Aja Wilson (Las Vegas Aces)

As for now, A'ja Wilson has missed two games due to concussion protocol, but she is expected to be part of the game against the Lynx. The head injury in the game against the Los Angeles Sparks on June 11 forced her to walk out of the game and even take two games rest. The Lynx won one out of three games without Wilson on the floor. This highlights the importance of the star forward in the mix. Moreover, the reigning MVP has continued her stellar form, leading the side in multiple stats. This season, Wilson is leading the team in every major stat with an average of 20.9 points, 9.6 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals and 2.6 blocks. Her return could energise the side, enabling them to put up a fight against the Lynx.

Napheesa Collier (Minnesota Lynx)

The 2024 WNBA regular season MVP runner-up is in blistering form in the 2025 season. After missing out on a championship in 2024, the star forward is on a mission to win it all, including the MVP title. Napheesa Collier is leading the league in scoring with a 26.1 points average in ten games played. She is also a menace at the defensive end, leading the side with 8.8 rebounds and two steals. Forming a strong pairing alongside the centre, Alanna Smith and guard Courtney Williams, the 28-year-old has been an unstoppable force in the league. Even though the Minnesota Lynx have been consistent with their performances, the result of the game depends on Collier’s output. The former UConn star has been in a great run of form, and a win over Aces will solidify her chances of achieving the MVP title.
