WNBA playoff race wings look to make late run behind their two stars the wnba's Dallas wings are a far better team than their 8 to 22 records suggests the roster has a plethora of talent top to bottom but has struggled with injury in recent Seasons this season in particular missing forward s Sab until the Olympics break was a huge loss Sab and point guard AR o gundo are one of the best dues in the WNBA but have never been healthy enough at the same time to show off their true power currently sitting 3 five games behind the eighth and final spot in the playoffs the wings might just be able to sneak into the post season the wings have won their last two games the last one against the defending back-to-back Champion Las Vegas Aces they have 10 games left to decide their playoff fate sting in 11th place in the standings the wings have the Washington Mystics Atlanta Dream and Chicago sky in their way it also just so happens that they play all three of those teams in the next two weeks the confidence of winning a game against the aces especially given that audre Wilson scored 42 points in the game is a huge boost for the wings going into the stretch run of the regular season those three games against the mystics dream and Sky obviously will be must-wins for the wings in order to climb the standings they'll also need to win the two September games against the Indiana Fever currently the seventh seed the fever sites 3.5 games above the sky in the standings five of the Wings final 10 games are against top five teams in the WNBA but Tuesday's win over the aces shows they can compete with anyone the wings have star power both OBO leads Dallas in scoring 22.2 points per game assists 5.3 per game and steals 2.4 per game she currently sits third in the league in scoring and is in a three-way tie for most three-pointers made averaging 2.9 per game her 2.4 steals per game is a leag best as well B mu's impact on the court goes beyond her numbers longtime women's basketball fans and Casual observers alike remember her stunning buzzer beating shot to win Notre Dame a national championship in 2018 that shot is emblematic of perhaps her greatest trait she's clutch B gumba whale can take the most circus-like shots and somehow they go in she thrives Under Pressure that challenge loving personality is needed to make a late season playoff push but o gunel can't do it alone having Sav back after she missed the first half of the Season recovering from a shoulder injury is critical in her five games back sabali is averaging 20.2 points 6.4 rebounds 4.8 assists and 1 .8 steals per game her 46.8% shooting from the field and 53.6% from three-point range are the perfect offensive compliment to oano in their win against the aces Sab scored 28 points on 86.4% true shooting the collective accuracy for points including free throws the wings are a different team with both ogunda whale and sabali healthy which makes them scary to opponents if they can squeeze themselves into the playoff field they have the potential to go far just last season they made the WNBA semi-finals before being eliminated by the aces we were in the semi-finals last year for a reason and I don't want people to forget that Sab said after Tuesday's game with aoel and Sab leading the charge the wings certainly have a chance they're still on the outside looking in but the remaining schedule gives them a chance to make up those 3.5 games
