League leaders Minnesota and second-place Las Vegas go head-to-head in this top-of-the-table WNBA clash at Target Center. The Lynx have put together 10 wins across their last 11 outings and have defeated the Aces in each of their last three meetings at Target Center, making us favour the hosts in our prediction.

Minnesota Lynx’s impressive run finally ended on Thursday against Los Angeles Sparks. The four-time champions led through the first three quarters against the Sparks before a 23–11 final-quarter swing saw them fall 89–82 at the buzzer. 

Despite that loss, Cheryl Reeve’s side arrive for this clash with a league-leading 25–7 record on the campaign, 2.5 games ahead of Las Vegas Aces. This includes an impressive 10-game winning run before Thursday's setback. They have won 12 of their 17 home fixtures this season. 

Las Vegas Aces edged past Indiana Fever 86–84 in overtime after a 75–75 tie on Thursday. They prevailed 100–97 in their previous meeting with Minnesota this season, but hold an underwhelming 2–6 record across the last eight meetings between the two sides. 

In fact, Becky Hammon’s charges face a far tougher record to overcome this evening. They have lost each of their last three visits to Minnesota by double digits.
