Heading into the second half of the 2025 regular season, Las Vegas has 22 games left on the docket in the next 50 days. The Aces are currently in 8th place in the league standings, behind Washington and half a game behind Indiana. Of the Aces' 22 remaining games, 12 are at home and 10 are on the road.
Coming off a 37-point performance against Dallas before the break, reigning M’VP A’ja Wilson continues to stand amongst the league’s leaders, listing first in blocked shots and second in scoring and rebounds.
Rounding out the scoring for Las Vegas is 2025 WNBA All-Star starter Jackie Young, who has averaged 15.0 points over the past five games, Chelsea Gray and Jewell Loyd.
Guard Dana Evans has given the Aces a scoring boost off the bench, recording more double-digit games in the past eight games than she has in the prior 14 games. She’s averaging 11.8 points over the past five games, almost double her season average.
