The Aces are coming off consecutive wins against the Indiana Fever as they try to hold off the Seattle Storm and keep the four seed. A’ja Wilson has continued to dominate and appears to be a lock to win her third MVP in her seventh season.
The Sun are also battling for playoff positioning, just one game behind the Minnesota Lynx for second in the standings.
