With one week left in the regular season, key games will determine crucial playoff positions, including the battle for the final berth.

The New York Liberty are one win or one Minnesota Lynx loss away from clinching the No. 1 seed and home-court advantage throughout the playoffs.
The Chicago Sky, Atlanta Dream, and Washington Mystics are in a tight race for the final playoff spot, with key head-to-head matchups remaining.
The Minnesota Lynx and Connecticut Sun are vying for the No. 2 seed, which would provide a more favorable first-round matchup and home-court advantage in the semifinals.
The Las Vegas Aces and Seattle Storm are likely to face off in the first round, with home-court advantage still to be decided.
Indiana Fever, led by rookie Caitlin Clark, have secured a playoff spot and could be a dangerous team despite their early-season struggles.
