A’ja Wilson continues MVP push with another 30-point game to lead Aces to 10th straight win

A’ja Wilson and Las Vegas AS cannot be stopped at the moment. Wilson filed 36 points on Saturday afternoon to lead the AS after the mystics of Washington, 91-81, for their 10th consecutive victory.

Less than a month ago, the ASs were less than 0,500, and on August 2, they lost 53 points against Minnesota Lynx – the second largest defeat in the history of the League. They haven’t lost since then. Their sequence of 10 consecutive victories, which has been the longest ace since they have moved to Las Vegas and the longest of the WNBA since 2021, has brought them to third place to 24-14.

Instead of worrying about hanging on to one of the last spotlights in the playoffs, the ASs are now in the mixture for the seeded n ° 2 and are in the driver’s seat to win a home advantage in the first round of the playoffs.

Can Las Vegas are turning things, but A’ja Wilson and Co. can she get into the WNBA qualifiers?

Earlier in the victories sequence, we examined some of the underlying reasons for the AS reversal. The main engine of their success, however, is the same as it has always been: A’ja Wilson. The triple MVP continued its end of season thrust to win the honor for a fourth time record on Saturday with another brilliant performance.

Wilson paid 36 out of 14 out of 22 on the field and added 13 rebounds, two interceptions and two blocks. She now has 10 30 -point games this season and has become the first player in WNBA history with several seasons of 10 games over 30 points. For his career, Wilson represents up to 34 games of 30 points, which is the second after the top scorer in the league, Diana Taurasi.

Most 30 -point games in the history of WNBA

During the sequence of 10 consecutive AS victories, Wilson scored 30 points five times and has an average of 27.3 points, 13.1 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1.6 interceptions and 1.8 blocks. For the season, she has up to 23.2 points per game and is in the heels of Napheesa Collier (23.5 points) for the score title.

Wilson also committed the gap on necklace in the MVP race. Collier crossed her first MVP prize until she was injured in the ankle during the historic Lynx victory over the Aces at the beginning of the month. She has not played since then, and while waiting for the individual domination of Wilson and the victory sequence of 10 AS games made the MVP race extremely close. Necklace remains the favorite of bets at -220 by Caesars Sportsbook, but Wilson is only +160.
