The updated playoff picture reflects recent developments: the Atlanta Dream secured a decisive 83-65 victory over the New York Liberty, while the Dallas Wings defeated the Seattle Storm 103-91, improving their record to 27-17.

The current seeding includes:

- Minnesota Lynx (32-11)

- Golden State Valkyries (31-12)

- Las Vegas Aces (30-13)

- Atlanta Dream (30-14)

- Indiana Fever (28-15)

- Washington Mystics (27-16)

- Dallas Wings (27-17)

- New York Liberty (26-18)

With their latest win, Atlanta has clinched the No. 4 seed, while New York's loss confirmed them as the No. 8 seed. Dallas will enter the playoffs as the No. 7 seed.

Minnesota has secured the No. 1 seed, but the Valkyries and Aces are in a competitive race for the No. 2 seed. Golden State can clinch the No. 2 spot with a win or if Las Vegas loses. The Aces need to win while hoping Golden State loses to avoid being locked into the No. 3 seed.

Indiana will be the No. 5 seed unless they lose on Thursday and the Mystics win, in which case Washington would take the No. 6 seed. As Indiana faces Minnesota, who has no seeding concerns, it seems likely that the Fever will remain at No. 5 heading into the playoffs.
