Each week, I compile power rankings from a bevy of respected sources across the WNBA handicapping community. Power rankings are designed to identify how many points a team would be favored by against an average team on a neutral field. By calculating the difference in ratings between the two teams (and adjusting for home-field advantage), you can get a ratings-implied spread to compare to the actual spread. Additionally, I’ve provided some comments on WNBA trends and numbers that stood out to me. Here are my latest WNBA power rankings, including the current WNBA power rankings and changes in WNBA power rankings over the last week.

WNBA Power Rankings: Numbers & Trends
- The Minnesota Lynx would be higher if not for Napheesa Collier (an MVP candidate) suffering an injury late last week. That’s likely the biggest factor dragging their team rating down compared to last week. There aren’t a lot of major shifts in team ratings at this point in the season, either, as you can see above.
- It’s looking like there are three pretty clear tiers of teams right now. Up top, we have the championship contenders in the Aces, Liberty, Sun, Storm, and Lynx. At the bottom are the Wings, Sparks, Dream, Fever, Mystics, and Sky. Then, there is whatever the Phoenix Mercury are. They’ve had impressive wins this season while also suffering some questionable losses. I’m not quite sure what to make of them at this point in the season, but if they’re fully healthy I think they’re closer to that top tier of teams and could give them a run for their money in a three-game series.
