Overview
- Washington’s 93-77 victory over Indiana on Sunday tightened the race by moving the Mystics up in the standings and giving them key head‑to‑head tiebreakers over several rivals.
- Indiana star Caitlin Clark publicly scolded her team’s defense after that loss and is listed as probable (back) on the Fever’s latest injury report for the remaining Minnesota series.
- Olivia Miles passed Caitlin Clark’s rookie scoring mark in Minnesota’s recent win, giving the Lynx a fresh narrative in award conversations as they chase the top overall seed.
- Angel Reese set single‑season marks with a WNBA‑record 31st double‑double and became the first player to reach 500 rebounds, and her play has helped Atlanta close in on a top‑four seed.
- With only two games left and just two games separating fourth through eighth place, head‑to‑head results — especially Minnesota vs. Indiana and New York vs. Atlanta — will determine who gets home court in the best‑of‑three first round.
