Liberty alone at the top

1. New York Liberty (27-6)

Tiebreakers: vs. Lynx (1-1); vs. Sun (3-1)

All is well again for the Liberty, who used a big second half to pull away from the Storm and get back in the win column on Friday. They remain 2.5 games ahead of the Sun, and also own the tiebreaker between the clubs, and three games up on the Lynx. With just seven games remaining, it would take a major collapse for the Liberty to miss out on the No. 1 seed.

Key remaining games: vs. Lynx, Sept. 15

Sun reclaim second from Lynx

2. Connecticut Sun (24-8)

Tiebreakers: vs. Liberty (1-3); vs. Lynx (2-0); vs. Storm (1-1); vs. Aces (0-1)

The Sun got back in the win column this weekend with back-to-back victories over the Mystics and Storm, and are now a half game up on the Lynx in the race for the No. 2 seed. They face another big stretch ahead with the Storm and Aces up next on the schedule.

Key remaining games: vs. Storm, Sept. 3; vs. Aces, Sept. 6; at Aces, Sept. 15; vs. Lynx, Sept. 17

3. Minnesota Lynx (24-9)

Tiebreakers: vs. Liberty (1-1); vs. Sun (0-2); vs. Storm (3-1); vs. Aces (3-1)

The Lynx's seven-game winning streak came to an end on Friday with a surprise defeat to the Wings, who are suddenly playing terrific basketball. They were able to bounce back and defeat the Sky on Sunday despite Alanna Smith's absence, but still remain half a game back of the Sun.

Key remaining games: at Liberty, Sept. 15; at Sun, Sept. 17

Aces and Storm fighting over fourth

4. Las Vegas Aces (20-12)

Tiebreakers: vs. Sun (1-0); vs. Lynx (1-3); vs. Storm (2-1)

A'ja Wilson put together another terrific performance on Friday to lead the Aces past the Dream. As a result, they clinched a spot in the playoffs for the seventh consecutive season and leapfrogged the Storm again for fourth place. The big question now for the defending champs is whether they can build any sort of momentum.

Key remaining games: at Sun, Sept. 6; at Liberty, Sept. 8; vs. Sun, Sept. 15; at Storm, Sept. 17

5. Seattle Storm (19-13)

Tiebreakers: vs. Sun (1-0); vs. Lynx (1-3); vs. Aces (1-2)

The Storm were unable to build off their dramatic win over the Dream earlier this week and fell to the first-place Liberty on Friday. Now just 2-4 since the season restarted, they've fallen back down to fifth place in the perpetual tussle with the Aces for the No. 4 seed and homecourt advantage in the first round. On the bright side, they have clinched a playoff spot.

Key remaining games: at Sun, Sept. 1; at Sun, Sept. 3; at Liberty, Sept. 5; vs. Aces, Sept. 17

Surging Fever solidify hold on sixth

6. Indiana Fever (17-16)

Tiebreakers: vs. Mercury (3-0); vs. Sky (3-1); vs. Dream (3-0)

The Fever kept things rolling on Sunday with a big win over the Wings thanks to another big night from Kelsey Mitchell and Caitlin Clark. They are 6-1 since the Olympic break, which is the best record in the league in that span, and are now a full game up on the Mercury. Add in the tiebreaker and that's essentially a two-game advantage. Soon, they'll clinch their first playoff appearance since 2016.

Key remaining games: vs. Dream, Sept. 8

7. Phoenix Mercury (16-17)

Tiebreakers: vs. Fever (0-3); vs. Sky (2-0)

The Mercury's poor form post-Olympic break continued with a loss to the Aces on Sunday to drop under .500 for the first time since July 1. They are now one game back of the Fever in the race for sixth, and have lost the tiebreaker, making that essentially a two-game gap. To make matters worse, Natasha Cloud will be suspended for their next game after reaching the technical foul limit.

8. Chicago Sky (11-21)

Tiebreakers: vs. Dream (2-1); vs. Mystics (1-2); vs. Wings (2-1)

Chennedy Carter remains in the league's health and safety protocols, and the Sky look woeful without her and Marina Mabrey. They were beaten on Sunday by the Lynx to run their losing streak to six games. They are now clinging to the final playoff spot via a tiebreaker over the Dream. As of now, it's hard to see them hanging on.

Key remaining games: vs. Mystics, Sept. 11; vs. Mercury, Sept. 15; at Dream, Sept. 17

9. Atlanta Dream (11-21)

10. Washington Mystics (9-23)

11. Dallas Wings (9-23)

12. Los Angeles Sparks (7-25)
