About the Aces (6-3): Star forward A’ja Wilson is in the midst of another spectacular season, averaging 19 points, 7.2 rebounds and 1.4 blocks while shooting 51.7 percent from the field. She had season highs of 30 points and 13 rebounds in a victory Thursday over the New York Liberty. Third-year guard Jackie Young is averaging a career-high 13.9 points to go with 4.3 rebounds. Point guard Chelsea Gray directs the WNBA’s most efficient offense, averaging 12.3 points and 6.7 assists per game.
About the Mystics (2-4): Forward Tina Charles is one of the league’s best all-around players, presenting matchup problems in the post and on the perimeter. She’s averaging a career-high 26.7 points, which would set a WNBA single-season record should she sustain it. Ariel Atkins remains one of the league’s best guards, averaging 16 points, 2.8 rebounds and 2.8 assists. Former WNBA MVP and Mystics star Elena Delle Donne has not yet played this season as she works her way back from back surgery.
