The Las Vegas Aces have been the best team in the WNBA so far this season.

The Minnesota Lynx have been the opposite, holding one of the worst marks in the league.

That could set up a mismatch when the teams meet Sunday night in Las Vegas.

The Aces (9-1), who have eight games of 90 or more points, might want to be on upset alert.

The Lynx (3-7) should arrive with energy after pulling off a 77-72 comeback victory Friday night at Los Angeles to start a three-game road trip. Napheesa Collier racked up 25 points against the Sparks.

“Just learning what it takes for us as a team to finish out games has been (a) struggle a little bit, but I think we are finally trying to find our way and figuring out what works best,” Collier said.

Minnesota, which trailed by nine at halftime Friday, has won two straight and three of its last four. Still, the offense has reached 80 points only five times.

The Aces thumped Seattle 96-63 on Thursday night behind Jackie Young’s 28 points even though she didn’t attempt a free throw. Young is fifth in the league with 20.5 points per game.

“This is something that she has worked on and the growth that we’re seeing in her, it’s what she’s supposed to do,” Las Vegas teammate A’ja Wilson said.

Las Vegas drubbed the Lynx 94-73 on May 28 in Las Vegas. Young had a team-best 23 points in that meeting, while Collier led the Lynx with 21 points.

“Overall, I think we handled the zone decently,” Aces coach Becky Hammon said of the first matchup with Minnesota. “I think they did steal a couple of possessions with the zone, but overall, I thought we did pretty well with it.”

Aces guard Chelsea Gray reached a milestone in Thursday’s game by recording her 300th career steal.

Sunday’s contest marks the end of the Aces’ three-game homestand.

The Lynx began their trip without forwards Jessica Shepard (illness) and Natalie Achonwa (maternity leave).
