WNBA playoffs begin this weekend

The much-anticipated WNBA playoffs get underway this weekend.

This season of the WNBA has had the highest viewership figures in its history — and the playoffs are expected to set similar records.

The back-to-back champion Las Vegas Aces hope to snag a third title, but they face tough opposition from the No. 1-seeded New York Liberty. Caitlin Clark's Indian Fever will also look to make a deep run.

Host Peter O'Dowd speaks to Noa Dalzell, senior WNBA writer for SB Nation for a preview of the tournament.
