Aces Defense Has To Be Better

The Aces in the last game faced off against the Lynx and it was the defense in the last game that was a major issue.

Jackie Young had a strong game putting up 26 points, six rebounds, and four assists. Kelsey Plum also couldn’t be stopped putting up 20 points. Two games ago, the Aces gave up only 71 points to the Sparks, and that offense will need to come back here. The Aces are averaging 87.8 points while their defense is giving up 83 points per game. The offense is ranked 1st in basketball, but this game is about the defense.

Nafessa Collier is playing like the MVP and she finished with 23 points,  seven rebounds, and four assists. Courtney Williams also put up 22 points, 10 assists, and seven rebounds.

Las Vegas Aces vs Minnesota Lynx Prediction

There will be no defense in this game. The Aces defense gave up 98 points in the last game, and they are going to struggle again to defend. The Aces offense is the top in the WNBA, though, and they are going to have Nafessa running up the score here. This is a game where both teams are going to go over the 90-point mark, and the over is going to end up cashing with ease.
