Two WNBA playoff semifinals move forward Friday, Oct. 9, with both series reaching Game 3. The New York Liberty take on the Dream at home, 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 meet the Aces in Game 3. 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.
