Atlanta Dream News

Confirmed Lineup: Haley Jones, Allisha Gray, Rhyne Howard, Nia Coffey, Tina Charles

  • Jordin Canada (hand) — Injured

The Dream lost their last game, giving the Mystics their first win of the season. Washington converted 54.8% of its three-point attempts in that contest. Atlanta will now face Indiana, whose 33.4% three-point percentage is the league's fourth-best. Offensively, the Dream could use more production from Jones, who is averaging just 3.7 points and 3.1 assists in 19.5 minutes per game as she continues to start at point guard in Canada's absence.

Indiana Fever News

Confirmed Lineup: Caitlin Clark, Kelsey Mitchell, Kristy Wallace, NaLyssa Smith, Aliyah Boston

  • Temi Fagbenle (foot) — Injured

Dallas has averaged more turnovers per game (19.8) this month than any other team, contributing to an 0-4 record. During that time, the Wings' Offensive Rating (93.5) has been the third-worst league-wide. Things won't get easier against the Storm, whose June Defensive Rating (87.8) ranks second among all teams. Dallas and Seattle are facing one another for the first time this year just a game after Nneka Ogwumike scored a season-high 26 points in a win against the Sparks.

Las Vegas Aces News

Confirmed Lineup: Kelsey Plum, Jackie Young, Alysha Clark, A'ja Wilson, Kiah Stokes

  • Chelsea Gray (leg) — Active

  • Kierstan Bell (leg) — Injured

The Aces are .500 through their first 10 outings and have lost three consecutive games for the first time since 2019. During the losing streak, their -13.6 Net Rating has been the league's second-worst. Wilson acknowledged the rough start when asked about the team's recent play but didn't seem discouraged. "This is a long, long, long season," Wilson said. "I'm not going to press the panic button. I'm still going to bet on us. I know exactly what's in that locker room." The Aces will attempt to get back on track versus the Mercury, who have won three of their last four games.
