Atlanta Dream

Atlanta hasn’t had much luck at home lately, with their last three at the Gateway Center Arena ending in losses. They’ll have their work cut out for them tonight, facing off against a full strength New York Liberty.

Their most recent matchup was am 85-73 loss to the Dallas Wings. Despite the loss, the Dream got a decent performance from Cheyenne Parker, who scored 15 points and got 6 rebounds in her 27 minutes on the court.

Atlanta will need a strong game from Parker and from their top scorer, Allisha Gray. Gray is averaging 17.8 points and 5.6 rebounds per game so far this season.

The club is improving offensively, averaging 84.5 points per game, which is 5th best in the league. However, they struggle on defense, allowing 86.4 points per game, which is the second worst spot in the WNBA.
