Two WNBA playoff semifinals are on the schedule Friday, Oct. 9, with both series reaching Game 3. The New York Liberty host the Atlanta Dream, though Atlanta is without an important player as guard Allisha Gray is ruled out with an injury. The Liberty hold the series advantage and play at home.

In the other semifinal, the Golden State Valkyries face the Las Vegas Aces. Golden State won away from home in Game 2 and now sits one win from a Finals berth. The Valkyries used their full roster to beat the Aces in Game 2, setting up a high-stakes Game 3 on Friday.
