Dream (31% probability)
The Atlanta Dream aren't just title contenders — they are officially WNBA Finals bound. After sweeping through Washington in Round 1, Atlanta completed an emphatic 3-0 sweep of the New York Liberty, capping off the series with a thrilling 85-83 Game 3 victory.
Atlanta has put on a masterclass of balance and playoff depth throughout their undefeated postseason run. Driven by Rhyne Howard’s explosive perimeter scoring, Jordin Canada’s clutch playmaking, Angel Reese’s inside dominance, and an oppressive defense that completely dismantled the Liberty, the Dream march into the WNBA Finals riding white-hot momentum as they chase the franchise's first championship.
Valkyries (69% probability)
Fresh off of surviving a grueling three-game opening round against Dallas, the Golden State Valkyries have taken their fairytale run to historic heights. Golden State punched its ticket to the WNBA Finals by sweeping the Las Vegas Aces—punctuating the series with an 87-77 overtime victory in Game 3 to eliminate the three-time champions.
Driven by elite defensive suffocating and dominant rebounding, the second-year expansion squad joins Atlanta in sending a heavy-hitting favorite packing via a clean 3-0 sweep. Now, both upstart powerhouses prepare to clash on the title stage in a wide-open Finals matchup guaranteed to crown a first-time champion.
