  • The Liberty have claimed the top spot in the latest power rankings.

The 2024 WNBA season has delivered plenty of drama, particularly among the top teams.

The New York Liberty once again have the No. 1 spot in these power rankings, stealing the title from the Connecticut Sun. The Minnesota Lynx and the Las Vegas Aces have also spent time atop this list.

But now the Liberty stand alone entering the Olympic Break in the WNBA’s schedule.

These rankings and the latest WNBA championship odds at the online sportsbook help assess where the league currently stands:

Best WNBA Teams, 2024

1. New York Liberty

The Liberty lead the league in net rating and offense rating while posting the best record in the WNBA. This is the best team in the league ahead of the Olympic Break.

2. Connecticut Sun

The Sun rank No. 2 in defensive rating and net rating, but remain a distant second in these rankings after two losses to the Liberty just before the break.

3. Seattle Storm

Second-year guard Jordan Horston moved to the starting lineup, and the Storm are rounding into form after some growing pains early in the year.

4. Las Vegas Aces

Since point guard Chelsea Gray returned, the Aces have had more on-court success after losing six of their first 12 games. But recent losses to the Chicago Sky and Los Angeles Sparks prove the back-to-back champs aren’t on the same level this year.

5. Minnesota Lynx

Minnesota has stumbled since claiming the top spot in these rankings a couple of weeks ago, but the team’s main concern is Napheesa Collier, who is dealing with plantar fasciitis in her left foot.

6. Phoenix Mercury

Phoenix’s five-out system is perfect for Kahleah Copper, who leads the league with eight 30-point games this year.

7. Indiana Fever

Caitlin Clark, the WNBA Rookie of the Year odds favorite, set a league record with 19 assists in her final game before the break.

8. Chicago Sky

Angel Reese has been a double-double machine in her debut season, but the Sky might be bailing on playoff contention after trading Marina Mabrey to the Sun. 

9. Washington Mystics

The Mystics have played closer to .500 ball since their 0-12 start.

10. Dallas Wings

The Wings have six wins this year, but half of them came in the season’s opening month.

11. Los Angeles Sparks

Two of the Sparks’ six wins have come against the Aces.

12. Atlanta Dream

The Dream have lost eight in a row and haven’t won consecutive games since late-May.
