PREVIEW: The Atlanta Dream will travel to Washington for a battle in the 2025 WNBA Commissioner's Cup, bringing with them an impressive record of seven wins in eleven games and momentum from back-to-back victories. The Dream have established themselves as a balanced team, ranking third in points per game at 83.9 and first in rebounds at 42.7, with a defense that allows just 78.4 points per game and ranks fifth in opponent 3-point percentage. Key players Allisha Gray leads the offensive charge with 19.9 points per game, while Rhyne Howard contributes 18.0 points and valuable playmaking, and Brionna Jones provides a physical presence inside with 9.2 rebounds per game. The Dream excel at getting downhill, attacking the rim, and generating extra possessions through offensive rebounds, ranking among the league leaders in points in the paint. The Washington Mystics enter the game fresh off a dominant 104-67 win against the Connecticut Sun, looking to improve their 4-6 record with a strong home-court performance. Brittney Sykes anchors the team with 20.6 points per game, while rookie Kiki Iriafen has impressed with 14.6 points and 9.4 rebounds per game. Defensively, the Mystics are fundamentally sound, ranking second in opponent shooting percentage and opponent 3-point percentage, often forcing tough looks and maintaining defensive discipline. The Mystics rank 10th in points per game (79.6) and free-throw percentage (74.6%), while their 32.1 rebounds per game (12th) limit second-chance opportunities. However, their shooting efficiency is respectable at 43.9% from the field (sixth), and their home-court defense helps keep games close.
