WNBA Hot Offenses

Scoring Surge: Las Vegas Aces Lead WNBA Offenses This Week

Published

This one is team-level by necessity, and honestly the scoreboard tells the story fine. The last seven days of WNBA finals, ranked by points per game.

The loudest offense

Las Vegas Aces top the table with 291 points in three games, 97.0 per game, with 246 going the other way.

Right behind them: Chicago Sky, averaging 95.0 points themselves.

Nor is it a two-team story, Dallas Wings are averaging 91.5 themselves.

The quiet end

Los Angeles Sparks bring up the rear at 77.0 points per game over 2 games. Every lineup goes quiet sometimes; theirs has picked now.

That is a 20.0-points-per-game spread between the two ends of the table, and margins like that are exactly where weekly form shows up.

At a glance

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

TeamGamesPointsPer game
Las Vegas Aces329197.0
Chicago Sky219095.0
Dallas Wings218391.5
Atlanta Dream217587.5
Golden State Valkyries326287.3

Worth remembering

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.

Next up on the slate: Las Vegas Aces against Indiana Fever. Check back after that one goes final.
