The Minnesota Lynx (31-8) visit the Atlanta Dream (25-14) for a 2026 WNBA regular season matchup on Sunday, August 30, at Gateway Center Arena.
Minnesota and Atlanta have split their two matchups this season. In the season opener, the Dream escaped with a 91-90 win. A couple of weeks later, the Lynx got their revenge via a 96-81 victory.
However, both teams are coming off respective losses right now. The Lynx sustained an 80-66 defeat at the hands of the Golden State Valkyries.
Offense was unusually difficult to come by for the Lynx in that game, as they only made 35.6% of their attempts. But it might just be a hiccup for Minnesota. They still rank second in the league in offensive rating (115.9).
As for the Dream, they're coming off a 101-83 loss to the Portland Fire. This time, defense was absent for Atlanta. They allowed the Fire to make 58.5% of their shots, including 43.3% from the three-point line.
The Dream had the same dilemma with the Lynx. They have the fourth-ranked defensive rating in the league (106.2). They still have an excellent defensive system, something they can use against the Lynx's offense.
