Las Vegas Aces vs Golden State Valkyries preview

The Valkyries’ lopsided defeat over the weekend largely came down to missing key players due to injuries.

Already down Kayla Thornton for the season with a knee injury, Golden State also missed Tiffany Hayes (sore left leg) and Cecilia Zandalasini (sore left foot) in that outing. Both could be back for the rematch, which would give the team a much-needed boost.

The Aces, meanwhile, haven’t exactly been perfect either. Prior to beating the Valkyries, they dropped three of five, including a brutal 111-58 blowout against the Minnesota Lynx.

Still, A’ja Wilson continues to be a powerhouse, averaging 21.3 points and 9.2 rebounds, while Jackie Young chips in 16.7 ppg. Beyond them, however, production has dipped.

Chelsea Gray remains steady, but Jewell Loyd’s inconsistent shooting recently led to a stint on the bench, making her 27-point performance against Golden State an especially positive sign.

The Valkyries’ top scorers, Kayla Thornton (14.0 ppg) and Tiffany Hayes (12.0 ppg), were both unavailable last time. If Hayes returns, expect a more competitive outing this time around.
