The Golden State Valkyries are officially a playoff team for the second straight season — and their defense is making them one of the most dangerous teams in the WNBA.

Plus, we preview three big matchups: Dream vs. Aces, Liberty vs. Sky and Fever vs. Tempo, including the key players and storylines to watch.

The Indiana Fever just delivered one of their biggest wins of the season — beating the Atlanta Dream 95-91 in overtime — and are making a serious case as one of the WNBA’s top five teams. Caitlin Clark, Kelsey Mitchell and Makayla Timpson came up huge as Indiana strengthened its hold on the No. 4 playoff seed.

Plus, the Minnesota Lynx continue to look like the team to beat after taking down the Las Vegas Aces 92-87 behind Olivia Miles and Napheesa Collier.

We also celebrate three WNBA legends — Candace Parker, Elena Delle Donne and Diana Taurasi — and examine how they helped shape the league and Chicago basketball. Parker and Delle Donne made a lasting impact on the Chicago Sky, while Taurasi's two decades with the Phoenix Mercury helped redefine WNBA greatness and connect generations of stars.

The WNBA playoff picture is heating up, and tonight's Aces vs. Mystics matchup could be a preview of a potential playoff battle. After Las Vegas' controversial decision to rest A'ja Wilson, Chelsea Gray and Jackie Young against New York, all eyes are on how the Aces respond.

We'll break down what Vegas needs to do to get back to its identity, how Washington can attack the Aces, and the biggest question heading into the game: What version of the Aces shows up tonight?

Plus, we recap Wednesday night's action, including Paige Bueckers' incredible second-half takeover, Minnesota surviving a 29-point collapse against Portland, and Golden State's statement win over Chicago.

And we're taking a deep dive into the New York Liberty's championship hopes. At 20–14, can Sabrina Ionescu, Breanna Stewart and Jonquel Jones get this team back on track? We break down the injuries, defensive inconsistencies, coaching transition and what New York needs to fix before the playoffs.

Caitlin Clark and Kelsey Mitchell are making a serious case for being the best backcourt duo in the WNBA. The Fever picked up an impressive 106–92 win over the Liberty, with Mitchell scoring 28 points and Clark adding 22 points and 10 assists. Indiana also knocked down 16 threes and showed why this duo is becoming such a nightmare for opposing defenses.

We also break down how the Las Vegas Aces can repeat as WNBA champions. From keeping A'ja Wilson at the center of everything to getting Chelsea Gray and Jackie Young healthy, making the Jewell Loyd addition pay off, improving their offensive versatility and winning the non-A'ja minutes, Vegas has several keys to solve before the playoffs.

Plus, we preview tonight's matchups:

Which team has the biggest statement to make tonight—and can anyone stop the Lynx?

The Minnesota Lynx are once again looking like a championship contender — but could this year's team be even better equipped to win it all?

We break down why the 2026 Lynx have a better chance of winning the WNBA championship than last year's team, including the massive impact of Olivia Miles, Kayla McBride's breakout offensive production, Natasha Howard's physicality and the added ways Minnesota can create offense when their system gets disrupted.

Plus, we preview tonight's biggest games:

The Minnesota Lynx are on FIRE! 🔥 Sitting at 9-1 in their last 10 games, Minnesota has established itself as one of the biggest championship threats in the WNBA. With Napheesa Collier, Olivia Miles and a historic performance from Kayla McBride, the Lynx are showing they have another gear heading into the final stretch of the season.

We’re also breaking down the Washington Mystics’ seven-game winning streak, their franchise-record defensive performance and Shakira Austin’s dominant play. Meanwhile, the Golden State Valkyries are 8-2 in their last 10 and sitting at No. 2, continuing their impressive push toward the playoffs.

And then there’s Dallas… 👀 The Wings have lost three straight, dropped six of their last eight and are dealing with injuries as they slide to No. 8 in the standings. Is this team in serious trouble?

Chelsea Gray just delivered one of the most clutch performances in WNBA history. 🔥

The Las Vegas Aces erased a 20-point deficit against the Indiana Fever before Chelsea Gray hit a game-tying three at the end of regulation AND a game-winning three in overtime. Meanwhile, A’ja Wilson posted 26 points and 16 rebounds as Las Vegas escaped with an 86-84 win.

Plus, the Minnesota Lynx finally lost after winning 10 straight, as the Los Angeles Sparks pulled off an 89-82 upset. Rae Burrell, Dearica Hamby, Nneka Ogwumike and Cameron Brink helped lead L.A. to one of the biggest wins of the night.

And we're breaking down a major roster move in New York: the Liberty have released Betnijah Laney-Hamilton and signed Marine Fauthoux to a multi-year deal. What does this say about the Liberty's vision moving forward, and where could Laney-Hamilton land next?

Finally, we preview the biggest games coming up this weekend:

🏀 Dream vs. Mystics

Who has the edge in each matchup? Which teams are under the most pressure? And can Minnesota bounce back immediately after its first loss in 10 games?
