The Las Vegas Aces (15-6) visit the Portland Fire (9-12) for a 2026 WNBA regular season matchup on Thursday, July 9, at Moda Center.
These teams have faced each other once this season, which ended with an Aces' 105-89 victory. Las Vegas held Portland to only 17 points in the fourth quarter of that game, helping them seal the win. A'ja Wilson and Chelsea Gray put up strong performances of 32 and 29 points, respectively.
The Aces did encounter a setback recently. After winning three straight games, they dropped an 84-68 decision to a Caitlyn Clark-less Indiana Fever. Las Vegas actually led after the opening period, but their offense sputtered in the next three quarters.
Wilson didn't play in the loss, as she's still recovering from a leg injury. She is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Fire.
As for the Fire, they've lost three of their last four games. It was good for them that they defeated the Seattle Storm, 77-72, in their most recent match. Carla Leite led the Fire with her 20 points, while Bridget Carleton stuffed the stat sheet with 14 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists, and 2 steals.
Injured players Karlie Samuelson and Sania Feagin will sit out for the Fire.
