Minnesota Lynx and New York Liberty Remain Undefeated Amid WNBA Action

UNCASVILLE, Conn. — The Minnesota Lynx and New York Liberty continue to dominate the WNBA as both teams remain unbeaten heading into June. The Lynx hold a 7-0 record, while the Liberty closely follow with a 6-0 mark.

As the league transitions into Commissioner’s Cup play, the two teams are favored to meet in the tournament finals on July 1 for the second consecutive year. The Lynx notably secured victories over the Seattle Storm, Phoenix Mercury, and Golden State Warriors last week, maintaining a firm grip at the top of the power rankings.

The Liberty showcased their offensive prowess last week by recording their first 100-point game of the season, culminating in a significant 48-point victory against the Connecticut Sun. The win marked the second-largest margin of victory in WNBA history and tied the Liberty’s record for 19 three-pointers in a game.

While the Lynx and Liberty thrive, the Atlanta Dream are making headlines with a four-game winning streak. Under new head coach Karl Smesko, the Dream’s offensive game has transformed dramatically, propelling them to second place in scoring with an average of 85.9 points per game.

Atlanta guards Tiffany Hayes and Rhyne Howard combine for significant scoring, averaging over 61 points in a recent comeback win. Hayes expressed optimism about the team’s progress, stating, ‘We have the key pieces that we need to take us to that next level.’

In contrast, the Indiana Fever’s struggles continue as star player Caitlin Clark remains sidelined with an injury. This absence appears to have impacted not only the team’s performance but also betting activity around their games, with sportsbooks noting a nearly 50% drop in wagering on Fever matches since Clark’s injury.

Looking ahead, the WNBA’s competitive landscape remains intriguing as teams like the Mercury and Lynx aim to maintain their momentum while others seek to close the gap. The upcoming weeks promise exciting matchups, particularly for the Dream, who will face the Lynx on June 3.
