Atlanta Dream vs. Dallas Wings: Who to watch out for
Lou Lopez Senechal and Diamond DeShields will be unavailable for the Wings. Asia Durr and Nia Coffey are still out for the Dream.
With the last five games being particularly good for Arike Ogunbowale, watch out for her continuing her rich vein of form. She has averaged 21.2 points and 1.7 steals a game, and will look to outshine Dream star Rhyne Howard.
The Dallas Wings will look to capitalize on their season sweep of the Dream and will look to progress to the second round. The Wings are the 3rd highest-scoring team in the WNBA and will cause Atlanta all sorts of problems.
Atlanta could cause the Texan team problems, if they tighten their unit, and focus on their defense. The last game showed the gaps in their plays, and fixing them could make them the dark horses of the matchup. Atlanta Dream vs. Dallas Wings is a series that could change the outlook of championship-hopeful teams.
