The Atlanta Dream have won 6-straight and sit 3.5 games behind the New York Liberty. The Dream beat the Storm in their most recent outing, 85-75.

In that 40-pint loss, the Lynx only shot 40% from the field and were out-rebounded by 15 boards. They also turned the ball over 15 times, so will have to take care of the ball on Tuesday.

The Dream are giving up the most points to opponents in the entire league. Teams are averaging 86.4 points per game when they play Atlanta. On the flip side, the Lynx are giving up the second worst FG% and the second worst 3-point FG %. With two defenses who struggle to stop the ball, there should be a lot of offense.
