A’ja Wilson<\/a> enters the break pacing the league in both scoring and blocks, while also ranking fourth in rebounding. Even more frightening for her opponents, the three-point range she’s added (44.6%) has turned an already unguardable interior game into an impossible cover.<\/p>\nBut Wilson’s influence extends far beyond scoring. She can erase a defensive mistake at the rim, switch onto smaller players and dictate where an opponent is permitted to attack. Las Vegas asks more of her than any other contender asks of one player, and she continues to make that burden look routine. The Aces are 18-8, and oddsmakers have made Wilson a heavy odds-on favorite (-360 per FanDuel Sportsbook) to collect an unprecedented fifth MVP trophy, and for good reason.<\/p>\n
