Atlanta Dream vs. Seattle Storm preview
The Atlanta Dream and the Seattle Storm enter this fixture with contrasting results. The Dream has been on a roll with a three-game win streak, while the Storm lost their last game to the Minnesota Lynx. This contest will also play a huge role in the standings, as the winner of this game will occupy the fourth place in the table.
After a busy off-season where they signed the likes of Britney Griner and Brionna Jones, the Dream have started the season strong. Led by Allisha Gray and Rhyne Howard, the Dream are enjoying a strong run. That said, their wins have come against teams at the bottom of the pile. The Storm will prove to be their biggest test of the season so far.
On the other hand, the Seattle Storm will welcome the Dream at home for their first game of a three-game homestand. Having played three games away from home to start the season, the Storm have fared well, to say the least. Their wins this season have come against stronger opponents like the Mercury and the Aces, while also facing the table-topping Lynx in their last game.
Despite the Seattle franchise's promising start against powerful opponents, the Dream are not to be underestimated as they are one of the best teams in the league.
