Two Juggernauts Collide
It's been a little over two weeks since the WNBA All-Star Game, in which A'ja Wilson's squad came out on top. The exhibition match was the most viewed for the league since 2015, peaking at 768,000 viewers 📺

Since then, both the Chicago Sky and Las Vegas Aces have gone 5-1 and are set to play each other tonight in the Commissioner's Cup Championship, which will be available to stream through Amazon Prime at 8:30PM EST 👇
The Aces and Sky tout the WNBA's best offenses, with Las Vegas leading the way at 90.4 PPG, while Chicago sits at 85.6 PPG 🔥
A'ja Wilson was named the Western Conference Player of the Week on Monday after putting up 23.0 PPG, 8.0 RPG & 2.3 BPG over her last three games
As for the Sky's impressive stretch, they've been able to do it without Courtney Vandersloot, and they could've gone 7-0 if not for Sabrina Ionescu's game-winning drive on Saturday night
Sabrina Ionescu attacks and finishes and-one to put the Liberty up 81-80 with 9.7 to go. The Barclays crowd explodes after the make.

Championship Preview?
While the Commissioner's Cup won't have the same high-level drama or intensity of a playoff series, it could be offering a glimpse into the future. The Sky and Aces have been playing like the best teams in the league, and they may end up colliding again in the WNBA Finals 😳
Chicago is holding opponents to 79.5 PPG, good for the fourth-best defensive rating in the league, while Las Vegas sits near the bottom of the rankings, allowing 84.7 PPG
So far, Chicago and Las Vegas have split their regular season matchups 👀
In the first contest, A'ja Wilson and Dearica Hamby put up double-doubles en route to an 83-76 win
Things went differently in round two, as the Sky roared back from a 28-point deficit to complete the largest comeback in WNBA history, winning 104-95
The Sky overcame a 28-POINT deficit against the Aces.
The BIGGEST comeback in WNBA history 👏

Big Money
This is the second year the WNBA has included the Commissioner's Cup as an in-season tournament. Last year, Breanna Stewart and the Seattle Storm took home the trophy, but they failed to make the WNBA Finals 😬
$500K worth of prize money is at stake, $30K to each player on the winning team and $10K to each player on the losing team
Plus, there's even some Bitcoin on the line 🌚
EXCLUSIVE: In addition to the already established $500,000 prize pool for the WNBA Commissioner's Cup, @coinbase is adding $120,000 worth of Bitcoin.

In the WNBA, an extra $30K is a lot of money. To put it in perspective, starting guard and third-highest scorer on the Aces Jackie Young makes $72K per year. Winning the Commissioner's Cup would give her almost half her yearly salary in one night 👀

For My Parlay Gurus
Tonight's matchup will be a showcase of star-power vs. depth. A'ja Wilson has a legitimate MVP case this season, while the Sky collectively have six players averaging double-digits. I'm banking on Las Vegas covering spread in a high-scoring game between two of the WNBA's top offenses. Check it out 👇
Aces +2 vs. Sky: -110
Over 169.5 Total Points: -110
