The first round continues with two games on Tuesday and five of the previous MVP winners on the court. The unique nature of the WNBA playoffs also means that two teams – the New York Liberty and Las Vegas Aces – can secure their spot in the semifinals, as the first round is a best-of-three series. Should the Liberty and Aces win, there will be a rematch in the finals. Meanwhile, the Atlanta Dream and Seattle Storm fight for their seasons and try to complete step one of an unlikely upset.
