– Defending Commissioner’s Cup Champion 
New York Liberty to host Minnesota Lynx Streamed by Prime Video – 
– Championship Game Features Charitable Contributions 
to Non-profit Organizations Aligned to Teams’ Social Justice Work –
NEW YORK, June 17, 2024 – The New York Liberty will host the Minnesota Lynx in the Championship Game of the Commissioner’s Cup presented by Coinbase on Tuesday, June 25 at UBS Arena in Belmont Park, New York. Tip-off of the game is scheduled for 8:00 p.m. ET, exclusively streamed by Prime Video.
The Championship Game will be the culmination of the fourth edition of the Commissioner’s Cup presented by Coinbase, the WNBA’s in-season competition that designates a portion of regular-season conference games in the first half of the season as “Commissioner’s Cup games.”
In December, the WNBA announced a reconfigured format for the Commissioner’s Cup competition that resulted in each team playing a total of five Commissioner’s Cup games, one against each of its in-conference rivals. All WNBA games played during the two-week period from June 1-13 were Commissioner’s Cup qualifying games and count as part of the team’s 40-game regular-season win-loss record.
Due to Barclays Center once again serving as the host of the NBA Draft, the Championship Game of the Commissioner’s Cup presented by Coinbase will be played at the world-class UBS Arena, home of the New York Islanders.
The Liberty, 5-0 in Commissioner’s Cup play, earned the right to host the Lynx (4-1) in the Championship Game of the Commissioner’s Cup presented by Coinbase by virtue of having a higher winning percentage (.846) in all regular season games played through June 13.
Single game tickets for the Commissioner’s Cup Championship game will go on-sale to the public on Tuesday, June 18 at 3 p.m. ET <a href="https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/www.ticketmaster.com/event/300060CEFE0C28B1__;!!PMETyfE!K3nElYuxJBkfoXHFsBUEa2cG-H9CgGNdQLF6aUGZyeUWeDWHCoX9COhDHr90HtK9ZjViOHvrjnAd4g$">here.</a>
The Liberty and Lynx will be competing for a $500,000 cash prize pool in the Commissioner’s Cup Championship presented by Coinbase. In addition, Coinbase has committed another $120,000 in cryptocurrency with $5,000 guaranteed for each player participating in the Championship Game.
The Commissioner’s Cup presented by Coinbase continues to feature a platform through which the league makes charitable contributions to non-profit organizations aligned to the players’ social justice work. For each Cup game from June 1-13, winning teams earned a monetary donation of $3,000 for their chosen local organization; losing teams earned $1,000 for their selected organization. An additional $10,000 donation will be made to the non-profit organization aligned with the winner of the Championship Game of the Commissioner’s Cup presented by Coinbase and $5,000 will be made to the organization of the runner-up. The donations will be presented to each organization following the conclusion of the Commissioner’s Cup Championship.
New York will be playing for <a href="https://civicmattershub.org/new-york-liberty-partnership/">Women Creating Change</a>. Through leadership development, advocacy, and research, Women Creating Change empowers underserved women and gender-expansive people in the New York area to become transformative changemakers in their communities and beyond.
Minnesota will be playing for <a href="https://www.genderjustice.us/">Gender Justice</a>. Advancing gender equity through the law, Gender Justice envisions a world where everyone can thrive regardless of their gender, gender expression, or sexual orientation. Central to this work is dismantling the legal, political, and structural barriers to gender equity.
The inaugural Commissioner’s Cup was won by the Seattle Storm in 2021 (Breanna Stewart, MVP). The second was won by the Las Vegas Aces in 2022 (Chelsea Gray, MVP). Most recently, the Liberty defeated the Aces in 2023 (Jonquel Jones, MVP) and took home the Commissioner’s Cup, their first title in franchise history.

