Summary
Sunday’s first-round WNBA playoffs are headlined by Indiana vs. Las Vegas, with the preview backing the Fever at +145 and projecting the marquee series to reach a full three games.
Caitlin Clark’s return to form and Indiana’s late surge drive that call, while the Aces still bring defending-champion pedigree, A’ja Wilson, and three titles in the past four seasons.
Minnesota vs. New York is framed as the tightest other series, with the Lynx owning the league’s best record behind Rookie of the Year Olivia Miles and the pick favoring a three-game set at +100.
Golden State’s No. 2-seeded Valkyries are projected to sweep Dallas in two games at -130 on the strength of the WNBA’s best defense, while Atlanta-Washington is viewed as a likely two-game series without an official wager.
Beyond the bracket, the preview argues the league should lean into Clark-Sophie Cunningham-style rivalries, saying personality, physicality and viral moments are helping drive attention into the postseason.
