency holds up too, turning the ball over just 2.9 times a night against that same assist total. That decision-making at the point puts her a notch above Miles’ 6.1 assists per game in this specific matchup.
Jackie Young — G. Young gives Las Vegas a second scoring and playmaking option, putting up 18.7 points and 6.6 assists per game on 48.9% shooting. She’s nearly automatic from the line too, hitting 92.9% of her free throw attempts, the highest mark of any player featured in this preview. Between Wilson’s interior scoring and Gray’s playmaking, Young’s all-around line gives the Aces a third way to control the game.
