Three weeks into the season, Minnesota sits No. 1 at 5-2 after rebounding from a 2-2 start with three straight wins despite Napheesa Collier’s continued absence.
Golden State and Dallas have been the biggest early risers: the Valkyries are 5-2 with a league-best +8.4 point differential, while the Wings are 5-3 behind Paige Bueckers’ 19.3 points per game.
Las Vegas ranks second at 4-3 despite an uneven start, with the Aces still buoyed by A’ja Wilson and a run of three titles in the past four years.
Indiana has also impressed at 4-3, with Caitlin Clark averaging 23.8 points and 9 assists, while defending expectations have weighed on injury-hit New York, which is only eighth at 4-4.
At the bottom, Phoenix has slumped to 2-6 after last year’s Finals run, and Connecticut is last at 1-8 with the league’s worst -14.2 point differential.
