How the WNBA season works

The WNBA regular season runs from May to September, with the Commissioner's Cup games played inside the schedule in June. The top eight teams reach the playoffs, which run through to the Finals in October.

What decides WNBA games

Games are 40 minutes with ten-minute quarters, so totals are lower than in the NBA, usually in the 150s and 160s. The season is short and dense, with several games a week and long trips, so rest and availability move the lines. A few star players carry a large share of their team's value, which makes injury news decisive.
