Dallas also slipped to bottom in the 2025 Commissioner's Cup leaderboard with a 0-4 record.
Las Vegas Aces will host the out-of-form Dallas Wings in a crucial WNBA showdown on Friday. It will also part of the Commissioner’s Cup and both teams take the bottom two spots in the leaderboard. It has been a nightmare season for both teams and they would look to get back on the winning track.
The Aces enter the home fixture with two straight defeats against the Valkyries and the Sparks. The early first-quarter surge helped Sparks to take the game 97-89. Las Vegas now fell to 1-2 in the Commissioner’s Cup and 4-4 in the regular season. The Aces routed the Wings 112-78 when they last met each other in the pre-season. Las Vegas made into the WNBA semifinals last season and lost to the eventual winners, Liberty but they are lacking in the consistency this season.
On the other hand, the Dallas Wings are clueless and it’s going to be a disaster season for them. Picking Paige Bueckers as the No. 1 pick in the 2025 WNBA draft remains the only best chapter of their season-story. Dallas fell to 1-10 after a 93-80 loss to Mercury. Bueckers dropped a career-high performance but she couldn’t get the support from other players. It was another one-woman show for the Wings. Dallas also slipped to bottom in the 2025 Commissioner’s Cup leaderboard with a 0-4 record.
It's rare to see a game where a team only has one player make a 3-pointer:

Paige Bueckers: 5/7 3P
Rest of Dallas Wings: 0/12 3P
Phoenix Mercury: 15/35 3P
In a game with each quarter decided by 5 points or less, that's a real math problem.
Ahead of a crucial road matchup for the Wings, let’s discuss the injury report and starting lineups for both teams.
