Next seven days: @ LV (September 4), @ GS (6 September)
Links defeated Seattle, Connecticut and Dallas in the last one week, as long as they live in the playoffs, to secure the benefits of the house. While they can affect the status of other teams – especially the Golden State, which they play twice – not at stake in their last four matches. Therefore, their best case is historic: if Links won and finished 36-8, they will have 81.8% win rate for a regular season, the second best in the history of the franchise behind 82.4% in 2016.

Ac was tied a franchise record with its 12th direct win on Wednesday, defeating Atlanta for a 3–0 series sweep and gave him a possible tiebreaker for number 2 seeds. And they won Phoenix (3–1), as well as the season series, so the aces also owns the tiebreaker, if needed. The best case for Las Vegas is to claim the number 2 seed and win a club-ricord winning streak with a full week for preparation for Minnesota on Thursday.

For Las Vegas a disadvantage and a win on Dallas, welcome the welcome point guard of Dream Jordan Canada Returned from hamstring injury in Monday’s victory in connecticut. The best case, they win out and lose one of their final four matches to give the Las Vegas dream number 2 seeds. Atlanta is the owner of a possible tiebreaker on Phoenix with a 3–0 season series sweep.

Mercury defeated Los Angeles, Chicago and New York in the last one week to win six of their last seven. Kahlih Copper The injuries have been limited to 23 matches due to injuries, but she is playing well in Postsen, scored 68 points in her last three matches. Optimal results for Phoenix – who played a game less than Atlanta and Las Vegas – to win their last five, while Sapna and Aces are defeated to give the mercury to the mercury at least once to give the seeds of number 2.
Previous ranking: 5
Next seven days: @ GS (September 2), @ C (September 5)
Liberty defeated Washington and lost to Phoenix in the last one week, which is difficult for New York to maintain speed from the end of July. Breena stewart A right knee bone faced him to sideline for 13 games. She is back, but Liberty still does not look like a defending champion. While they are technically running for 2-seeds, a more realistic best-case landscape is climbing in the top four, although it will not be easy with three of their remaining four games on the road.
Previous ranking: 7
Next seven days: Vs NY (2 September), vs dal (September 4), vs min (September 6)
Vulkiris defeated Washington and Indiana in the last week to beat 8–5 in August, all five defeats came in the top four teams in the current. They are more than 7-3 in their previous 10 and are closing in a playoff place, but Vulcaries still have to play Minnesota twice. Mathematically, no. 4 and 5 seeds are obtained, but not possible. A more likely is the best case 6-seed, which would be excellent for an expansion franchise that would not be Postsen.

The fever is still in a position of the playoffs despite the injury to all the seasons. He won a significant victory over Seattle and Los Angeles before losing to Golden State during last week. But they are not yet out of the forest; Sparks could still catch him for the final playoff spots. Fever can be technically finished as number 4, but it is unlikely that they will win their final four games And The teams will separate directly in front of them. A realistic best case for Indiana is number 6 seed – and return Cetleen Clarke For Postsen.

The storm has not really handled prosperity this season well. After falling in Indiana before defeating Minnesota and Chicago last week, she lost a 17-point lead in Los Angeles on Monday, falling 91–85 at home. Seattle would be close to closing a playoff position with a win; Now there are only two games to do it. The best case, the storm wins both to finish .500 at home and enter Postsen with 24 wins.
Previous ranking: 8
Next seven days: @ATL (September 3), @ ATL (September 5), vs dal (September 7)
Los Angeles lost to Phoenix and Indiana, then had to scramble to defeat Washington in the last one week. The main game of Monday was established in Seattle, in which the upper hand appeared till the storm went to the snow-wind. Sparks’ 91–85 victory kept Asha alive to eliminate her four-year playoff drought. He still has a lot of work with five sports, including three on the road. The sparks have a five-game winning line (in July), but will face Atlanta (twice), Phoenix and Las Vegas. The best case is winning four and hopefully 23 wins will be sufficient to increase Golden State, Indiana or Seattle.

In the last one week, Connecticut defeated Dallas before falling into Minnesota and Atlanta. Set to remember the playoffs for the first time since 2016, while uncertainty is facing whether the franchise will be sold, not a real best-case landscape for the Sun. But he won five games in the second half of August – he won in the last three months – and he was in 11th place, while playing a spiiler for Atlanta’s No. 2 seeds, as he still faces a dream twice.

The playoffs still had a possibility for mystics in mid -August, but all the winds have left that balloon. Washington is out of Postsen, which is not surprising for the reconstruction team. Mistics lost to New York, Golden State and Los Angeles in the last one week, and they are on the seven-game skid. Best case, they end the losing streak in their last three matches and Sonia citron And Kiki Irafen The WNBA All-Roki team has been named.
Previous ranking: 12
Next seven days: Vs. Con (September 3), @ IND (September 5), @ LV (Sept 7)
Akash fell in Phoenix and Seattle last week, and he would be out of Postsen for the second consecutive year. The Chicago is 2–17 since the all-star break and has a lot to find out for the future. The best case, the sky survives from the final place and perhaps affects the order of the top four seeds, as they still have games against Las Vegas (twice) and New York.
Previous ranking: 13

The only winning winged wings since July 30 was a point decision in Indiana on August 12. They are in the middle of the eight-game losing streak, falling in Connecticut, Atlanta and Minnesota last week. Best case, they will celebrate Piege Beukers‘An adjacent Ruki of the Year Award and hope that he wins the draft lottery for the second consecutive number 1 pick.
