Aces vs. Valkyries Preview
If you think you're having deja vu, you are correct, as the Las Vegas Aces and the Golden State Valkyries are set to meet for the second time in four days. While the Aces dominated in a 101-77 victory, we successfully faded star center Aja Wilson, who had a rough shooting night and was a non-factor in the assist department.
Well, the one area she did have success was on the glass as she hauled in 14 rebounds. However, I expect the Valkyries to make adjustments and limit her on the offensive glass, as her six offensive boards were the most she's recorded all season.
On top of that, we can go back to counting on Temi Fagbenle to challenge Wilson in the paint, as she's one of the few women who can match up with her from a size perspective.
Look for Wilson to see some rebound regression and continue to struggle from the field, as the Valkyries will do everything they can to contain her.
