However, they bounced back with four straight wins, capped by Chelsea Gray\u2019s game-winner against the Dream on Sunday. After playing five games in the season\u2019s first 10 days, the Aces are off until Saturday, when they host the Sparks and raise their third championship banner.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<h2><b>2. New York Liberty (3-1) &#x2194;&#xfe0f;<\/b><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Last Week:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> 2<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>This Week:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Thur. vs. GSV, Sun. vs. DAL<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A last-second loss to the expansion Fire is the lone blemish on the Liberty\u2019s record to open the 2026 season. They quickly avenged that loss to Portland with an 18-point win two days later. Led by Breanna Stewart (23.0 ppg) and the deepest roster of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wnba.com\/news\/global-game-international-players-rise\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">global talent<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> in the league, the Liberty are averaging a league-best 100 points per game.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<h2><b>3.

In their season opener, the Dream erased an 18-point deficit to defeat the Lynx, with Angel Reese sealing the win with a last-second block in her Atlanta debut. Eight days later, the Dream found themselves on the other end of a last-second loss, courtesy of Chelsea Gray.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<h2><b>4. Chicago Sky (3-1) &#x2b06;&#xfe0f;<\/b><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Last Week: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">10<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>This Week:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Wed. vs. DAL, Sat. vs. MIN<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The new-look Sky opened the season with four straight road games, including a win in Portland to spoil the Fire\u2019s return to the WNBA. Chicago has been the league\u2019s top defensive team out of the gates, posting league-best marks in defensive rating (97.2) and opponent field goal percentage (38.1%). However, the Sky lost leading scorer Rickea Jackson to a knee injury on Sunday, which could be costly if she misses extended time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<h2><b>5.

Golden State owns the league\u2019s second-best net rating through the opening week (+8.3), but will be tested this week with a road back-to-back against New York and Indiana on Thursday and Friday.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<h2><b>6.

However, Phoenix followed that with consecutive losses to Golden State and Minnesota, then bounced back with a win over then-unbeaten Chicago. Rookie Jovana Nogi\u0107 has been a revelation for Phoenix; she\u2019s averaging 16 points and 3.3 three-pointers on 65% shooting from deep, helping the Mercury shoot a league-best 38.5% from beyond the arc.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<h2><b>7. Washington Mystics (2-1) &#x2b06;&#xfe0f;<\/b><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Last Week:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> 12<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>This Week:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Mon. at DAL, Sun. at SEA<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">There have only been two overtime games in the WNBA so far this season, and both have featured the Mystics, who fell to the Liberty 98-93 last Sunday and defeated the Fever 104-102 on Friday. In their only non-OT game, Washington held off Toronto to spoil the Tempo\u2019s franchise opener. After their first three games were all decided by five points or fewer, can the Mystics get a decisive win this week when they visit Dallas and Seattle?<\/span><\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<h2><b>8. Indiana Fever (2-2) &#x2b07;&#xfe0f;<\/b><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Last Week:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> 3<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>This Week: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Wed. vs. POR, Fri. vs. GSV<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">So far this season, teams are 7-2 when scoring 100 or more points. The only two losses belong to the Fever, who put up triple-digit scores but still fell short, surrendering 104 and a season-high 107 points to the Mystics and Wings, respectively. There\u2019s no questioning Indiana\u2019s firepower, with Caitlin Clark breaking the WNBA record for most career games with 20+ points and 10+ assists just three games into her third season, but the Fever will need to improve their defense, which ranks 12th in opponent points allowed (91.8).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<h2><b>9. Minnesota Lynx (2-2) &#x2b07;&#xfe0f;<\/b><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Last Week:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> 8<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>This Week:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Thur. vs. TOR, Sat. at CHI<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Already without perennial MVP candidate Napheesa Collier, who is still recovering from offseason ankle surgeries, the Lynx have been dealt another blow as rookie center Emma \u010cechov\u00e1 has been lost for the season with a torn ACL. After opening the season 2-2 in four games decided by seven points or fewer, the Lynx are off until Thursday when they host Toronto before closing the week in Chicago.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<h2><b>10.

