There’s been a lot of talk about the super teams and a certain rookie in the WNBA this season, but an under-covered aspect of the league is how much parity there is right now. Eight of the 12 teams are over .500 in their past 10 games — that includes the Washington Mystics, who started the year 0-12.

The New York Liberty and Connecticut Sun have set the pace this season, while the Minnesota Lynx won the Commissioner’s Cup and the two-time defending champion Las Vegas Aces have won eight of 10 after a slow start. And after seven years in a row as a bottom-four team, Caitlin Clark’s Indiana Fever are showing signs of life and are over .500 at home.
