WNBA predictions, picks, and odds for the Dallas Wings at Las Vegas Aces on September 24. WNBA betting best bet and game analysis.
or not will in many ways come down to how she performs on both ends of the court. Against the Chicago Sky, A’ja was a two-way force, stuffing the stat sheet and helping the Aces cruise to victory. The Wings have something that many teams don’t, in that they can show Wilson multiple kinds of looks. They can put a traditional five on her in Teaira McCowan, who is 6-foot-7 and weighs nearly fifty pounds more than Wilson. Wilson can’t move McCowan, and she can’t simply shoot over her either.
Satou Sabally is the same height as Wilson, and while not as physically strong, he’s more than capable of hanging with her in spots. If the Aces start working Wilson into the action through screens or movement, going with Satou might be the Wings' answer because she’s capable of chasing around and through screens like a guard.
On top of that, the Wings don’t have to play fair. When newly-minted Sixth Player of the Year Alysha Clark is in the game, the Aces can spread the Dallas defense out and they’ll have to cover their matchups honestly. But Las Vegas doesn’t start games in that alignment. Wilson shot significantly worse against the Wings this year than her season averages, in large part due to the size and additional pressure they can put on the ball. In four games against the Wings this season A’ja has only scored more than 22 points once, and her shooting percentage from two was 12 points worse than her season average.
