The Las Vegas Aces (22-9) travel to Barclays Center to face the New York Liberty (19-13) in a matchup that pits one of the league’s most productive backcourts against a New York frontcourt built around size and shooting. Las Vegas averages 22.6 assists per game as a team, ahead of New York’s 20.8, a gap that lines up with the ball movement Chelsea Gray provides at the point. Gray runs that offense with 7.2 assists per game against just 3.0 turnovers, while playing alongside center A’ja Wilson, who paces the Aces with 26.6 points per game on 53.0% shooting from the floor. On the home side, Breanna Stewart counters as New York’s leading scorer at 21.6 points per game, connecting on 47.6% from the field and 85.1% from the line. Center Jonquel Jones adds rebounding punch underneath, averaging 9.1 boards a game split between 7.0 defensive and 2.2 offensive, while Wilson’s own 9.8 rebounds per game keep the Aces competitive on the glass as well. New York will be missing Satou Sabally, Anneli Maley and Leonie Fiebich, all out for Sunday’s game, thinning the frontcourt depth behind Stewart and Jones.
