The Atlanta Dream vs Chicago Sky matchup is one of the two WNBA Commissioner’s Cup games scheduled for Saturday. Both teams have struggled in the in-season tournament so far. Chicago has won just one of three games, while Atlanta has lost both of its games.
The Dream are 4-4 in the regular season and are third in the Eastern Conference. The Sky trail them by just one spot with a 4-5 record.
