Overview

  • Phoenix and Las Vegas split their June meetings and tonight’s result will decide the tiebreaker that influences first-round seeding.
  • The Mercury (19-12) would secure home-court advantage with a win, while the Aces (19-14) come in having won five straight and seven of their last eight games.
  • Phoenix will field a fully healthy lineup including guard Kiana Williams, who signed a seven-day contract on Aug. 13.
  • Las Vegas remains without forward Cheyenne Parker-Tyus, who has missed the season after giving birth to her second child.
  • The game airs at 10 p.m. ET on ION and streams through Fubo’s free trial or DirecTV’s promotional offer, and sources conflict on whether one or two regular-season rematches remain.
