The Aces miss star player Chelsea Gray, who remains sidelined with a leg injury. Las Vegas still leads the WNBA in points per game, but its scoring has been down the past couple of games. The Aces are averaging 77 points in their last two games, down from their season average of 86.5 points.

Dallas is fifth in the league in scoring. But the Wings' scoring also has dropped the last two games. They are averaging 74 points in their past two games, down from their season average of 82.6 points. This is their first home game since May 18.

Another takeaway from this game is being a Commissioner's Cup matchup. This is an in-season tournament where the final two teams compete for a $500,000 prize hosted on June 25 by the team with the best record in the tournament. So the intensity should be raised.

But most important is the league's regular orange and white ball won't be used during tournament games. Instead a new ball with different colors is being debuted. Players aren't happy about that. This could turn out to be a major plus for the Under because of the unfamiliarity.
