The Atlanta Dream (4-1) visit the Minnesota Lynx (4-2) in a WNBA 2026 matchup on Wednesday, May 27, at Target Center in Minneapolis.
The two sides are meeting for the first time this season, and we're in for a treat. Both the Dream and the Lynx are pegged as serious contenders, especially with how well they're currently playing.
After a close one-point loss to the Las Vegas Aces, the Dream have bounced back with two straight wins. Recently, they carved out an 82-80 win over the Phoenix Mercury. The Dream actually trailed by 12 points after the opening quarter, but they showed their resilience to escape with the comeback victory.
Atlanta buckled down in the fourth quarter, outscoring the Mercury, 33-23. Four of the Dream's starters scored in double digits, with Rhyne Howard's 21 leading the way.
Meanwhile, the Lynx are also riding a two-game winning streak. They recently turned back the Chicago Sky, 85-75, thanks to their strong defensive effort. The Lynx's defense held the Sky to only 31.5% from the field, including 20.7% from the three-point line.
It's not a surprise, given that the Lynx holds the third-best defensive rating in the league (101.3). But of course, the Dream remains the best on that end, with a league-high 98.3 defensive rating.
