**Las Vegas, NV** – The WNBA playoff picture remains in flux as the final postseason spot comes down to a three-way race between the Chicago Sky, Atlanta Dream, and Washington Mystics.

All three teams will face each other at least once in the final nine days of the regular season, with crucial matchups including a home-and-home series between the Mystics and Dream. The Sky currently hold a one-game advantage over the Dream and a two-game lead over the Mystics, but lost rookie star Angel Reese for the season due to a wrist injury.

The eighth seed will likely face the New York Liberty, who have a commanding lead in the league with a three-game advantage over the Minnesota Lynx. The Liberty and Lynx will clash this Sunday in New York.

Beyond the final playoff spot, the rest of the playoff picture is slowly coming into focus. The Lynx are in a close race for the No. 2 seed with the Connecticut Sun, while the Las Vegas Aces hold a one-game lead over the Seattle Storm for the fourth spot.

Indiana Fever rookie Caitlin Clark continues to impress, leading her team to the No. 6 seed. The Fever are battling for the fifth seed with Seattle and are two games ahead of Phoenix.

The New York Liberty remain at the top of the AP WNBA Power Poll, followed by the Minnesota Lynx. The Las Vegas Aces moved up to third, while the Indiana Fever, Seattle Storm, and Phoenix Mercury remain in their respective positions. Chicago and Washington followed closely, with Atlanta, Dallas, and Los Angeles rounding out the poll.

The WNBA season is reaching its climax, with intense competition and thrilling matchups shaping up for the final stretch of the season.
