00:00We've got the Aces versus the Sun. The Aces have shaken things up a little bit.
00:08Of course they're led by the most dominant player being Asia Wilson and
00:13she in the last couple of games guys has made 40 points look like a cakewalk.
00:18She has posted two 40-point performances dominantly and this team is
00:23getting into more of a realistic picture of competing for a championship. Their
00:27defense has started to come together and of course give credit where credit is
00:30due. They have weathered a number of injuries themselves. They've had to play
00:34without key players and it's been the Wilson show carrying this entire team on
00:38her back. After Tuesday they say I had a Seattle for the fourth seed in the WNBA
00:43playoff picture. I will note this Kelsey Plum was talked about being
00:48questionable for tonight so of course I'm gonna steer clear of any props for
00:51her. I did see her in the mix when it came to looking up some FanDuel numbers
00:55but once again this is something can change right when warm-ups go to take
00:59place and I have had that issue too many times to count. Now outside of Las Vegas
01:04outside of their defensive issues previously this past week has been
01:08eye-opening to the fact that they can get back into a dominant position in the
01:12WNBA but don't count out Connecticut. I've talked about Connecticut over and
01:17over again and they're a team that can be surprisingly sneaky. Of course they
01:20sit in good rankings. They've dropped some games that they should have never
01:23dropped against teams that are still barely even in a playoff position but
01:27they march in tonight with a 24-9 record and are tied with Minnesota for that
01:31second-best spot. Also eighth in field goal shooting, seventh in three-point
01:38shooting, and the Sun are 11th in the league when it comes to field goals per
01:42game. So they obviously can come in when it's necessary for their
01:46offense to show up but it's not their offense that makes me keep this team in
01:50any sort of conversation. It's their defense. Number one scoring defense in
01:56the league to be more specific and then for another player to keep an eye on
01:58that's probably going to be out of the lineup tonight it's going to be Tiffany
02:02Mitchell. So the Sun's ability to create turnovers and sitting as one of the top
02:06defenses in the league obviously that's gonna notably put you in I don't know
02:10favorably thinking that this is gonna be a much better game. When we're looking
02:13head-to-head obviously you've got Wilson coming in hot. I miss her storm hair
02:17because it matched her stormy performance but 12 and a half rebounds
02:21over under look when you're looking at what she can produce and what you can
02:25perform she rallied 14 rebounds the other night I'd probably smash the over
02:29on that and then points rebounds and assists combined 41 and a half you know
02:33she's dropping 20 at least if she gets double digits in the rebound column
02:36it's only gonna continue to get hot from there so only person she has to worry
02:41about is Juana Ballmer and I think this is gonna be a great competition between
02:45the two tonight.
