The Atlanta Dream will conclude their two-game homestand on Friday after hosting the Chicago Sky at the Gateway Center. This matchup marks the third Commissioner’s Cup game for both teams this season.
Angel Reese and the Sky have had a rocky start to the season. After dropping their first four games, they showed signs of improvement with back-to-back wins over the Dallas Wings. However, they failed to capitalize on the momentum, suffering consecutive defeats on June 7 and 10.
The Dream has been one of the league’s top contenders. With a strong 6-3 record, they sit second in the Eastern Conference standings.
Their last outing, a 77-58 win over the Indiana Fever, marked their first Commissioner’s Cup victory. Atlanta dominated the Caitlin Clark and Sophie Cunningham-less Fever, with Allisha Gray and Brionna Jones combining for 44 points.
Bookmakers aren’t favoring the Sky for a win on Friday night. But Chicago fans will hope for Angel Reese and Co. to show more determination than they did in their last two games.
