The Lynx are riding a five-game winning streak despite Napheesa Collier -- a top candidate for WNBA MVP -- currently out for at least two weeks with an ankle injury. On Tuesday, they became the first team to clinch a playoff spot and have a big lead in the race for the No. 1 seed.

The Minnesota Lynx currently hold No. 1 position in the WNBA standings with an impressive 28-5 record. And on Tuesday evening, the league's top team will face off against the No. 3 squad in the standings: the New York Liberty.

With less than a month left in the WNBA regular season, the Minnesota Lynx have a firm lock on the top seed in the playoffs.

Sabrina Ionescu finishes with 17 points and 11 assists as the Liberty defeat the Lynx 85-75.
