The GIST: Merry WNBA regular-season finale eve! With eight of the league’s 12 teams moving on to the upcoming postseason (and the top four earning home-court advantage), yesterday’s results helped clear up the playoff picture, but there’s still plenty riding on tomorrow’s six-game slate. Hoop yeah.

NY Liberty clinch No. 1 seed for the first time since 2015, Minnesota Lynx secure No. 2: The Libs cruised to the top postseason spot by beating the Washington Mystics 87–71 last night. No surprise here: seafoam superstar Breanna Stewart stuffed the stat sheet, notching her 16th double-double of the season.

• With NY’s dub, the highest seed the red-hot Lynx could snag was No. 2 — and they did just that, handling the Connecticut Sun in last night’s nail-biting 78–76 win. With 14 victories over their last 15 games, the Lynx might just be the hottest team heading into the postseason.

Atlanta Dream, Mystics, Chicago Sky vie for final postseason spot: There’s only one postseason spot left to be claimed, and it all comes down to tomorrow’s matchups. Prep three screens because the Mystics play the Indiana Fever, the Dream match up against the Liberty, and the Sky battle the Sun, all at 7 p.m. ET.

• And as if that wasn’t enough drama, there are five different playoff-clinching scenarios in play with the Dream as the only squad who control their own destiny. Let the scoreboard watching begin.

What else is on the line: The No. 3 and No. 4 seeds, NBD. Both the Sun and Las Vegas Aces (featuring new single-season rebound queen A’ja Wilson) booked their postseason tickets ages ago, but their final seeding is yet to be decided. Notably, the Aces hold the tiebreaker courtesy of a season sweep of Connecticut.

• As you read, the Sun host the Sky while the Aces welcome in the nothing-to-lose (or gain) Dallas Wings at 10 p.m. ET. It’s about to be electric.

Pink, gold, purple, and green — New York Liberty standout Sabrina Ionescu’s newest pair of Nike Sabrina 2s are certified eye candy. The freshest sneaks at Barclays Center were designed by two Liberty superfans: Jason Sudeikis and his daughter, Daisy.

• These Sabrina 2s were inspired by the Sudeikis’ love of women’s hoops, which has been on full display over the years.
• The best part? You don’t have to sit courtside to get in the game — just snag a pair of the Jason and Daisy Sudeikis Sabrina 2s, available now.

⚾ MLB: Minnesota Twins vs. Cleveland Guardians — Tonight at 6:40 p.m. ET — MLB.TV

• The first pitch of the postseason is less than two weeks away and these two squads are part of a heated three-way battle to claim the American League Central crown. Whether you’re team rally sausage or supporting the Super Mario bros, this race for October is must-see.

🏐 NCAA volleyball: No. 4 Louisville vs. No. 11 Kentucky — Tonight at 7 p.m. ET — ESPN

• This nationally broadcasted matchup is one of four (!!!) top-25 volleyball showdowns on the docket tonight, with defending champs No. 8 Texas vs. No. 20 Baylor rounding out the party at 9 p.m. ET, also on ESPN. A literal serve.
