Two of the league’s hottest teams face off Tonight in Las Vegas.
The Minnesota Lynx and Las Vegas Aces tip off at 8 p.m. ET Tonight, June 13, at Michelob Ultra Arena in Las Vegas. The game is part of the WNBA’s in-season Commissioner’s Cup tournament, which adds extra stakes to what is already one of the most compelling matchups of the regular season.
Minnesota arrives at 10-2 on the season with nine consecutive wins, while the Aces enter at 9-3 riding a five-game winning streak. Both teams have legitimate claims to being the best in the league right now, and Saturday night offers the first chance this season for them to make that case directly against each other.
Lynx
The game broadcasts nationally on CBS, making it one of the more accessible WNBA matchups of the weekend without requiring a streaming subscription to watch. For viewers without a traditional cable or satellite package, the game streams on Paramount Plus, which carries CBS live programming as part of its subscription tier.
Fubo also carries the game for subscribers, offering another streaming option for cord-cutters who already have that service. YouTube TV and DirecTV Stream, both of which carry CBS in most markets, are additional routes for live streaming access.
For viewers in Minnesota, local CBS affiliates will carry the broadcast. Las Vegas viewers can access the game through their local CBS station as well.
The simplest path to watching is through any platform that carries CBS live, whether that is a cable subscription, a satellite package, or one of the major live TV streaming services currently available.
What to watch for during the game
Las Vegas center A’ja Wilson is averaging 26.4 points per game this season and has scored more than 25 points in four of her last five outings, including back-to-back performances of 34 and 32 points. She presents the Lynx defense with its most significant individual challenge of the season.
Minnesota’s Natasha Howard counters with one of the most efficient shooting seasons in the league, averaging 17.4 points and 7.3 rebounds while shooting 65.2% from the floor. Jackie Young provides Las Vegas with 15.3 points and 6.6 assists per game, giving the Aces a second dangerous option that requires constant attention.
The Lynx are without Napheesa Collier, who remains out with an ankle injury, alongside Dorka Juhasz and Emma Cechova, the latter of whom is out for the season. Las Vegas is missing Dana Evans due to a leg injury.
Injury report and final details
Minnesota Lynx comes in with the rest advantage, having last played Tuesday compared to Las Vegas, which was on the road in Portland as recently as Thursday. The Lynx are also a perfect 5-0 on the road this season, which makes the home court edge for the Aces a less straightforward factor than it might otherwise appear.
For viewers planning to watch, the full game details are as follows. Tip-off is at 8 p.m. ET at Michelob Ultra Arena in Las Vegas. The game airs on CBS and streams on Paramount Plus and Fubo. Most major live TV streaming services carrying CBS will also have access.
