WNBA Playoffs - week of August 25

[BRS24]

And just like that, with three weeks to go, Las Vegas has vaulted into 3rd place, up 2 spots from last week. NY down 2 spots. SEA up 2, a bit safer in the "pit". IND down 2, a bit less safe.

Five mosh pit games (MPG) between #7 - 10th place.

• SEA with potential winnable vs IND and CHI and only 1 MPG. (6 games to go)
• GS 2 MPGs are vs WAS and IND, to get them out of the 8th spot. (7 gtg)
• IND has 3 MPGs vs SEA, LA, and GS. (7 gtg)
• LA has MPGs vs IND and WAS. (9 gtg)
• WAS has 2 MPGs vs GS and LA, with a toughie vs NY. (6 gtg)

Vegas should get by Chicago pretty easily on Monday to force a virtual tie with Atlanta for second. Thus, Wednesday's Vegas showdown in Atlanta will be one of the most important games of the season.

Sorry A'ja: I gotta pull for Allisha and Tehina (who has grown as a contributor to the Dream lineup lately).

With a win tonight at Chicago, the Las Vegas Aces would become the second team to clinch a spot in the playoffs, per the WNBA.
