The WNBA's famous in-season tournament is back on the docket when the league's resident superteams meet in Sin City on Tuesday.

The Aces are defending their crown from last year, trying to top the Eastern Conference in back-to-back seasons. But the Liberty are stocked heavily this year, and there will be powers that A'ja Wilson, Kelsey Plum, Jackie Young and Chelsea Gray will have to face in a different capacity.

Brenna Stewart, Jonquel Jones, Courtney Vandersloot and Sabrina Ionescu carried the Liberty to a giant 99-61 win over the Aces on Aug. 6. The only other time these teams met this season was in June when the Aces took the dub. They're 1-1 against each other this season with three more scheduled meetings — Aug. 15, 17 and 28.