2024 WNBA Power Rankings Week 4: Liberty Clinch East with Hot Streak

This season marks the fourth Commissioner’s Cup Presented by Coinbase, the WNBA’s in-season tournament. It checks off several boxes: it raises the stakes of regular-season play, brings in new media and corporate sponsors, and creates more compensation for players who make it to the championship game with a $500,000 prize pool. Additionally, Coinbase has committed an additional $120,000 in cryptocurrency to the prize pool, which includes $5,000 for each player in the championship game.
The Commissioner’s Cup Presented by Coinbase also aims to spotlight the league’s social justice efforts. Bethany Donaphin, head of WNBA league operations, says the League is rooted in bold advocacy, so it was a no-brainer to include it in the platform we built for the Commissioner&#8217;s Cup.
“The WNBA has long been recognized as the most progressive league in professional sports, and it&#8217;s one that continually shows up as a leader in the social justice space,” Donaphin said. “So, really, why wouldn&#8217;t we use one of our marquee league events to address important social issues?”
The league prioritizes a player-led agenda in collaboration with the Women’s National Basketball Player’s Association (WNBPA). This season, the focus will be on civic engagement and reproductive health advocacy.
The Commissioner&#8217;s Cup has the opportunity to impact the communities where the games are being played. The 2024 Commissioner’s Cup presented by Coinbase will spotlight this season&#8217;s priorities.
<a href="https://www.harpersbazaar.com/culture/features/a45725543/how-the-wnbas-unrelenting-activism-changed-womens-basketball/">It wouldn’t be the first time</a> WNBA players used their platforms to showcase the power of voting. Most recently, and notably, in 2020 when players <a href="https://time.com/5927075/atlanta-dream-warnock-loeffler/">publicly advocated for </a>a candidate in the Georgia senate run-off race. But with a significant presidential election on the horizon, the League’s ongoing partnership with <a href="https://www.rockthevote.org/programs-and-partner-resources/athletes-rock-the-vote/">Rock the Vote</a>, a nonpartisan nonprofit, will tap into WNBA fans and focus on building the political power of young people through voter registration, education, and mobilization.
“Rock the Vote is thrilled to join forces with the WNBA and WNBPA to empower fans and drive voter engagement ahead of the 2024 election,” said Carolyn DeWitt, president of Rock the Vote, in a statement. “By harnessing the dedication of WNBA players and their supporters, we can inspire meaningful participation in our democracy and shape our collective future.”

Los Angeles Sparks guard Layshia Clarendon added that the Commissioner’s Cup is a way to spotlight initiatives that the players care about. The league accumulates donations for each team in Commissioner’s Cup-tagged games for hand-picked non-profit organizations specific to their markets. This puts organizations in the day-to-day community work at the center, allowing the League to localize its efforts.
“We&#8217;re not only basketball players,” Clarendon said. “We&#8217;re always thinking of ways we can be civically engaged and impact our community.”
In 2020, the WNBA and WNBPA <a href="https://liberty.wnba.com/news/layshia-clarendon-joins-wnba-wnbpa-social-justice-council/">formed</a> the Social Justice Council to be the driving force of timely and important societal issues. This season’s council is led by Clarendon, along with the Sun’s DeWanna Bonner, Aces’ Alysha Clark, Liberty’s Breanna Stewart, and Sky’s Brianna Turner.
“We&#8217;re a social justice league because we, frankly, kind of have to be,” said Clarendon. “We&#8217;re a league of predominantly Black women who have been at the intersections of race and gender. We inherently have to think about things like ‘double time’ and the way we move through the world.”
“Double time” or “double jeopardy” is a phrase coined to underline the multiple oppressions—race, class, and gender—Black women have to face simultaneously.
Clarendon continues: “One of the ways we can continue to impact, particularly around this election cycle, around voting, and something that the Social Justice Council is focusing on is reproductive rights and right over bodily autonomy.”
The Commissioner’s Cup presented by Coinbase championship game will be held on June 25, one day after the second anniversary of the Supreme Court’s overruling of Roe v. Wade, the landmark Court case that constitutionally protected the right to have an abortion — an overturn that Clarendon thought would never happen in their lifetime. Even the championship game proves it’ll be about more than just hoops.
“That&#8217;s something that we&#8217;re fighting with a sense of urgency. We&#8217;re seeing what&#8217;s happening in various states,” Clarendon added. “We think we can use our voice and drive people to the election this year and say, ‘Look, we need to vote because our rights are on the line&#8230;Our ability to have bodily autonomy is on the ballot this November.’”
As more eyes fixate on the WNBA’s on-court prowess, Clarendon and Donaphin hope the League’s long resumé of social justice comes into focus right along with it.
“For the new fan, welcome to the most dynamic league in the world with the most dynamic players, who do a little bit of everything, with also an amazing product on the court,” said Clarendon.
More eyes mean more opportunities to highlight what matters. As Donaphin puts it, “As we grow, we hope that our impact in these important areas of our society can grow, too.”