All three of their games have come down to the wire this season; after defeating the Fever, the Wings fell to both the Dream and Lynx down the stretch. With four games on the schedule this week, how many will come down to clutch time? And how will Dallas respond?<\/span><\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<h2><b>11. Toronto Tempo (2-2) &#x2b06;&#xfe0f;<\/b><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Last Week: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">14<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>This Week: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Tue. at PHX, Thur. at MIN, Sat. vs. POR<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">After coming up just short in their franchise opener against Washington, the Tempo earned their first-ever win against Seattle on Wednesday behind a combined 44 points from Marina Mabrey (26) and Brittney Sykes (18). Sykes ranks fifth in the WNBA in scoring, averaging 24.3 points over her first four games, thanks in part to her ability to draw fouls, get to the free-throw line (league-high 11 per game) and knock them down at a 90.9% clip. Can she keep it going when the Tempo visit Phoenix and Minnesota before hosting Portland in a clash of expansion squads?<\/span><\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<h2><b>12. Portland Fire (1-2) &#x2b06;&#xfe0f;<\/b><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Last Week: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">15<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>This Week:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Mon vs. CON, Wed. at IND, Sat. at TOR<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">After 24 years, WNBA basketball has returned to the Rose City. In their opening week, the Fire hosted the Sky and the Liberty twice. The Fire earned their first win in thrilling fashion, thanks to a buzzer-beating putback by Sarah Ashlee Barker. However, that remains the Fire\u2019s lone win as the Liberty won a rematch two days later. Portland will host Connecticut on Monday before embarking on its inaugural road trip with stops in Indiana and Toronto to close the week.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<h2><b>13. Los Angeles Sparks (1-3) &#x2b07;&#xfe0f;<\/b><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Last Week:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> 7<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>This Week:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Thur. at PHX, Sat. at LVA<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">While the Sparks rank in the middle of the pack on offense (their 107.7 offensive rating ranks eighth), they are dead last on the other end (121.3 defensive rating) through their first four games. L.A.\u2019s lone win came against the expansion Tempo on Friday behind 25 points from Kelsey Plum, who leads the WNBA in scoring at 26.8 points per game. However, if the Sparks want to climb the standings (and these rankings), they\u2019ll need to see major strides defensively.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p><b>14. Seattle Storm (1-3) &#x2b07;&#xfe0f;<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Last Week:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> 11<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>This Week:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Wed. vs. CON, Fri. vs. CON, Sun. vs. WAS<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Already shorthanded in the frontcourt after All-Star Ezi Magbegor sustained a foot injury while competing for Australia in the 2026 FIBA Basketball World Cup Qualifiers, the Storm were without second-year center Dominique Malonga during Sunday\u2019s loss to Indiana due to a concussion. Malonga is having a breakthrough season in Seattle, averaging 16 points, 7.3 rebounds, two steals and a block through three games. However, Seattle\u2019s lone win so far has come against winless Connecticut.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<h2><b>15. Connecticut Sun (0-4) &#x2b07;&#xfe0f;<\/b><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Last Week: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">13<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>This Week:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Mon. at POR, Wed. at SEA, Fri. at SEA<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">On Wednesday, it became official: the WNBA and NBA Boards of Governors unanimously approved the sale and relocation of the Connecticut Sun to Houston. The final season in Connecticut has gotten off to a slow start, with the Sun still searching for their first win after falling to New York, Seattle, and Las Vegas twice. This week, the team from the Northeast will be in the Pacific Northwest, visiting Portland on Monday before a two-game set in Seattle on Wednesday and Friday.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wnba.com\/news\/2026-power-rankings-week-1\">Source link <\/a><br \/>\nSee more: https:\/\/theglobaltrack.com\/<br \/>\nhttps:\/\/corinthiames.com.br\/<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the first two editions of the 2026 Power Rankings, from the offseason and preseason, much of the analysis could only be done on paper.
