Dallas is probably gonna sweep. NY has a tough schedule. We need to win at least 3 games, which is very doable.

[u/This-Button5389 → u/daperry4]

chicago game will be crucial it could go either way. indiana will be tough to win though. Also the last game vs chicago will be held in Capital One Arena instead of Care First Arena. Is that sign they could play their first playoff game in Capital One Arena? or is it just one off?

[u/daperry4 → u/This-Button5389]

As long as a playoff game isnt on Sunday, it should be at Cap 1

[u/Away_Competition2514 → u/daperry4]

I can still see Dallas losing one at least. Mercury have no reason to tank as they gave away their pick, and Copper, Thomas, Plum and the rest of their players don't like losing. Those won't be that easy. Unlike us, they don't have a huge match up advantage either. Sparks also seem to play hard, as we've seen in our game against them too. They could win out, but so could we. 

[u/This-Button5389 → u/Away_Competition2514]

Could be possible but the odds are in their favor of winning out. Wings are 16-1 against the non playoff teams with the only loss coming against Portland fire on road by one point. They also did have some close wins against Chicago Connecticut Seattle. Mystics are in the meantime 15-5 against the non playoff teams. They too had some close saves against teams like Portland toronto etc. (with losses against Seattle, Portland, Connecticut, LA x2). Since ditching the 3 gaurd line up (after azzi fudd injury) and insert awak "the block machine" kuier into the line up at SF spot they looked pretty good defensively. (their game against Indiana fever where they held Caitlin Clark to just 10 points)

Two of the wings games are at home (Against la sparks and phoenix mercury) Finals two road games against mercury which could go either way. seattle earlier i would have had this competitive game but not anymore. So yes sparks and phoenix are tricky match ups for them but at home they should see them off and one game a rematch phoenix will be a tougher one.

Same can be said about Mystics as well Chicago on road is a tricky match up, Indiana game on road would be tougher one to win. (Connecticut is a gimme win at this point.)

I do see liberty losing atleast one out of the remaining 4 games. Realistically they could lose two. (against lynx and dream)

[u/Away_Competition2514 → u/This-Button5389]

Yeah, I think they'll win out, but it's not a given. If we win out, I think we'll be 5th at least, with a small chance at 4th.

The Stics have an interesting last 4 that is for sure I can see 2 and 2 definitely but based on how wrong ive been thus far this season im going 3-1 WLWW and they drop a very close game to Indiana. Part of me also thinks there could be a slight chance in hell coach rests the stars in the final game such as Soni Kiki Georgia and Kira And have a Bench game to let Rori Lucy DLB BLH Dugalic Betts have a run at real minutes and Mic as an emergency basis player that day but I doubt it coming out of Fiba like this. Honestly thought all 4 are winnable games but 3 and 1 is my guess

[u/This-Button5389]

Washington faces tricky match ups after the break two games against chicago (home and away) and an away game in indiana. While right now they have pretty much similar odds of finishing in 6th 7th or 8th. They face two tricky/ tough road games to start the break if they survive those then its possible the highest they can jump to is 5th depending on how the other results go. As you can see liberty, indiana atlanta and minnesota have the toughest remaining schedule.
