With the WNBA’s All-Star break in the rearview, all 15 teams head into a critical stretch with around 15 games left in the regular-season schedule.
The league’s best teams have begun to separate from the rest of the pack, with the eighth-place Mystics owning a 4.5-game cushion on the Fire, the first team out of the current playoff field. There’s time for Portland or even the Mercury, Tempo or Sparks to make a run and make things interesting, but the top eight feels close to settled. With the trade deadline approaching on Sunday, the league’s best teams have an opportunity to add to their rosters for the upcoming playoff push.
