WNBA Weekly Power Rankings
Week of September 9, 2019
The playoffs are here! Following the close of the regular season we have the final edition of our Her Hoop Stats power rankings for the 2019 season.
There wasn’t much movement in the final week, with the Washington Mystics and Connecticut Sun holding on to the top two places as they secured their top seeds and double-byes for the playoffs. In fact, the only movement this week was the Los Angeles Sparks climbing into the third spot after the Aces suffered a surprising loss to the Dream in the final week of the season.
Here are our final rankings (movements from last week’s rankings are noted in parentheses). Teams who will be participating in the 2019 playoffs are denoted by asterisks.
