LAS VEGAS — Megan Gustafson scored a career-high 24 points and the two-time defending champion Las Vegas Aces rolled to a 98-84 win over the Dallas Wings on Thursday night despite resting four starters. The fourth-seeded Aces (27-13) open their best-of-three first-round series at home on Sunday against the fifth-seeded Seattle Storm.

The Aces’ bench will have a chance to shine in their final game of the regular season on Thursday night against Dallas as four of their starting five are not playing due to rest for postseason play.

If Las Vegas defeats Dallas on Thursday and the Connecticut Sun lose to the Chicago Sky, the Aces will finish in third. This would give Las Vegas a matchup against Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever in the first round of the WNBA playoffs.
