PREVIEW: The Atlanta Dream arrive in Seattle riding a remarkable five-game winning streak that has positioned them as serious playoff contenders. The team is just a half-game behind the New York Liberty for second place in the standings, with an opportunity to potentially take sole possession of that spot depending on tonight's results. Despite facing injuries to key players like Jordin Canada, the Dream have gone 8-2 since the All-Star break, powered by Allisha Gray, who is averaging nearly 19 points per game and has scored 17 or more in four straight outings. The Dream are averaging 84.6 points on 44.1 percent shooting, with Gray contributing 18.9 points and 5.4 rebounds, while shooting 33.8 percent from beyond the arc and allowing just 33.4 percent shooting from deep. The Seattle Storm find themselves in a precarious position, having dropped five games in a row and risking falling out of the playoff picture. Despite having one of the most loaded lineups, they have struggled, with four of their recent losses coming by 4 points or fewer. The Storm are led by Brittney Sykes, who is averaging 20.5 points, alongside Nneka Ogwumike's 17.9 points and 7.2 rebounds, while shooting 33.4 percent from beyond the arc and grabbing 31.6 rebounds per game. With the season series currently tied 1-1, fans can expect another closely contested matchup that could come down to the final possessions.
