- The Aces have been much more efficient offensively since the return of Chelsea Gray from injury.
- Chicago is not a great outside shooting team but their ability to grab offensive rebounds and get second chances should help them score in this game.

Las Vegas Aces
The Las Vegas Aces enter Thursday’s action with a record of 8-6, which is good for fifth place in the league standings. But that doesn’t tell the full story about this team, as Vegas has won two games in a row since getting Chelsea Gray back on the floor. With Gray back, the Aces have looked much better offensively, something the two-time defending champs will hope continues against the Sky tonight.
Gray provides so much to the Vegas offense, thanks to her ability to both hit outside shots and rack up assists. Her presence gives shooters like Kelsey Plum more room to get their shot off, while also preventing opposing defenses from committing quite as much attention to stars like A’ja Wilson. The Sky will have their hands full with Gray and the Aces offense in tonight’s Aces vs Sky contest.
Chicago Sky
On Sunday, the Chicago Sky put together a season-defining comeback win over the Indiana Fever. Chicago trailed by double-digits in the second half of that game before storming back to win in the final minutes. Tonight, the Sky will need another huge game from Angel Reese if they want a chance to take down the reigning champs in the W.
Reese’s contributions on Sunday were simply incredible, especially for a player in her first year in the league. She had 25 points and 16 rebounds, her eighth straight double-double for Chicago. More importantly, she was efficient from the field, making two-thirds of her shots that day. If Reese can continue to score around the rim in an efficient manner, the Sky could see some rapid improvement as this season wears on.
