WNBA Playoff Picture Heats Up: Big Games on Monday
22 Sep
Summary
- WNBA playoff standings could see major shifts on Monday.
- Liberty aim to extend win streak against the Dream.
- Paige Bueckers is a key player for Dallas Wings betting picks.
The WNBA playoff race is intensifying with just two games remaining in the regular season. On Monday, September 23, 2026, the New York Liberty, currently sixth, host the fourth-seeded Atlanta Dream in a pivotal matchup. This game is the first of two consecutive contests between these teams in New York, with oddsmakers favoring the Dream despite the Liberty's recent three-game winning streak and impressive 14-6 home record.
The Dallas Wings, sitting in eighth place, are also in action against the already eliminated Phoenix Mercury. Wings star Paige Bueckers is a focus for betting, averaging 20.6 points per game. She has consistently scored over 18 points and is expected to perform well against a Mercury team with a weaker defensive rating.
These late-season games could dramatically reshape the playoff seeding. Teams like the Liberty, Wings, and Washington Mystics, all with 26-16 records, have a chance to climb as high as the fifth spot. The outcomes on Monday could lead to a significantly different playoff bracket by the end of the week.
