The WNBA playoffs field is set — but the bracket is not. The WNBA tips off the last week of regular-season play tonight with all eight postseason seeds still up for grabs.
No. 1 Minnesota can derail No. 2 Golden State’s path to the top with two wins. However, the Lynx are staring down a tough closing lineup featuring back-to-back clashes with No. 5 Indiana.
The Valkyries and No. 3 Las Vegas both face an already-eliminated slate. Though the Aces’ 3-0 regular-season series lead is good for a tiebreaker should the pair finish level.
Indiana and No. 4 Atlanta sit tied at 26-14. The Fever and Dream are subsequently battling for home-court advantage under the 1-1-1 playoff format.
Indiana will lean on its league-high points per game against Minnesota. Meanwhile, the Dream must survive its own two-game run against No. 6 New York.
The Liberty, No. 7 Washington, and No. 8 Dallas are knotted at 24-16, with the surging Wings gearing up for a fully eliminated final stretch.
The WNBA returns tonight at 7:30 PM ET, live across WNBA League Pass and USA.
