The Las Vegas Aces hosted the Minnesota Lynx on Saturday at 8 p.m. ET in a meeting that put the WNBA's two hottest records in the same building. The game at Michelob ULTRA Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, aired on CBS and was available through DIRECTV, fuboTV and Paramount+.
That is why lynx vs aces drew attention beyond a routine regular-season date. Minnesota came in at 10-2, first in the league to reach 10 wins, while Las Vegas was 9-3, so the matchup carried early weight in the standings and on the league's national calendar. Fans looking for a quick watch guide had one: CBS on television, or DIRECTV, fuboTV and Paramount+ for streaming.
The Lynx's record has held even with Napheesa Collier on zero games this season, which is the part that makes Minnesota's start harder to dismiss. The team has kept winning without its top line of attack, and the latest example came Tuesday night, when Minnesota beat the Dallas Wings 100-76 behind 24 points from Olivia Miles, 22 from Kayla McBride and 21 from Natasha Howard.
That win was built early and stayed lopsided. Minnesota led 58-38 at halftime, shot 23 of 32 from the field in the first half and made 6 of 8 3-pointers before finishing with a 75-60 edge entering the fourth quarter. The teams also combined to make 26 straight free throws before a miss with 56.8 seconds left, a detail that underscored how complete Minnesota looked even as the question around Collier remained unresolved.
For the Lynx, Saturday was more than another broadcast window. It was a chance to defend a record that has become a statement in itself, and to do it against an Aces team close enough in the standings to turn one game into an early measure of the league's balance.
