Atlanta Dream Outlook
The Dream enter this matchup riding a four-game winning streak, looking to solidify their position as one of the top teams in the Eastern Conference. Atlanta boasts a high-powered offense, ranking second in the WNBA in scoring (85.9 PPG).
Key players to watch:
Rhyne Howard – Coming off a 33-point performance in Atlanta’s 94-87 win over Seattle.
Allisha Gray – Leading the team in scoring with 21.4 PPG, providing a consistent offensive threat.

Connecticut Sun Outlook
The Sun have struggled this season, sitting at 1-6 after suffering a 100-52 blowout loss to the New York Liberty—the largest margin of defeat in franchise history. Connecticut ranks last in the WNBA in scoring (70.9 PPG) and has the second-worst defense, allowing 89.1 PPG.
Key contributors:
Tina Charles – Averaging 16.1 PPG, providing veteran leadership.
Olivia Nelson-Ododa – Leading the team in rebounding with 6.4 RPG, crucial against Atlanta’s dominant frontcourt.
Connecticut will need to tighten up defensively and find consistent scoring options to compete with Atlanta’s offensive firepower.
