What is online on the last day of the regular WNBA 2025 season

The longest regular season in the history of the WNBA has finally reached its last day, and there is a lot in play before the finals on Thursday.

Eight teams – The Atlanta Dream, Golden State Valkyries, Indiana Fever, Las Vegas Aces, Minnesota Lynx, New York Liberty, Phoenix Mercury and Seattle Storm – open the WNBA 2025 eliminatory series, but through Wednesday games, the seeds are determined for less than half of the series of the first series first -round.

Two of the four Thursday games have implications in the playoff series, including one that Also has an impact on the Draft lottery. But a sequence of victories and a place in WNBA records are also at stake. Here is what to look at when the first regular season of 44 games in the league is coming to an end and the image of the playoffs is finally locked up.

The seeds that have been determined

Seed n ° 1: Minnesota lynx

Seed n ° 4: Phoenix Mercury (will play New York in the first round)

Seed n ° 5: New York Liberty (will play Phoenix in the first round)

Thursday game with sowing implications

Golden State Valkyries in Minnesota Lynx

Although the lynx has long locked the head of the WNBA qualifiers, their regular season final (8 and, NBATV) will determine who they are confronted in the first round, as well as the order of seeds n ° 6, 7 and 8.

After losing Tuesday against Seattle – a victory that won the storm a place of qualifying series – the Valkyries can finish with the sixth or the eighth seeded according to Thursday’s result. A victory would put Golden State sixthly, and a defeat would give it to the eighth and mean that the Valkyries would begin the playoffs where they would finish the regular season: in Minnesota.

This, in turn, would affect the sowing of the storm and the fever. A Golden State victory means that Indiana ends seventh and Seattle eighth. A defeat pushes the two teams in a place. This is partly interesting because the storm divided the series of the season with the Lynx, giving them one of the two defeats all season at the Target Center at the end of last month. So far, Minnesota has won the three clashes with Golden State.

By finishing a scanning of the season series Thursday, Minnesota would avoid Seattle in the first round in favor of a team of Golden State which would make its debut in the playoffs. – Kevin Pelton

Las Vegas Aces in Los Angeles Sparks

To guarantee the seeded n ° 2, the AS will have to extend their sequence of victories at 16 consecutive matches (more on this subject below) to finish the regular season. Atlanta’s victory on Wednesday against Connecticut Sun on Wednesday in their regular season final gave the Dream 30 victories, but Las Vegas holds the equality break and would demand the seeded n ° 2 – and the advantage of the field at home if the teams meet in the semi -final – with a 30th victory on Thursday.

The last game of the regular season (10 p.m. HE, NBATV) also has implications for the WNBA Restchage Lottery. A Sparks victory would correspond to the two -year record of Washington Mystics of 30-52, which means that the teams would divide the ratings of the lottery and Washington would enter the lottery instead of a worst record this season – which means that the mystics would choose more than no team descended from top two selection.

This means that the storm interests the observers in this game. Seattle holds the choice of first round of Los Angeles in 2026 due to a 2024 trade which sent the n ° 4 choice to the Sparks, who selected Rickea Jackson. – Pelton

The hottest team in the League: a sequence of record victories … and the sign of things to come?

Since Minnesota rout Las Vegas 53 points on August 2, the AS has not lost, winning 15 consecutive games. If Las Vegas wins Thursday, the 16 consecutive victories would establish a record of the WNBA for consecutive victories to end the regular season. It would also equalize the Phoenix Mercury 2014 for the second longest sequence of victories in the history of the League of all kinds (the 2001 Sparks hold the record with 18 consecutive).

Although Las Vegas hopes to take momentum in the playoffs, could the victories sequence also be a warning sign of things to come? The three previous WNBA teams who won at least 15 consecutive games during the regular season won the championship. Can Aces win the title 2025 and join the Houston Comets 1998, Los Angeles 2001 Sparks and Phoenix Mercury 2014? – ESPN research

Thomas counted an eight triple WNBA record this season and became the first player in the history of the League with three consecutive triples last month.