The Commissioner’s Cup’s Impact on Social Justice in the W

2024-wnba-power-rankings-week-three

2024 WNBA Power Rankings Week 3: Commissioner’s Cup Off to Hot Start

The Commissioner’s Cup, presented by Coinbase, is returning for a 4th season in the WNBA. While the core concept of an in-season tournament remains the same, how we get to and build up to that point looks slightly different. 
What’s different?
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400">Teams will now play 5 Commissioner’s Cup games instead of 10 qualifying games in years prior. However, all Commissioner’s Cup games will be played from June 1st to the 13th, condensing the period to highlight the in-season competition.</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400">Each team will play once against their in-conference opponents during the Cup qualifying games.</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400">The Commissioner’s Cup Final will be played on June 25th between the top teams in Cup play by record from each conference. The team with the best overall record in Cup play will host the final.</li>
</ul>
What’s the same?
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400">Commissioner’s Cup games (excluding the Final) will count for the regular season win-loss record.</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400">The Cup Final teams will still play for a $500,000 prize pool.</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400">Each team will be playing for a non-profit organization that aligns with player social justice work, and the accumulated donation money will be presented to those organizations at the end of Commissioner’s Cup play.</li>
</ul>
As we get ready for Commissioner’s Cup play, what teams look primed to make a run to the Championship Game? What stands out about their playing, and how might they improve over the start of June?
&nbsp;
Eastern Conference
Connecticut Sun
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="wp-image-185717 aligncenter" src="https://cdn.wnba.com/sites/4/2024/06/GettyImages-2154146323-scaled.jpg" alt="" width="960" height="640" srcset="https://cdn.wnba.com/sites/4/2024/06/GettyImages-2154146323-scaled.jpg 2560w, https://cdn.wnba.com/sites/4/2024/06/GettyImages-2154146323-300x200.jpg 300w, https://cdn.wnba.com/sites/4/2024/06/GettyImages-2154146323-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://cdn.wnba.com/sites/4/2024/06/GettyImages-2154146323-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.wnba.com/sites/4/2024/06/GettyImages-2154146323-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.wnba.com/sites/4/2024/06/GettyImages-2154146323-2048x1365.jpg 2048w" sizes="(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px" />
The Sun remain the lone undefeated team in the WNBA and has earned that top spot with balanced two-way play. They are second in the W in Offensive and Defensive Rating. If I had to pick a team from the East at this moment to make the Championship Game, it would be the Sun.
Part of what’s been so interesting about this team is that they’re thriving in spite of some of their inefficiencies. Let me explain.
Connecticut is currently doing a ton of things well on offense. They get to the line at the second-highest rate in the league, have the second-lowest turnover rate in the W, and have been strong on the offensive glass. All of these aspects are crucial to being an efficient offensive team. 
It’s also worth noting that six games in, the Sun are last in the league in three-point percentage and second last in field goal percentage at the rim. While both of these could be considered negative (and have been a hindrance in the early season), it stands out that this is more of an early-season anomaly than what I would expect to happen for the entire season. As the Sun continues to find its form, I would anticipate continued and even increased effectiveness.
&nbsp;
New York Liberty
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="wp-image-185719 aligncenter" src="https://cdn.wnba.com/sites/4/2024/06/FEATUREIMAGE_-Recovered-2.png" alt="" width="960" height="540" srcset="https://cdn.wnba.com/sites/4/2024/06/FEATUREIMAGE_-Recovered-2.png 850w, https://cdn.wnba.com/sites/4/2024/06/FEATUREIMAGE_-Recovered-2-300x169.png 300w, https://cdn.wnba.com/sites/4/2024/06/FEATUREIMAGE_-Recovered-2-768x432.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px" />
Similarly to the Sun, the Liberty have shot well below what I would anticipate throughout a season from deep, currently 11th in three-point shooting.
Last year’s WNBA Finals runner-ups and the Commissioner’s Cup champions are undergoing quite a bit of change to start the year. While the entire starting lineup is back, the bench looks incredibly different. Liberty head coach Sandy Brondello has been experimenting more with closing lineups and different combinations of the starters and members of the bench.
Figuring out how to maximize versatility takes time, and is something I look to see the Liberty do in Cup play. 
What I am most curious to see from the Liberty is for them to take full advantage of their size. They’ve shown glimpses of being able to get star center Jonquel Jones going early and often, but haven’t been in constant rhythm. The Liberty have also been below average on the defensive glass tied for 10th in defensive rebound rate, which has been problematic in allowing second-chance points.
The Liberty are a good basketball team but have the potential to hit a special stride as they unlock what differentiates their 2024 squad from last season’s.
&nbsp;
Western Conference
Las Vegas Aces
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="wp-image-185720 aligncenter" src="https://cdn.wnba.com/sites/4/2024/06/GettyImages-2155521587-1-scaled.jpg" alt="" width="960" height="640" srcset="https://cdn.wnba.com/sites/4/2024/06/GettyImages-2155521587-1-scaled.jpg 2560w, https://cdn.wnba.com/sites/4/2024/06/GettyImages-2155521587-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https://cdn.wnba.com/sites/4/2024/06/GettyImages-2155521587-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://cdn.wnba.com/sites/4/2024/06/GettyImages-2155521587-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.wnba.com/sites/4/2024/06/GettyImages-2155521587-1-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.wnba.com/sites/4/2024/06/GettyImages-2155521587-1-2048x1365.jpg 2048w" sizes="(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px" />
The Las Vegas Aces made a significant move on Friday, May 31st, signing Tiffany Hayes as she came out of retirement to play for the reigning champs. The Aces are a phenomenal basketball team, the standard in the game these past two seasons, and Hayes brings them an entirely different dynamic than they’ve had.
Hayes is electric off the dribble, much like Jackie Young, but gets to the paint more with her shiftiness and flexibility as a ballhandler. She can really create clean looks off the dribble, is dynamic off the catch as a slasher, and is a fantastic playmaker.
Her defensive attributes also cannot be undersold, capable of guarding multiple players on the ball, but is most adept at making rotations on the backline, helping into the paint, and darting into passing lanes.
Las Vegas already brings the best guard rotation in the league to the court each night, and with Hayes on the wing, this team gets deeper and more versatile. With Chelsea Gray still sidelined indefinitely, Hayes’ impact looms even larger. 
Did I mention Hayes is one of the best cutters in basketball? Playing off of the best post player in the game in A’ja Wilson, the lanes for Hayes to present herself for will be numerous: Per Synergy Sports, Hayes finished first in the WNBA in field goal percentage amongst players who had 25 scoring chances or more as a cutter, shooting 81.8% on cuts.
&nbsp;
Minnesota Lynx
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="wp-image-185721 aligncenter" src="https://cdn.wnba.com/sites/4/2024/06/GettyImages-2154647148.jpg" alt="" width="960" height="640" srcset="https://cdn.wnba.com/sites/4/2024/06/GettyImages-2154647148.jpg 8640w, https://cdn.wnba.com/sites/4/2024/06/GettyImages-2154647148-300x200.jpg 300w, https://cdn.wnba.com/sites/4/2024/06/GettyImages-2154647148-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://cdn.wnba.com/sites/4/2024/06/GettyImages-2154647148-768x512.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px" />
The Lynx lost their recent affair with the reigning champs, falling 80-66 to the Aces, although the game was much closer than the final score indicates. Minnesota has proven in the early season that it&#8217;s a different team than last year, with some glimpses of being a viable playoff contender.
While it’s understandable that the best player in basketball couldn’t be contained, (Wilson finished with 29 points and 15 rebounds), I’m curious to see how the Lynx continue to craft how they’ll better defend the paint, particularly the post.
Minnesota is a stingy defensive unit, but it is still ranked first in the league in terms of defensive rating. However, they are dead last in the WNBA in defensive efficiency in the post, per Synergy Sports. For reference, the Lynx are allowing the highest offensive efficiency in the league against Post-Ups (1.13 points per possession) and Post-Ups, including passes out (1.175 points per possession).
The post is not everything, as defense is more than defending one kind of play type. However, against the Aces and Sun, the top two teams in the league at present, the Lynx have struggled late in the game, defending against prime post matchups. Minnesota has a wealth of versatility and is still working Dorka Juhasz into the rotation after her return from overseas play.
This is a key storyline to follow in Commissioner’s Cup play and the season at large.
&nbsp;
Seattle Storm
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="wp-image-185722 aligncenter" src="https://cdn.wnba.com/sites/4/2024/06/GettyImages-2153225127-scaled.jpg" alt="" width="960" height="640" srcset="https://cdn.wnba.com/sites/4/2024/06/GettyImages-2153225127-scaled.jpg 2560w, https://cdn.wnba.com/sites/4/2024/06/GettyImages-2153225127-300x200.jpg 300w, https://cdn.wnba.com/sites/4/2024/06/GettyImages-2153225127-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://cdn.wnba.com/sites/4/2024/06/GettyImages-2153225127-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.wnba.com/sites/4/2024/06/GettyImages-2153225127-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.wnba.com/sites/4/2024/06/GettyImages-2153225127-2048x1365.jpg 2048w" sizes="(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px" />
The Seattle Storm are quietly starting to find a groove after a tough start to the season, playing eight games over a 16-day stretch. The defense has impressed from the Storm early, and the offense has begun to mesh as May has come to a close.
Skylar Diggins-Smith is averaging 18.3 points and seven assists over her last three games, all Storm victories. She’s shooting 60% from the field and over 50% from three. While those are unsustainable shooting numbers, it stands out that Diggins-Smith is starting to find a rhythm. Her patent pull-up jumper hadn’t quite been in touch yet, understandably, given her time away from the court. As she’s found her own rhythm, it’s only made it hit harder as she’s gotten her teammates the ball when and where it’s needed.
Diggins-Smith and Nneka Ogwumike have started to find an incredible synergy, arguably the most efficient and effective piece of Seattle’s halfcourt offense being their two-player game. Per PBP Stats, Diggins-Smith has assisted Ogwumike 12 times this season, resulting in 25 points scored. No player has been assisted by another individual on the team more than Ogwumike from Diggins-Smith or generated even 20 points off assists.
As Seattle looks to make a run at the Commissioner’s Cup, expect that duo to play a central part in supplementing the shotmaking dynamism of Jewell Loyd.

