Aces close out regular season against Sparks on Thursday

On Tuesday, the Las Vegas Aces (29-14) collected their 15^th straight win against the Chicago Sky (10-32) and earning their last win on their homecourt for the regular season.

On Thursday, September 11, the Aces will take on the Los Angeles Sparks (21-22) in their last regular season game before starting the playoffs at 7pm PT at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles.

The game will air locally on Vegas 34, NBA TV, and available for streaming on WNBA League Pass.

The Aces playoff picture is becoming clearer on the last day of the regular season. With an Atlanta Dream loss or an Las Vegas win on Thursday, the Aces will clinch the No. 2 spot. In the first round of the playoffs, the Aces are looking to matchup against the Indiana Fever (24-20) or the Golden State Valkyries (23-20) and will have homecourt advantage for game 1.

A’ja Wilson leads the Aces in almost every statistical category, Wilson averages 23.6 points, 10.1 rebounds, and 3.0 assists per game.

Jackie Young has come up big for the Aces during their win streak. Young is averaging 16.5 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 5.9 assists per game.

Last time out, Cheyenne Parker-Tyus returned from maternity leave after giving birth to her son. Parker-Tyus scored 8 points in the eight minutes that she was back on the court. It will be interesting to see how much of an asset that Parker-Tyus will be for the Aces in the post season.

On the Sparks side of the ball, aside from the win against Phoenix on Tuesday, the Sparks have been eliminated from the playoff picture due to Seattle defeating Golden State. Four Sparks are averaging in double figures.

The Aces will start their post-season run on Sunday, September 14 at Michelob ULTRA Arena. Game time is to be determined.
