Plus, which NBA contender can dethrone Celtics? - The Athletic

The WNBA regular season is winding down, and the playoffs are just around the corner. Here are three key questions to keep in mind as the postseason approaches:

1. Who will win the MVP award? A'ja Wilson, Breanna Stewart, and Elena Delle Donne are all in the running for the MVP award this season. Wilson is the reigning MVP, but Stewart and Delle Donne have both had strong seasons as well. It will be interesting to see who ultimately takes home the award.
2. Which teams will make the playoffs? The top eight teams in each conference will make the playoffs. The Las Vegas Aces, Chicago Sky, and Seattle Storm are all locks for the playoffs, but the remaining five spots are still up for grabs. Several teams are in the hunt for a playoff spot, including the Dallas Wings, Minnesota Lynx, and Phoenix Mercury.
3. Who will win the championship? The Las Vegas Aces are the favorites to win the championship this season. They have the best record in the league and are led by MVP candidate A'ja Wilson. However, several other teams could make a run at the title, including the Chicago Sky, Seattle Storm, and Dallas Wings.

In addition to the WNBA playoffs, the NBA playoffs are also approaching. The Boston Celtics are the favorites to win the championship this season, but several other teams could dethrone them. Here are a few contenders to watch:

1. Milwaukee Bucks: The Bucks are the defending champions and have one of the best players in the league in Giannis Antetokounmpo. They are a legitimate threat to win the championship again this season.
2. Golden State Warriors: The Warriors are one of the most successful teams in the NBA over the past decade. They have won three championships in the past five years and are always a contender.
3. Phoenix Suns: The Suns had the best record in the NBA during the regular season last year. They are led by Devin Booker and Chris Paul and are a serious threat to win the championship this season.
4. Los Angeles Clippers: The Clippers have one of the best duos in the NBA in Kawhi Leonard and Paul George. They are always a contender when they are healthy.

The NBA playoffs are always full of surprises, and it will be interesting to see who comes out on top this season. The Celtics are the favorites, but several other teams could dethrone them.