and Distinctive Rose Gold Graphics –
 CHICAGO, May 31, 2024 – The WNBA and the Wilson Sporting Goods Co., today unveiled the official game ball that will be in use throughout the WNBA Commissioner’s Cup presented by Coinbase in-season tournament, which tips off on Saturday, June 1 when the Chicago Sky, led by Angel Reese, the No. 7 overall pick in the 2024 WNBA draft class, visit the Indiana Fever and Caitlin Clark, the No. 1 overall selection and official Wilson Athlete (12:00 p.m. ET, ESPN).  That game marks the first meeting between Reese and Clark as pros.
The ball, featuring powerful new black and white colorways, is made of the same composite leather used in the manufacturing of the WNBA’s standard game ball, which integrates Wilson’s Evo NXT® construction.
“Introducing a new ball for the Commissioner’s Cup presented by Coinbase is a step forward in making our in-season tournament a distinct and recognizable WNBA tentpole,” said Bethany Donaphin, Head of WNBA League Operations. “The fire orange and white WNBA ball remains iconic, but this new black, white, and rose gold color scheme makes it instantly clear to fans when they are watching a Commissioner’s Cup game.”
Eight alternating black and white panels are highlighted by embossed, stylized graphics, with the rose gold color prominently featured against both backgrounds. An image of the championship trophy of the Commissioner’s Cup is visible on one white panel, while another features text identifying the ball as the “Official Commissioner’s Cup Ball,” and also bears the signature of WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert. Similarly, the iconic “Wilson®” name appears in rose gold.
The Official Commissioner’s Cup ball will be available for purchase beginning today exclusively at <a href="https://urldefense.com/v3/__http:/Wilson.com__;!!PMETyfE!OsejjthXzVpqhOrDvZdD30u0HxCueABWLlTpl5I7iCCYUSVEPb6g-4bm-dNS3rMxpq7hfzDbMPx1JaNqCaBDrMc$">Wilson.com</a>.
Launched in 2021, the WNBA Commissioner’s Cup presented by Coinbase is the WNBA’s in-season competition that designates a portion of regular-season conference games in the first half of the season as “Commissioner’s Cup games.”
In December, the WNBA announced a reconfigured format for the Commissioner’s Cup presented by Coinbase that will see each team play a total of five Commissioner’s Cup games, one against each of its in-conference rivals. All WNBA games played during the two-week period from June 1-13 will be Commissioner’s Cup presented by Coinbase qualifying games and are part of the team’s 40-game schedule with the results counting toward the team’s regular-season win-loss record.
The team from each conference with the top record in Commissioner’s Cup games will compete for a $500,000 prize pool in the Commissioner’s Cup Championship presented by Coinbase, which will be played on Tuesday, June 25 at the arena of the team with the best record in Cup play. Coinbase has committed an additional $120,000 in cryptocurrency to the prize pool, which includes $5,000 for each player in the championship game.
The Commissioner’s Cup presented by Coinbase will continue to feature a platform through which the league makes charitable contributions to non-profit organizations aligned to the players’ social justice work. For each Cup game from June 1-13, the winning team will receive a monetary donation of $3,000 for their chosen local organization; losing teams will earn $1,000 for their selected organization. An additional $10,000 donation will be made to the non-profit organization aligned with the winner of the Commissioner’s Cup Championship and $5,000 will be made to the organization of the runner-up. The donations will be presented to each organization at the conclusion of the Commissioner’s Cup Championship.

