The All Star Break is a great time to assess the WNBA season so far and to look forward at to the run for the Playoffs. Of the thirteen WNBA teams, only eight make the Playoffs. For full WNBA coverage, EasySportz has everything you need.
#1: Minnesota Lynx (20-4): Led by MVP-candidate Napheesa Collier, the Lynx have been the league’s most consistent and cohesive team, especially formidable at home with a 12-0 record.
#2 Phoenix Mercury (15-7): Despite a roster overhaul and injuries, the Mercury have soared with their new “big three” of Alyssa Thomas, Satou Sabally, and Kahleah Copper, showcasing a dynamic, high-scoring offense.
#3 New York Liberty (15-6): The defending champions started strong but have been more vulnerable since Jonquel Jones’ injury, though they remain a top contender when healthy.
#4 Seattle Storm (14-9): After a slow start, Seattle has found its rhythm, demonstrating the strength of their veteran core with wins over top teams, making them a dark horse contender.
#5 Atlanta Dream (13-9): The Dream, under new coach Karl Smesko, have significantly improved their offensive rating and remain a strong defensive unit, making them a consistent threat.
#6 Indiana Fever (12-11): Despite significant injuries to Caitlin Clark, the Fever have shown resilience and potential, especially after winning the Commissioner’s Cup without their star rookie.
#7 Washington Mystics (11-11): The Mystics have rebounded from a mid-season slump, with rookie Sonia Citron impressing and the team showing improved efficiency on both ends of the court.
#8 Las Vegas Aces (11-11): The Aces have surprisingly underperformed, despite A’ja Wilson’s continued dominance, struggling for consistency on both ends of the court without key pieces from their championship runs.
#9 Golden State Valkyries (10-12): The expansion Valkyries have exceeded expectations, proving to be a legitimate playoff threat with a strong defense in their inaugural season.
#10 Los Angeles Sparks (8-14): Despite Kelsey Plum’s strong individual play, the Sparks have largely underwhelmed, struggling to find consistent team success around her.
#11 Chicago Sky (7-15): The Sky have faced challenges with a new coach and a season-ending injury to Courtney Vandersloot, leading to struggles with turnovers and overall consistency.
#12 Dallas Wings (6-17): The Wings continue to struggle with consistency and injuries to key veterans, despite the promising energy brought by their rookie guards.
#13 Connecticut Sun (3-19): The Sun have had a challenging mid-season, struggling with their overall record and appearing to be the weakest team in the league.
