Lynx have the toughest remaining schedule. I can't see them winning either of their remaining games. Whereas I can see the three other teams winning 1 of 2. The Atlanta NY series will be interesting if one wins out or if they split.
vs Storm
@ Sun
Liberty are
@Dream
vs Dream
Dream is the same but in reverse pol
Phoenix is
vs Dallas
vs Chicago
I could see Phoenix lucking their way into the 8th seed but there seems little purpose for them making the playoffs, but with no first round pick, there is little purpose in NOT making the playoffs.

The Storm have the worst road record of the Top 6 teams at 8-8.
Unfortunately they have incentive to win since WAS is chasing them for that #4 seed, and WAS just has two games with IND left.

The Lynx can make the playoffs if they lose both, unlike the other contenders. They just need a lot of help if they do.

Working for the Lnyx, the last game against the Sun is somewhat meaningless for Connecticut. They can't move off the three seed and MN will want to win for Syl

I was thinking about that, but I think they’ll want to win with as little effort as possible. It’s a home game plus it’s on ABC. Who wants to lose on the biggest nationwide stage?
They may want to sit their more fragile players, like maybe Bonner or JJones. JJones has looked tired all season.

Can we get an update on the scenarios after tonight's slate of games?

I do believe Syl needs 34 points against the Sun to tie Katie Smith for 8th all time in points.

Only thing I can think of is maybe @myrtle thought @johnjohnW was asking about how last night's games affected the lottery odds, because maybe they care more about the lottery/draft than the playoffs, so they figured that johnjohnW did, too?

shades thread has it all. Lottery stuff, where teams are at in terms of playoffs, and who they play next. Not so much fluff. Just the facts.

I don't know what personal definition of "fluff" you're working with, but this thread has a much better breakdown of the playoff picture, IMO, if that's all that you're looking for.