WNBA and Wilson Unveil Official Game Ball Of Commissioner’s Cup Presented by Coinbase Games

– WNBA’s In-Season Tournament to Feature 30 Games Throughout Two-Week Span in June During Which all Regular-Season Games will be Commissioner’s Cup Games –
– Team with Highest Winning Percentage in Commissioner’s Cup Play 
will Continue to Host Championship Game –
NEW YORK, December 18, 2023 – After three successful seasons of the WNBA’s version of its in-season tournament, the WNBA today announced changes to the format of the league’s Commissioner’s Cup presented by Coinbase, the in-season competition launched in 2021 that designates a portion of regular-season conference games in the first half of the season as “Commissioner’s Cup games.”
Effective with the upcoming 2024 season, the league’s 28th season, the reconfigured structure for the WNBA’s in-season tournament will see each team play a total of five Commissioner’s Cup games, one against each of its in-conference rivals.
All games played during the two-week period from June 1-13 will be Commissioner’s Cup qualifying games. Teams will play either three Commissioner’s Cup games at home and two on the road, or two at home and three on the road. All Commissioner’s Cup games will be a part of the team’s 40-game schedule and will count toward the team’s regular-season win-loss record.
“After crowning three Commissioner’s Cup champions since 2021, we believe it is time to introduce a new, streamlined format for the WNBA Commissioner’s Cup presented by Coinbase for the 2024 season,” said WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert.  “The newly designed, concentrated structure for this in-season tournament adds an increased sense of urgency and excitement as we place a particular spotlight on Eastern and Western Conference Commissioner’s Cup play in a two-week window near the tip-off of our regular season. The focus is on making the Commissioner’s Cup presented by Coinbase even more engaging for all our stakeholders, including fans, teams, players and the community organizations that collaborate with our teams during the designated games.”
The team from each conference with the top record in Commissioner’s Cup games will compete for a $500,000 prize pool in the Commissioner’s Cup Championship presented by Coinbase, which will be played on Tuesday, June 25 at the arena of the team with the best record in Cup play. The Commissioner’s Cup presented by Coinbase will continue to feature a platform through which the league makes charitable contributions to non-profit organizations aligned to the players’ social justice work. The accumulating donation dollars will be presented to each organization at the conclusion of the Commissioner’s Cup Championship.
The prior format for the Commissioner’s Cup presented by Coinbase consisted of 10 games per team – 60 in total – designated as Commissioner’s Cup games. Through the first three years of Commissioner’s Cup play, “Cup games” have been the first home game and first road game each team played against its five conference rivals. The teams from the Eastern Conference and Western Conference with the highest winning percentage in “Cup games” subsequently earned a spot in the Championship Game of the Commissioner’s Cup presented by Coinbase. The inaugural Commissioner’s Cup was won by the Seattle Storm in 2021 (Breanna Stewart, MVP). The second was won by the Las Vegas Aces in 2022 (Chelsea Gray, MVP). This past season, the New York Liberty (Jonquel Jones, MVP) took home the Commissioner’s Cup, their first title in franchise history.

