Seattle Storm - 18-11 (Last Week: 4)
First, the good news: a trio of quality victories against East foes Connecticut (86-74), Atlanta (91-84) and New York (65-58) has the Storm poised to overtake the West-leading Mercury. Now, the bad: team MVP Lauren Jackson is out indefinitely with a stress fracture in her lower back. Seattle's leading scorer with 19.2 points per game, Jackson had a bone scan last Friday that revealed the injury. But the Storm showed just how good they can be without her, besting the Liberty on Tuesday night for a sixth straight win that moved them to within one game of the Mercury.

Next three: 9/3 at Washington; 9/5 at Minnesota; 9/10 vs. Phoenix
