🏀 WNBA playoff opener

League: WNBA Match: New York Liberty vs Minnesota Lynx Date and start time: Sunday, Sept. 27, 2026, time TBD (Target Center, Minneapolis)

Pick: Minnesota Lynx moneyline, -350 (FanDuel)

Sabally is out for New York and Stewart's regular-season finale absence was precautionary. Minnesota's bench unit closed the regular season with clean rotations. The Liberty are missing the defensive forward depth to match up for 40 minutes.

Pass on the spread. The minutes picture at backup guard is still cloudy.
