It’s an exciting time in the WNBA as the regular season nears the end. We have five games on tap to satisfy all of your DFS desires as we roll into the weekend.

We kick off the weekend with the Liberty heading to Connecticut to meet with the Sun. New York is currently enjoying a three game winning streak and is looking to gain ground on Washington in the standings. Connecticut has already stamped their ticket into the playoffs and is looking to keep hold of the number three seed in the playoffs.

Phoenix will head to Washington to face off with the Mystics. Phoenix has Brittney Griner back from a leg injury and is looking to get back on track as the regular season comes to a close. The Mystics have been without Elena Delle Donne and are looking to hold things together in her absence.

The Fever and the Lynx will play in what should be a one-sided contest. Minnesota is the best team in the league and should cruise into the playoffs as the number one overall seed. Indiana has had a forgetful season and though they aren’t technically out of playoff contention just yet, their chances of making it aren’t very good.

The Sky will host Candace Parker and the Sparks. Chicago is currently battling it out with Seattle for the last playoff seed while Los Angeles is looking to catch Minnesota.

Out west, San Antonio will visit Seattle. San Antonio is out of the playoff race and is already looking toward next season. Seattle has recently undergone a coaching change and is hoping to keep a firm grasp on the last playoff seed.
