LVA vs MIN Dream11: The WNBA is in the All-Star territory and the voting is going to close soon. There are some obvious favorites for me that deserve to be in the All-Star team; i.e. A’ja Wilson, Kelsey Plum, and Breanna Stewart are surely among them. And talking about Wilson and Plum, let us jump into this game, where their Aces will take on the Minnesota Lynx in what is a battle of two upside-down teams.
The Aces have racked up 12 wins in 14 games and this is no surprise considering they have built a brilliant team on the offensive end. They come into this game after beating the Wings 92:84 as Kelsey Plum collected 27 points. On the other hand, this has been an underwhelming season for the Minnesota Lynx, winning just three of their 15 games. They are on a four-game losing streak and in the last game, they lost a thrilling 79:81 battle to the Storm despite a 20 points effort by Kayla McBride. Can the Lynx pop something incredible as they come in as big underdogs?
Host: Las Vegas Aces
Visitors: Minnesota Lynx
Match Timing: 20 June, @ 03:30 AM (+05:30 UTC)
Venue: Michelob Ultra Arena
WNBA Projections, Stats & Analysis
Aces are running everyone out of the game
The Aces have built the best offense in the league and a lot of credit goes to their coach Becky Hammon who has instilled belief in players to take shots from wherever they went. The growth of Kelsey Plum and Jackie Young has made the Guard trio of Gray, Young, and Plum arguably the best in the league. Then you add a superstar like A’ja Wilson and a rebounder like Deearica Hamby, the unit is full of players who can both shoot from outside, finish inside, and also find open teammates through crisp passing.
Lynx’s season has been abysmal
The Lynx’s season was already in jeopardy while Fowles was active, her absence has decorated the attack. Due to her absence, the inside scoring has been compromised, rebounding has been hit, and the screen action has dwindled too. Kayla McBride has been the only consistent guard performer but the rest of the unit has shot poorly and even during a strong defensive game, the offense has deserted the team in key moments. How can Minnesota get back to being a competitive team? They look out of sorts.