Last week, we went a perfect 5-for-5 on WNBA props!
So, hopefully, this isn&#8217;t the comedown.
I really tried to refrain from old tricks, but I saw a couple of props that have done well for me lately, one of which I&#8217;m going back to in our one-game slate tonight featuring a possible WNBA Finals preview between the Las Vegas Aces and New York Liberty.
The other? You&#8217;ll see…
Of course, the Aces lost by nearly 40 points the last time these two teams met up and were hardly the only team ever stomped out in Flatbush. But tonight, they get their chance at redemption at home.
Here&#8217;s what I&#8217;m eyeing in Vegas.

<h2>WNBA Player Props Today</h2>
<h3>A&#8217;ja Wilson Under 20.5 Points (+106 Via FanDuel)</h3>
Time to play Trap or Trend!
A&#8217;ja Wilson&#8217;s scoring prop has been mostly money, save for a not-even-close under against the Liberty in the aforementioned whooping. Wilson finished with nine points and was limited to 25 minutes of play because garbage time came early.
Even before that, she shot 2-of-14 in what was her worst performance of the season.
But in totality, Wilson has gone over 20.5 points in each of her three games since and in eight of her last 10.
The Aces beat the Liberty on June 29, and Wilson only had 16 points on 6-of-9 shooting. So, against the Liberty, she&#8217;s 0-for-2 on this over this season.
For her career, StatHead says she&#8217;s averaging under 17 points per game in matchups against Jonquel Jones and is shooting 42.3% in the 12 games they&#8217;ve faced off.
It&#8217;s a great revenge spot for Wilson — and I think this is a sweat — but the over feels like a trap. I&#8217;m going slightly under.
<hr />
<h3>Sabrina Ionescu Over 5.5 Assists (+100 Via DraftKings)</h3>
Plus-odds for one of my favorite overs lately? Sure, I&#8217;ll take it.
Sabrina Ionescu has gone over 5.5 dimes in three of four games, including posting seven (with 31 points) against the Aces.
I&#8217;m going back to the well here.
Ionescu has had six or more assists in 11 of her last 15 games and has gotten to seven in each of her efforts against the Aces.
The Liberty broke their trend of squandering their winning streak after four games — which has happened consecutive times — to mount a six-game winning streak.
I think they lose tonight, but Ionescu&#8217;s playmaking shines once again, at least enough to hit this over.

WNBA Player Props Today: A’ja Wilson, Sabrina Ionescu Among Best Picks (8/15/23)

