A thrilling and contentious All-Star Weekend in Indianapolis has come and gone, and it’s time for the regular season to resume. The second half of the season will get underway Tuesday night with a huge five-game slate that features a national TV doubleheader.

Caitlin Clark’s absence will take some sting out of the Indiana Fever’s matchup with the reigning champion New York Liberty, who are expected to have Jonquel Jones back. Later on, the Atlanta Dream will travel to the West Coast to take on the Las Vegas Aces, who had a frustrating first half. Elsewhere, the league-leading Minnesota Lynx will host Angel Reese and the Chicago Sky.

Less than two months remain until the end of the regular season on Sept. 11, and it’s time for teams to start making their playoff pushes. Before the games begin again, here’s a look at where all 13 teams stand with CBS Sports’ midseason grades.

Atlanta Dream: Grade: B+

• Record: 13-9
• The Basics: 4th in offense, 6th in defense, 3rd in net rating (plus-6.6)
• Reason for Optimism: Karl Smesko’s offense is legit
• Reason for Pessimism: Since Jordin Canada returned from injury, their primary starting lineup has a minus-0.9 net rating over 12 games.

The Dream limped into the All-Star break. They lost five of their last eight games and Rhyne Howard was ruled out until August after hyperextending her knee in a defeat to the Fever. Their revitalized offense, orchestrated by first-year coach Karl Smesko, is legit. They shoot a ton of 3s, grab a ton of offensive rebounds and rarely turn the ball over. Their defense is becoming an issue though, particularly late in games when they struggle to hold on to leads. They have a 107.4 defensive rating in fourth quarters, ranking 12th in the league.

Chicago Sky: D+

• Record: 7-15
• The Basics: 11th in offense, 12th in defense, 12th in net rating (minus-10.5)
• Reason for Optimism: Angel Reese has completely turned things around after her historically bad start
• Reason for Pessimism: They only have one win against a team in playoff position

Shorthanded loss to the Dream aside, the Sky had been more competitive leading up to the All-Star break. However, they remain four games out of the playoff race and have the third-hardest remaining schedule.

Connecticut Sun: F

• Record: 3-19
• The Basics: 13th in offense, 13th in defense, 13th in net rating (minus-19.8)
• Reason for Optimism: Leila Lacan has had great moments since arriving from overseas
• Reason for Pessimism: They are on pace to be the fifth team ever to finish last in both offensive and defensive rating

The Sun have lost 13 of their last 14 games and are on pace for the worst season in franchise history.

Dallas Wings: D-

• Record: 6-17
• The Basics: 8th in offense, 11th in defense, 11th in net rating (minus-5.8)
• Reason for Optimism: They may have hit on their two other rookie guards,
• Reason for Pessimism: Arike Ogunbowale is having a disastrous season

Golden State Valkyries: A-

• Record: 10-12
• The Basics: 10th in offense, 4th in defense, 7th in net rating (plus-1.4)

Indiana Fever: B-

Las Vegas Aces: C-

Minnesota Lynx: A+

• Record: 20-4
• The Basics: 2nd in offense, 1st in defense, 1st in net rating (plus-12.4)
• Reason for Optimism: They’re in full command in the race for the No. 1 seed
• Reason for Pessimism: Lowest free throw rate in the league (.234)

New York Liberty: A-

• Record: 15-6
• The Basics: 1st in offense, 2nd in defense, 2nd in net rating (plus-9.7)
