WNBA Hot Offenses

WNBA Hot Offenses: Las Vegas Aces Are Pouring It On

Published

Sometimes the cleanest read is the simplest one, points on the board. Over the last seven days, these are the WNBA offenses that have been doing the piling.

Who's piling it on

Las Vegas Aces lead the league at 95.7 points per game, 287 in three games, while allowing 238 over the same stretch. The formula has been simple: score first, score often.

Atlanta Dream are next at 94.7 points a game, close enough to argue.

Dallas Wings (92.0 per game) keep the top group honest.

The quiet end

At the other end, Seattle Storm have managed just 75.0 points a game across 3 outings, an attack still looking for its spark.

That is a 20.7-points-per-game spread between the two ends of the table, and margins like that are exactly where weekly form shows up.

The board

Here is how the top of the scoring board stacks up:

Las Vegas Aces328795.7
Atlanta Dream328494.7
Dallas Wings327692.0
Washington Mystics327391.0
Chicago Sky327190.3

The fine print

Everything above is counted from completed games in the window and nothing else: no strength-of-schedule massage, no projections, just the scoreboard.

A week of scoring says plenty about form and nothing certain about tonight, offense arrives in waves, and waves recede.
