1hA’ja Wilson totaled 31 points (12-of-20 FGs, 5-of-5 FTs), 11 rebounds, two assists, four steals, three blocks and two three pointers in Sunday’s victory over the Sky.

On the heels of an outstanding 31/8/2/1/2 stat line against the first-seeded Lynx, Wilson put forth another stellar performance against the Sky on Sunday. She landed seven stocks, while surpassing 30 points and leading the Aces in rebounding en route to her 20th double-double of the season. The three-time MVP’s performance on Sunday is just the latest of what’s been another MVP-caliber season. She’ll look to close the regular season strong against the Sky again on Tuesday and the Sparks on Thursday.

3dA’ja Wilson finished Thursday’s win over the Lynx with 31 points (12-of-15 FGs, 6-of-7 FTs), eight rebounds, two assists, one steal, two blocks and one three-pointer.

In a matchup of the two players many believe to be the favorites to win Most Valuable Player honors, Wilson outplayed Minnesota’s Napheesa Collier on Thursday. The three-time MVP recorded her third 30-point game in Las Vegas’ last four contests, and her 12th of the season. The Aces have not lost a game since being embarrassed by the Lynx on August 2, losing by 53 points, and Wilson’s play is the biggest reason why. Wilson has scored at least 27 points in nine of the 13 games Las Vegas has played, looking every bit the star she’s been for most of her WNBA career.

11dA’ja Wilson tallied 34 points (13-of-21 FGs, 6-of-8 FTs), 10 rebounds, one assist, one steal, four blocks and two three-pointers on Wednesday in the win over the Dream.

Wilson had another monster performance on Wednesday. The reigning MVP went to work on the offensive end from the jump, but was particularly productive from the second quarter on, where she tallied at least eight points in each of the three quarters. She’d ultimately finish with her 11th 30-point game of the season, although that was hardly the highlight of her outing. Wilson recorded double-digit rebounds and secured yet another double-double, notched at least four blocked shots for the seventh time, and threw in a pair of triples for good measure. She closed the show with 10 fourth-quarter points and helped the Aces to their 12th consecutive win.

LVA C #22

13dA’ja Wilson tallied 18 points (7-of-18 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), nine rebounds, three assists, one steal, two blocks and one three-pointer in Monday’s win over the Sky.

Wilson recorded one of her least spectacular lines of August, but still did enough to help the Aces to their 11th consecutive win while nearly tallying a double-double. The three-time MVP’s biggest impact came in the fourth quarter, where she scored seven of the Aces’ 19 total points. She made contributions on both the defensive end and as a passer, finishing with a solid overall performance. Las Vegas remains in third place and will have a big matchup on Wednesday against Atlanta, a game in which Wilson could potentially deliver a big performance.

15dA’ja Wilson amassed 36 points (14-of-22 FGs, 7-of-8 FTs), 13 rebounds, one assist, two steals, two blocks and one three-pointer in Saturday’s win over the Mystics.

As she has been throughout the season, Wilson was dominant on Saturday. She went for at least 30 points for the fourth time in the last five games, using efficient shooting and strong rebounding to secure a double-double and help the Aces to their 10th straight win. The streak has brought the Aces all the way up to the third spot in the WNBA standings. They’ll still have to play well over the final weeks of the season if they want to secure home-court advantage, which is good news for those fantasy managers who need Wilson to continue putting up strong performances.

LVA C #22

17dA’ja Wilson tallied 19 points (7-of-16 FGs, 5-of-6 FTs), 13 rebounds, one assist, one steal and one block in Thursday’s win over the Mercury.

Wilson recorded a second consecutive double-double on Thursday as the three-time MVP helped the Aces to a ninth consecutive victory. While it wasn’t her most efficient night shooting the basketball, she used a high volume of shots to score more than 15 points for the 25th time this season. Wilson’s stellar play throughout the second half of the season has placed her in MVP conversations. Whether she ultimately wins the award for the fourth time or not, her production has been impressive and incredibly crucial to the Aces’ success. Expect her to finish the season strong.

PHX G-F #2

17dKahleah Copper (rib) will not return on Thursday against the Aces.

Copper’s injury came near the midway point of the third quarter on Thursday as she tried to navigate a screen being set by the Aces’ A’ja Wilson. She made contact with Wilson and immediately went to the floor in pain, where she stayed for a few moments before being helped to the locker room. Copper was replaced in the lineup by DeWanna Bonner and ultimately ruled out in the fourth quarter. Her status moving forward will be worth monitoring down the stretch of the season. She finished Thursday’s game with six points, two rebounds and one assist before exiting.

19dA’ja Wilson finished Tuesday’s win over the Dream with 32 points (12-of-24 FGs, 6-of-6 FTs), 12 rebounds, four assists, one steal, five blocks and two three-pointers.

Wilson made more history on Tuesday, becoming the fastest to reach 5,500 points in a WNBA career. The three-time MVP needed 259 games to reach the milestone, and she did so as part of another 30-point double-double. Wilson, who also made multiple three-pointers in the same game for the first time this season, has scored 30 points or more in three straight and four of her last five appearances. With the Aces now winners of eight consecutive games, Wilson’s name may be mentioned more often in connection with the Most Valuable Player award, and rightfully so.

21dA’ja Wilson finished Sunday afternoon’s 106-87 win over the Wings with 34 points (11-of-16 FGs, 11-of-14 FTs), eight rebounds, one assist, two steals, four blocks and one three-pointers in 30 minutes of play.

In her last two games, Wilson has scored 64 points, and 34 of those points came against the Wings on Sunday afternoon. The three-time league MVP leads the WNBA in total 30-point games this season with eight in 30 games played. Wilson made five straight shots to start the game. She hit jumpers in the paint over the Wings’ front court players and took them off the dribble and to the rim. Seven of Wilson’s field goals, over 63 percent of her total makes, came on passes from point guard Chelsea Gray. On the defensive end, Wilson tied her season high in a game with four blocks and in the first quarter passed Ruth Riley for ninth on the WNBA’s All-Time blocks list.

23dA’ja Wilson amassed 30 points (8-of-16 FGs, 14-of-15 FTs), 16 rebounds, one assist, and two blocks in Friday’s win over the Mercury.

Wilson was spectacular on Friday, posting her fourth consecutive double-double while leading the Aces to a sixth straight victory. Over the winning streak, the three-time MVP has put up sensational numbers, averaging 24.8 points, 14.2 rebounds and 3.0 assists. Like so many other teams in the league, the Aces are battling for playoff seeding and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. With each game being crucial, Wilson will be counted on to put up big performances, which is great news for those fantasy managers who roster her.
