The confetti is still on the floor in Chicago. Now the league gets back to work, and Tuesday's five-game slate is where the standings actually move.
What Just Happened in Chicago
All-Star Weekend 2026 delivered. The real number from Sunday night: 19,783 fans packed the arena, a new WNBA All-Star Game attendance record. The league is growing, the audience is growing, and the electricity in that building was real. Team Spoon took the win, and Nneka Ogwumike did something that belongs in the almanac.
from the almanac: ogwumike passed maya moore for the most points all-time in wnba all-star game history this weekend in chicago. eleven all-star selections, and she picked the biggest stage to set the mark.
That is the kind of moment that stays. Back to the board.
What Tuesday's Slate Actually Looks Like
Five games drop Tuesday. Here is the full context on each matchup, because the records tell a story right now.
| Matchup | Time (ET) | Records |
|---|---|---|
| Connecticut Sun @ Washington Mystics | Tue 7:30 PM | 7-20 @ 14-12 |
| Toronto Tempo @ Minnesota Lynx | Tue 8:00 PM | , @, |
| Indiana Fever @ Seattle Storm | Tue 9:30 PM | 17-10 @ 6-23 |
| Portland Fire @ Las Vegas Aces | Tue 10:00 PM | 11-16 @ 18-8 |
| New York Liberty @ Los Angeles Sparks | Tue 10:00 PM | 15-12 @ 10-16 |
Seattle Storm Betting News: The Home Slide Gets Worse
Seattle is 6-23 overall and 1-14 in the Western Conference. They are on a three-game home slide. Indiana walks in at 17-10, playing some of the most consistent basketball in the East. The Fever are a road team right now with the record and the momentum. Seattle's home floor is not the haven it used to be, and that 1-14 conference mark tells you the competition has figured them out. The Storm are a live conversation for fades every single night until something structural changes in that roster.
New York Liberty Betting News: Five Straight Losses, Ugly Spot
New York is 15-12 but riding a five-game slide into Los Angeles. The Liberty are still the better team on paper, nine wins in the East against three losses in conference play. But a team that has lost five in a row is a team with something broken, whether it is the rotation, the energy, or the focus that comes from a deep mid-season run. Los Angeles is 10-16 and soft in the West, but they are at home, they are not on a five-game skid, and a team that desperate for a win at home is not a spot to get comfortable laying a number. Worth watching where the line sits before Tuesday night.
Las Vegas Aces Betting News: A'ja Wilson Just Hit 38
Portland visits Las Vegas after A'ja Wilson dropped 38 points in her last outing. Las Vegas is 18-8 and 12-4 in the Western Conference. The Aces are the class of the West, and Wilson in that kind of form is a different problem entirely. Portland is 11-16. The gap between these two teams is wide, and when the best player on the floor just reminded everyone what her ceiling looks like, that is a tell.
Connecticut at Washington
Connecticut is 7-20 and going on the road to face a Washington team that is 14-12. The Sun's Alyssa Thomas Austin put up 25 points in her last game, which is the one piece of genuine momentum Connecticut can point to heading into this one. Washington is still comfortably above .500 and at home. The Sun are a tough team to trust right now with that record.
What I'm Watching Next
No play cleared my number this morning. The overnight wire gave us records and context but no line movement, no injury confirmations, and no depth on rotation changes after All-Star travel. The five games Tuesday are genuinely interesting, especially that Seattle home fade and the Liberty's slide into a trap spot in L.A. I want to see the lines before Tuesday's slate locks in. Check back when those numbers firm up, and nothing gets played here until it does.
