- Las Vegas Aces (21-9) meet the Indiana Fever (19-11) Thursday at 7 p.m. ET on Prime Video in their final regular-season meeting, with a WNBA Finals preview matchup priced at +2200 at FanDuel behind Aces-Lynx (+310).
- A'ja Wilson is the -500 MVP favorite at BetMGM, leading the WNBA in scoring (26.6 PPG) and blocks (2.0 BPG) while ranking third in rebounding (9.6); she's 10 points from passing Candace Parker for No. 11 on the league's all-time scoring list.
- Wilson has scored 20+ points in 11 straight games (second-longest streak in league history) and reached double figures in a league-leading 53 consecutive games, averaging 30.0 points and 10.5 rebounds since the All-Star break.
- Jackie Young posted a triple-double (28 points, 11 rebounds, 10 assists) in Monday's 109-87 win at Atlanta and is averaging 25.0 PPG on 60.7% shooting since the break, ending Wilson's eight-game streak of leading the Aces in scoring.
- Indiana leads the WNBA in scoring at 96.5 PPG and set a league record with six straight 100-point games and 15 games of at least 100 points this season, per the source.
- Kelsey Mitchell scored 37 points Sunday — her fifth 30-point game of the season and her 14th straight 20-point game, second in league single-season history behind Wilson's 15 in a row in 2024; she scored 27 in each of the first two meetings against the Aces.
- The Aces lost the first two head-to-head meetings by 16 and 34 points while averaging just 71.5 PPG on 39.5% shooting — nearly 14 points below their average against any other opponent this season.
Why it matters: The Aces were outscored by a combined 50 points while shooting 39.5% across their two prior losses to Indiana — nearly 14 points below their norm — giving Las Vegas sharp motivation in the regular-season finale. With Wilson at -500 for MVP and Mitchell riding a 14-game 20-point streak, individual milestones and FanDuel's +2200 Aces-Fever Finals price both hinge on Thursday's result.
