PREVIEW: The Atlanta Dream enter the WNBA playoffs with a franchise-record 30 wins, bringing momentum and remarkable depth to their first-round series against the Indiana Fever. The Dream's interior size and bench depth have been hallmarks of their success, with eight players standing at least six feet tall and Brittney Griner anchoring their second unit. Atlanta averages 9.6 made three-pointers per game, which is 2.5 more than Indiana typically allows, while the Fever themselves average 8.3 made three-pointers. Notably, the Atlanta Dream rank second in the league in three-point attempt rate, with 42.0% of their field-goal tries coming from beyond the arc. The Indiana Fever arrive depleted but resilient, facing a Dream roster loaded with Olympians and veterans that their head coach admits they don't match up well against. Despite their challenges, the Fever possess a notable defensive strength in forcing turnovers, ranking third overall in opponents' turnovers per game. Led by Aliyah Boston, who averages 15 points and 8.2 rebounds, and Kelsey Mitchell, who emphasizes confidence as their biggest weapon, the Fever are prepared to play aggressively. Throughout the regular season, the teams traded wins in four meetings, with each game showcasing different moments of dominance - from Atlanta's one-point thriller to Indiana's 99-82 statement win.
