With the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris now over, the WNBA is resuming its 2024 season this week.
Heading into the second half, the New York Liberty own the league’s best record (21-4) and sit 2.5 games ahead of the second-place Connecticut Sun. The Liberty, who also have the highest net rating (11.8), are a strong bet to stay there as long as their key players stay healthy.
Plenty of drama remains regarding the rest of the playoff bracket.
Only 0.5 games separate the third-place Minnesota Lynx from the Seattle Storm in fifth, while the gap between sixth and eight place is only 2.5 games. Even the last-place Dallas Wings can’t be totally overlooked because a hot stretch could help them close their 3.5-game difference on the Sky for the final postseason berth.
The regular season wraps up on Sept. 19 with the start of the playoffs to follow on Sept. 22.
