Ah, a classic matchup! The Chicago Sky saunters into the game with notable efforts from Angel Reese, who's become quite proficient at pulling rebounds off the glass and dropping dimes in recent months, and Chennedy Carter, who has been an inexorable scoring machine. Not to be forgotten is Marina Mabrey, who has significantly contributed in all aspect of the game; juggling between scoring points, grabbing rebounds and serving assists. It's safe to say the Sky doesn't lack stars.
Traveling a bit south, the Atlanta Dream has got some impressive talent to boot. Allisha Gray with her sterling performance, has been the rainbow in a rather cloudy season averaging around 15.3 points in her last month games; highest among Dream's roster. Tina Charles, known for her ferocity on the court, has been nothing short of a beast on the boards with nearly 9 rebounds a game this season. There's also Rhyne Howard, most known for skillful playmaking and consistent scoring.
Taking a trip down memory lane, the Dream have clearly held the upper hand over the Sky in their past clashes. Each time they've met in the season of 2023, the Sky failed to spread their wings against the Dream. Also, with a head-to-head even in this season, the pendulum seems to swing in the Dream's favor.
In juxtaposition, the Sky's recent performances haven't been stellar with 3 losses in their last 5 games compared to Dream's one win in same number of significant matches. And let's not forget, according to the WNBA whispers, the Dream is perched higher in the Eastern Conference as a #7 as opposed to the Sky's #9, according to the crows in the grapevine.
Given historical context and recent performances, and despite the Sky's brighter stars, I envision the Dream surfacing victorious, mostly because of their ability to perform well under high-pressure situations. And not to mention, they have the invisible but immense advantage of playing in their own backyard.
