PIVOTAL SEEDING IMPLICATIONS

The Aces and Valkyries are separated by just 0.5 games in the standings as both teams jockey for playoff positioning. Vegas is in seventh place, while Golden State is in eighth place - both teams would qualify for the playoffs, featuring the top-eight teams, if the season ended today. The Valkyries are seeking to tie the season series 2-2, because if they lose, the Aces will have the tiebreaker, earning the higher seed if both teams finish with the same record.

LAS VEGAS SCOUTING REPORT

Over a two-day stretch, the Las Vegas Aces made WNBA history by having the largest turnaround disparity in consecutive games in league history. The Aces were defeated by 53 points by the Minnesota Lynx on Saturday, but responded by handing the Golden State Valkyries a 24-point loss on Sunday. In Saturday's loss, their top scorer was Jewell Loyd with 12 points and only two players scored in double figures.
