The Las Vegas Aces hope to pick up a win against the Connecticut Sun before returning to Las Vegas for Friday’s home opener.
Connecticut owns a 33-24 regular-season record over Las Vegas overall. However, since 2022, the Aces have won 7 of their 9 contests against the Sun and carry a four-game winning streak into Tuesdays game.
The trio of Chelsea Gray, Aja Wilson and Jackie Young had strong showings against New York. Jewell Loyd, however, struggled to find the bottom of the net, shooting 2-of-10 from the field and 1-of-6 from distance for 5 points on the night.
The 2023 WNBA scoring leader scored in single digits just twice last year and had 15 or more points in 28 of her games, so count the game against New York as an anomaly.
Las Vegas will have Crystal Bradford, who provided a strong spark off the bench in the Aces two preseason games back in the line-up against Connecticut.
The team shot an uncharacteristically low 34.1% overall in its opener. The last time the team struggled to make at least 35% of their shots in a regular season game was a loss to Seattle on June 7, 2024.
In fact, the Aces hit fewer than 40% of their shots in just six games last season and is not likely to do so in back-to-back games.
On the upside, the Aces were more accurate from 3-point land, making 34.4% from afar.
Tip-off against the Sun is at 4 p.m., and you can catch all the action on Vegas 34.
