Aces vs Wings WNBA Pick: Las Vegas Hosts Dallas in Commissioner’s Cup Showdown (Jun 13)

The Las Vegas Aces (4–4) return home to face the struggling Dallas Wings (1–10) in a pivotal Commissioner’s Cup matchup Friday night at Michelob ULTRA Arena. Both teams are looking to snap recent losing streaks, but enter in very different positions — the defending champions from Vegas remain dangerous despite injuries, while the Wings continue to search for an identity amid roster absences and defensive issues. With MVP candidate A’ja Wilson questionable and the Wings winless on the road, this Western Conference clash has plenty of intrigue.

• The Wings are mired in a six‑game losing streak and have dropped all seven road contests this season.
• The Aces also come in on a skid, falling two straight after Jackie Young dropped 34 points in the most recent game.
• These teams begin a four‑game season series tonight; Las Vegas has won each of their last six home meetings against Dallas since 2018.

The Wings Need A Spark On The Road

At 1–10 and 0–7 on the road, the Wings remain the WNBA’s biggest disappointment to date. Arike Ogunbowale (21.5 PPG) and rookie Paige Bueckers (17.6 PPG, 6.3 APG) offer elite guard production, but the frontcourt is depleted without Teaira McCowan (international duty) and Satou Sabally (shoulder). That’s left Dallas undersized and vulnerable on the boards, giving up 88.5 PPG and ranking 11th in defensive rating.

Head coach Latricia Trammell has leaned into small-ball rotations, but foul trouble and rebounding gaps have made it difficult to compete. The Wings will need a high-volume shooting night from Ogunbowale and better help defense if they hope to stay close in Vegas.

Aces’ MVP A’ja Wilson Needs To Get Going

The Aces have dropped two straight games and three of their last five, though All-Star Jackie Young has kept them competitive. She’s coming off a monster 34-point outing in a loss to the Liberty and continues to shoulder a heavier load in the absence of Chelsea Gray and Megan Gustafson. A’ja Wilson is questionable with a hand injury — if she’s out, expect extended minutes for Alysha Clark and Kate Martin up front.

Despite the inconsistency, Las Vegas still ranks in the league’s top five in scoring (81.3 PPG) and field goal defense (.419). Becky Hammon’s group must find better pace and paint presence if Wilson sits, but if she plays, the Aces are clear favorites at home, where they’ve beaten Dallas in six straight.

Aces vs Wings Pick

Dallas has struggled in this matchup historically (1‑22 SU in their last 23 road games) and faces a stacked opponent at home. Las Vegas enters as a 9–10 point favorite with strong consensus backing (100% on moneyline and spread). Las Vegas has dominated this matchup at home and even without Wilson, they should control tempo and the paint. Dallas simply hasn’t shown the discipline or depth to match up over four quarters. Expect Vegas to bounce back and cover the spread in front of a loud home crowd.
