WNBA: Minnesota Lynx vs Washington Mystics
About Market
This market centers on which team emerges as the winner of the regular-season WNBA meeting between the Minnesota Lynx and the Washington Mystics at CareFirst Arena in Washington, D.C. The fixture lands in the final stretch of the 2026 regular season, a period in which conference seeding and playoff positioning are still in play for both sides, and it follows an earlier pair of meetings between the two teams in June. Traders are assessing the likelihood of each side prevailing, weighing road form, home-court advantage, injury availability and the earlier head-to-head results as they price a matchup between the conference-leading visitors and a home team pushing for postseason position.
Market Condition: Will the Minnesota Lynx defeat the Washington Mystics?
1. Market Outcomes and Resolution Criteria: Resolves MIN if the Minnesota Lynx are recorded as the winning team in the official final score, and WSH if the Washington Mystics are recorded as the winning team. A drawn result is not possible — overtime periods are played until a winner is determined. It resolves to Tie only if the game is cancelled outright with no make-up game played; in the event of a Tie resolution, all positions settle at $0.50 per share.
2. Definition of "Win": The winning team is the team with the higher points total in the official final score, inclusive of all overtime periods, as published in the official WNBA box score for the fixture scheduled 21 August 2026, 7:30 PM ET (21 August 2026, 23:30 UTC) at CareFirst Arena. Quarter scores, halftime leads, and in-game states have no bearing. A forfeit or awarded result counts as a win for the team designated by the WNBA.
3. Official Sources and Evidence: Primary source is the official WNBA scores page (https://www.wnba.com/scores) and the accompanying official box score. ESPN and Basketball-Reference may be used for corroboration only and never override the primary source.
4. Resolution Timing: The game status is checked from the scheduled tip-off onward, and resolution proceeds once the game is listed as "Final" or "Final/OT" on the primary source. The market resolves no sooner than 3 hours after the official final score is posted on wnba.com/scores.
5. Handling Postponements and Cancellations: If the game is postponed or suspended, the market remains open until the game has been completed, and resolves on the final score of the completed game. If the game is cancelled entirely with no make-up game, the market resolves Tie at $0.50 per share. Partial scores from an abandoned game are disregarded unless the game is officially resumed and completed.
6. Ambiguities and Disputes: Where sources conflict, the official WNBA box score is decisive. Score corrections officially issued by the WNBA before resolution are applied; protests, reviews, or statistical corrections raised after the market has resolved do not reverse the resolution unless the WNBA officially overturns the result before the resolution timestamp in Rule 4.