<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-180012" src="https://cdn.wnba.com/sites/4/2023/08/COVERIMAGE_CCDefense-1.png" alt="" width="1440" height="510" srcset="https://cdn.wnba.com/sites/4/2023/08/COVERIMAGE_CCDefense-1.png 1440w, https://cdn.wnba.com/sites/4/2023/08/COVERIMAGE_CCDefense-1-300x106.png 300w, https://cdn.wnba.com/sites/4/2023/08/COVERIMAGE_CCDefense-1-1024x363.png 1024w, https://cdn.wnba.com/sites/4/2023/08/COVERIMAGE_CCDefense-1-768x272.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1440px) 100vw, 1440px" />
On Tuesday night, the Las Vegas Aces and New York Liberty are set to face off for the third time this season. The star-studded battles have been highly anticipated and fun; however, what they haven&#8217;t been are close.
The Aces took round one back on June 29, blasting the Liberty 98-81 behind a dominant second half – namely the third quarter. The Aces won the period 27-14, extending a seven-point halftime lead to 20. An early Aces run in the fourth quarter pushed the lead to 27, effectively ending the game before the deficit lowered in garbage time.
The Liberty returned the favor during their meeting on August 6, beating the Aces 99-61 and handing them one of their worst losses in franchise history in the process. To say the Liberty dominated the second half would be a massive understatement; a 50-17 edge – 30-9 in the third quarter – is patently absurd. The Aces couldn&#8217;t even get the garbage time bump, only mustering eight points in the final frame.
Here&#8217;s hoping the Commissioner&#8217;s Cup Championship gives us the nail-biter we&#8217;ve been waiting for!
There are plenty of storylines to focus on in this one. A battle of MVPs, dynamic guards, and multifaceted wings that can take games over. The &#8220;dreaded&#8221; Super Team narrative that both teams have spent all season trying to shut down. 
If there&#8217;s one thing I&#8217;m curious about heading into the championship game, it&#8217;s who can turn the tide on defense.
We know these teams can score. The Aces lead the WNBA in offensive rating (114.7 points per 100 possessions) and outpace the 2019 Washington Mystics (112.9) for the best offense in league history. The Liberty isn&#8217;t at that level, but they rank second in offensive rating (108.5) and have raised their level <a href="https://stats.wnba.com/teams/advanced/?sort=OFF_RATING&amp;dir=-1&amp;Season=2023&amp;SeasonType=Regular%20Season&amp;DateFrom=07%2F15%2F2023">since the All-Star break</a> (110.4). 
Quiet as kept, both teams have been pretty good defensively, too. The Aces currently have the league&#8217;s best defensive rating (97.4 points allowed per 100 possessions), while the Liberty rank third (99.4). In each of their wins in this series, we&#8217;ve seen their defense kickstart their (transition) offense and flip games in their favor.
The Aces did a little bit of everything during the June match-up. They showcased at-the-level aggression – meaning their bigs stepped up near the screen-setter when defending a pick-and-roll. When playing the bigs further back against ball screens, they&#8217;d also have their perimeter defenders duck under picks to protect against paint touches. If all else failed, they&#8217;d simply switch the action to keep a body in front at all times, thus preventing the Liberty from generating advantages. 
<iframe loading="lazy" title="Aces defensive versatility vs Liberty" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/LiPVNBXyINA?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
It&#8217;s worth keeping an eye on the switching. The legendary Candace Parker was a big part of their defensive success in the first meeting. With her out for the foreseeable future, the Aces have had to lean more into their single-big lineups. They did so in the August meeting, though the Liberty found success posting up mismatches, generating over 1.2 points per post-up possession, per Synergy.
On the other side, the foundation of the Liberty&#8217;s defense is switching. They&#8217;re sometimes comfortable ramping up the aggression, playing Jonquel Jones or Breanna Stewart closer to the level of ball screens, but they&#8217;re at their best when flattening out actions with timely switches.
That was felt in the early August match-up, with the Liberty successfully bogging the Aces down with their switches. An Aces team that thrives on getting defenses off-balance and punishing them with drives &amp; dishes suddenly found themselves scrambling in half-court settings.
<iframe loading="lazy" title="Liberty switches vs Aces" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/88Gs05N4TaE?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
&nbsp;
A level of snappiness and cohesion is needed to pull this off against an offensive team as talented as the Aces. It&#8217;s not enough to keep the action in front; there&#8217;s an extra layer of execution needed to pull off the scram-switching — meaning on-the-fly off-ball switches to eliminate mismatches — that&#8217;s helped them protect their smaller guards.
As much as we&#8217;ll enjoy the potential bucket-getting of Stewart, A&#8217;ja Wilson, Sabrina Ionescu, Kelsey Plum, and others, this game will likely be decided by who can buckle down and execute their half-court defense.

X's and O's: Whose Defense Will Show Up in the 2023 Commissioner's Cup Championship?

