🏀 Where things stand
- East: Atlanta 5-2 No. 1 overall (Reese, Gray, Howard). NY & Toronto 5-4 chase; Connecticut 2-8 last.
- West: Minnesota 6-2 leads; expansion Portland 6-4 surprising; Dallas / Vegas / Golden State all 5-3; Phoenix 2-7.
📰 Storylines
- Aces (5-3) — slow title defense (a 99-66 loss to PHX); without G Dana Evans (leg, indefinitely).
- Wings — surging behind Paige Bueckers & rookie Azzi Fudd (a 24-pt night).
- Caitlin Clark — back from injury for Indiana; a road 3-pt slump (~10% away) has dogged the Fever.
- Lynx — carrying over last year's league-best 34-10 form; the West's standard.
👀 Games to circle
- Thu — ATL @ IND: Clark & the Fever host the league-leading Dream.
- Thu GSV @ MIN & Sat GSV @ LVA: measuring-stick stretch for the Valkyries vs the West's best.
- Dallas (Mon & Fri): Bueckers and Fudd on watch.
