WNBA Power Rankings: Aces' A'ja Wilson Cements MVP Case; Liberty Still a Class Above Everyone Else

A'ja Wilson's MVP Credentials Soar as Aces Reign Supreme

A'ja Wilson is solidifying her status as a top MVP contender, leading the Las Vegas Aces to the top of the WNBA standings. The Aces have won 12 of their last 13 games, including a recent victory over the Minnesota Lynx, who they defeated by a whopping 30 points.

Wilson has been a force on both ends of the court, averaging 19.8 points, 10.2 rebounds, and 1.9 blocks per game. She has also been efficient from the field, shooting 50.4% from the floor.

The Aces' success is not solely dependent on Wilson, as they have a well-balanced roster with multiple players who can contribute. Kelsey Plum is averaging 17.0 points per game, while Jackie Young is averaging 16.0 points and 7.0 rebounds per game.

Liberty Continue to Dominate Despite Injuries

The New York Liberty remain the top team in the WNBA, despite battling injuries to key players. Breanna Stewart has missed several games with a foot injury, while Sabrina Ionescu has been out with an ankle injury.

Despite these setbacks, the Liberty have continued to win, thanks to the strong play of Natasha Howard and Betnijah Laney. Howard is averaging 18.5 points and 9.8 rebounds per game, while Laney is averaging 16.5 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 5.0 assists per game.

The Liberty's depth has been a major factor in their success, as they have several players who can step up and fill in for injured teammates.
