Gabby Williams is one player to keep an eye on for the Storm heading into this game, since Loyd and Magbegor will be out. Williams finished the Storms final game with 22 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists, and 4 steals.
For the Aces Jackie Young is a player to watch as she has dominated in the matchups against the Storm. Young had just three points in her first game against the Storm this season, but she scored 27 and 32 in the next two games.
The Aces will be looking to win their fourth straight game and lock in that fourth seed against the shorthanded Storm.If the Connecticut Sun lose against the Lynx, the Aces will move to just one game behind the Sun for the third spot.
