The hosts will try to spoil the reigning champions’ mood. Prediction for Dallas Wings vs Las Vegas Aces
Dallas Wings
Las Vegas Aces
The Dallas Wings and Las Vegas Aces are set to clash in the WNBA regular season. The game will take place overnight into Tuesday, June 16, tipping off at 02:00 Central European Time. I’m offering my pick for the winner in this matchup.
H2H and statistical facts
- The Wings have won their last four home games.
- In their last three meetings, Dallas has suffered two defeats.
- The Aces are riding a six-game winning streak.
- In 2026, the Wings have already beaten Las Vegas twice: once in the regular season, and once in preseason.
Dallas is off to one of its best starts in recent years. Heading into their matchup against the Aces, the team holds a record of 8 wins and 5 losses, placing them among the leaders of the Western Conference. After a disappointing previous season, the Wings have made noticeable progress and already look like playoff contenders.
In their last six games, the team has picked up four wins. The Wings defeated Seattle and Phoenix, and earlier handed the Las Vegas Aces a 95–87 loss. However, in their last two outings, the team suffered a narrow defeat to Portland (83–84).
The team’s star remains Paige Bueckers. The point guard is averaging around 20 points per game and is the team’s top playmaker. Key contributions are also coming from Arike Ogunbowale, Jessica Shepard, and rookie Azzi Fudd, who has shown remarkable progress in recent games and is becoming an increasingly vital part of the offense.
A major concern for the hosts ahead of the upcoming game is Bueckers’ condition. The team’s leader twisted her ankle against Phoenix and missed the last game. Her participation against the Aces is questionable, which could significantly impact Dallas’ offensive potential.

After a shaky start to the season, Las Vegas is once again looking like a championship-caliber team. The Aces have reeled off six straight wins to climb to the top of the overall WNBA standings. Their play in June has been particularly impressive, as the team has found its rhythm and hit top gear.
In recent games, Becky Hammon’s squad has taken down several tough opponents. Most recently, the Aces edged out the Minnesota Lynx in a thrilling contest (100–97), and before that, they scored over 100 points in several consecutive games. The team’s offense is currently among the most potent in the league.
Las Vegas’ leader remains A’ja Wilson, who is having another MVP-level season. The forward is averaging over 26 points and about 9 rebounds per game. Chelsea Gray and Jackie Young are also making significant contributions. In the last game against Minnesota, this trio was the driving force, accounting for the bulk of the team’s points.
The visitors’ additional advantage is their red-hot form. Since losing to Dallas at the end of May, the Aces haven’t dropped a game, and their offense has looked almost unstoppable. The team leads the West in scoring and heads into this matchup as a slight favorite.
What’s the pick?
This game promises to be a true test for both teams. Dallas has already proven they can beat Las Vegas, but the Aces’ current form and A’ja Wilson’s stellar play make the visitors the favorites in this showdown. My pick is an Aces victory.
