Overview

• Atlanta has outscored Phoenix in both previous matchups this season, including a 95–72 win on August 1, and will aim to complete the sweep on Sunday.
• The projected Dream starting five—Jordin Canada, Brionna Jones, Allisha Gray, Naz Hillmon and Maya Caldwell—faces elevated roles with Rhyne Howard (knee) and Brittney Griner (neck) ruled out.
• Phoenix will field all eleven players on its bench and looks to leverage an 11–4 home record at PHX Arena, where it last posted a 35-point victory over the Indiana Fever.
• Despite matching up closely in scoring and shooting—Atlanta 84.6 PPG on 44.2% and Phoenix 83.7 PPG on 43.5%—the Dream maintain a defensive advantage with a +6.1 point differential.
• Both teams enter on multi-game win streaks as they vie for favorable seedings in the playoff races of the Eastern and Western Conferences.
