WNBA standings live: Updates on playoff seeds as regular season ends

It is the final day of the WNBA regular season, and we still have a lot to sort out.

The top eight teams – the Minnesota Lynx, Golden State Valkyries, Las Vegas Aces, Atlanta Dream, Indiana Fever, New York Liberty, Washington Mystics and Dallas Wings – are locked into the postseason. But with five games to be played on Thursday, Sept. 24, four seeds are up for grabs.

The Lynx got the No. 1 seed on Tuesday, Sept. 22. But after losing to the Indiana Fever, 96-77, Minnesota backed in when the Valkyries lost to the Portland Fire later in the evening.

The Dream earned the No. 4 seed and home court for the first round by defeating the New York Liberty, 83-65, on Wednesday, Sept. 23. Atlanta's win also locked the Wings in at No. 7 and the Liberty into the No. 8 seed.

So, by our count, the No. 2, No. 3, No. 5 and No. 6 seeds are still up for grabs.

With so much at stake, USA TODAY is providing a live look at each team's seeding scenario as games unfold Thursday.
