The Portland Fire (5-3) visit the Atlanta Dream (4-2) in a WNBA 2026 matchup on Friday, May 29, at Gateway Center Arena in Atlanta.
With Portland sitting comfortably above .500 and Atlanta among the East's early frontrunners, both teams arrive with a point to prove. But it's the Fire squad that has a lot of momentum heading into Friday.
After going back and forth between wins and losses, the Fire finally settled down and won their last three games. They're coming off a 71-61 victory over the Connecticut Sun, where they forced their opponents to 17 turnovers and held them below 39% shooting.
Carla Leite is leading the Fire in scoring with 16.3 points, followed by Bridget Carleton's 15.3 points. They currently rank 10th in both offensive and defensive rating, but expect those numbers to jump if they win on Friday.
Meanwhile, the Dream are coming off a disappointing 96-81 loss to the Minnesota Lynx. They had a rough opening quarter, which gave the Lynx a springboard.
Allisha Gray, who is averaging 21.7 points this season, finished with 21 markers in the loss.
The Dream still have the third-best defensive rating in the league, but they have to do something about their struggles on offense.