<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-179876" src="https://cdn.wnba.com/sites/4/2023/08/COVERIMAGE_CCPreview.png" alt="" width="1440" height="510" srcset="https://cdn.wnba.com/sites/4/2023/08/COVERIMAGE_CCPreview.png 1440w, https://cdn.wnba.com/sites/4/2023/08/COVERIMAGE_CCPreview-300x106.png 300w, https://cdn.wnba.com/sites/4/2023/08/COVERIMAGE_CCPreview-1024x363.png 1024w, https://cdn.wnba.com/sites/4/2023/08/COVERIMAGE_CCPreview-768x272.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1440px) 100vw, 1440px" />
Have you ever stopped to revel in how lucky we are to witness two greats playing in their prime? Breanna Stewart and A’ja Wilson are two of the biggest names of the WNBA — two former MVPs, two All-Star captains, and two future Hall of Famers. Night after night, We tune into them as they defy the odds of gravity and gravitas. They’ve led their teams to the top two spots in the league’s standings. They both rock Instagrammable fits through their pre-game tunnels. They’re both the “super-est” players on their respective teams and chasing another WNBA Championship ring. 
Before that, they’re both vying for a chance to hoist the trophy of the 2023 WNBA Commissioner’s Cup Championship Game presented by Coinbase. The third-annual in-season tournament has seen variations of this duo — Stewie’s former Seattle Storm team taking the crown in 2021, where she snagged the MVP award, and Wilson’s Aces winning the Cup in 2022. This year would be the first time we see the two of them bout head-to-head for a prize pool of $500,000. 
Thirty games into the season — and a regular-season series tied at 1-1 — both Stewart and Wilson have proven what we already know. They’re really good at gettin’ buckets. But let’s break it down even further as to just how special this moment is. 
<h3>Stew York City</h3>
I’m a Marvel Comics fan by marriage. So, when I first heard about Breanna Stewart, Jonquel Jones, and Courtney Vandersloot joining forces in New York with Sabrina Ionescu and Betnijah Laney, I imagined the Avengers assembling. I thought Samuel L. Jackson had to be at the center of this plan. But it was, in fact, Liberty General Manager Jonathan Kolb (sans eye patch). He wanted to build something special, so why not have one of the most special talents in the history of women’s basketball at its center? Once Stewart elected to come to play for the Liberty in February, she made it clear that this was a decision for the betterment of the league. 
“I decided to go to New York because I want to continue to be great,” Stewart told ESPN after announcing the move with a Statue of Liberty emoji on social media. “And I want to go to the place where I can continue to help this league become better, to continue to raise the standard.” 
We had months before the season to fester on will-they-won’t-they Seafoam scenarios. The Liberty lost by 16 in their opening matchup against the Mystics, but in the first home game at Barclays Center, Stewart’s dominant 45-point career-high performance rocked the nay-sayers to sleep. After shooting over 70 percent from the field in 30 minutes, the roaring Brooklyn crowd gave her a well-deserved standing ovation. She grinned and <a href="https://www.facebook.com/reel/546286721040911">said</a>, “It feels like I made the right decision.” She broke the franchise’s single-game scoring record in only her second contest in a Liberty jersey. Unreal.
In year seven, Stewart has shown that her superpowers are still evolving. Mid-range? Splash. Slashing reverse lay? Easy. Three-ball from the top of the key? Money. This mixed bag of tricks at 6-foot-4 makes her nearly impossible to defend. Averaging over 20 points and almost ten rebounds per game, Stewart has become an MVP favorite once again. It’s a no-brainer; she’s helped resurrect a franchise from five consecutive seasons finishing below .500 to second place in the standings and its first championship banner within arms distance. Adding two-time Commissioner’s Cup Champion to her laundry list of accolades has a nice ring to it, too. 
<h3>M’VP Wilson</h3>
A’ja Wilson tried tap dancing, karate, and swimming as a kid before falling in love with basketball. Thank goodness she traded in her click-clack patent leather shoes for sneakers with a high-pitch squeak. Without it, we’d be deprived of mind-bending on-court performances, viral locker room antics, and an <a href="https://gamecocksonline.com/news/2021/01/15/womens-basketball-a-ja-wilson-statue-installed-at-colonial-life-arena/">11-foot-tall bronze statue</a>.
We’d miss out on back-to-the-basket post moves that look effortlessly cool. And free-throw line jumpers that cut through the net like a razor blade. And a suffocating defense that ends with a block into the fourth row. 
With a 38-point loss to the New York Liberty on August 6 in the rearview, Wilson had a message for the media — and anyone willing to listen. “I don’t need a stat sheet to validate who I am in this league,” she said in the post-game press conference. She finished with dismal 9 points on 2-14 shooting in the match. “That’s not going to shatter my confidence to continue to shoot that basketball.”
In her fifth season, we have ample receipt of Wilson’s ability (averaging 20 ppg) and her ability to bounce back after a loss. When Connecticut Sun snapped the Aces’ 7-game hot streak this season, they limited Wilson to only 13 points and handed Las Vegas their first L. But the next time they faced off, Wilson erupted for a 23-point-13 rebound double-double with a side of 5 assists to lead her team to victory.
The Dallas Wings inched out a win over the reigning champs in July while holding Wilson below her average on 38 percent shooting. Three weeks later, she retaliated with a monstrous six blocks, 22 points, and a W. 
Wilson now has the Liberty on this revenge list, highlighted and circled. Now, we wait. 
Years from now, we’ll look back and talk about the Stewart-Wilson rivalry era as lore. We’ll say things like, “You just had to be there,” and, “Back in my day, Stewie teased us throughout free agency with emojis.”
On Tuesday, August 15, at 9 pm ET, eyes will be glued to Amazon Prime to see another iteration of a Stewart-Wilson battle. Cash is on the line, bragging rights to tweet out, and a rose-gold trophy to uphold. The Aces and Liberty matchup a total of four times in August. Again I ask, how lucky are we?
