The Dream look to build upon a win over the Sparks.

The Atlanta Dream will face the Minnesota Lynx tonight in Minnesota at the Target Center.

The Dream will enter the game with an overall record of 6-6. They are coming off their largest win of the season as they defeated the Los Angeles Spark 87-74. The Lynx have one of the better records in the league at 11-3, and they are in first place in the Western Conference. Minnesota leads the all time series 28-12 and they have won the last two meetings.

Atlanta enters this matchup with a balanced record, looking to break the .500 mark and gain momentum as the season progresses. Their performance has been marked by strong individual displays but inconsistent team efforts.

Key players like Rhyne Howard and Allisha Gray have been instrumental in their victories, contributing heavily in points, rebounds, and assists. Howard is leading the team in scoring with 16.2 points per game and Gray is averaging 15.8 points per game. They are one of the better duos in the league.

To succeed against a formidable opponent such as the Lynx, Dream will need to maintain defensive intensity and capitalize on fast-break opportunities. The Dream’s inconsistency in their performances can vary significantly from game to game, impacting their ability to string together wins. The Dream has also struggled with maintaining possession, often giving up easy points.

Minnesota is enjoying a stellar season, sitting comfortably near the top of the standings. Their success is built on a solid foundation of teamwork, disciplined defense, and efficient offense.

Led by Naphessa Collier and her 21.1 points and 10.3 rebounds per game, the Lynx excel in executing their game plan and adapting to their opponents’ strategies. Their winning record is a testament to their cohesiveness and resilience under pressure. Minnesota has one of the top defenses in the league, often stifling opponents’ scoring opportunities. Their offense is well-organized, with high shooting percentages and effective ball movement.
