And there was one. That’s how many games each team has left to play in the 2024 WNBA regular season. Thursday, we end the season with a bang, starting off with a trio of games at 7 p.m. ET.
The Chicago Sky will try to remain alive for the eighth playoff spot, needing to beat the Connecticut Sun on the road, as well as get some help, to do so. Like the Sky, the Atlanta Dream are looking to be that eighth team. They have the spot right now, so a win against the New York Liberty in Brooklyn is all they need. With the No. 1 seed locked up and nothing to play for, will the Liberty go easy? The third game that tips at 7 p.m. ET features the Washington Mystics playing at home against the Indiana Fever. The Mystics still have playoff hopes, and with Caitlin Clark and company unable to improve their standing, the Mystics are certainly hoping the Fever take it easy.
At 8 p.m. ET, the Minnesota Lynx will take on the last-place Los Angeles Sparks. There is not much reason to watch this game besides morbid curiosity. The nightcap brings a double feature at 10 p.m. ET, with the Las Vegas Aces hosting the Dallas Wings and the Phoenix Mercury playing the Seattle Storm in what could be the last game of Diana Taurasi’s career.
Battle for the No. 3 and No. 4 seed
