The Dallas Wings (9-24, 11th) will aim to break out of a two-game slump as they head into Friday’s game against the Atlanta Dream (11-22, 9th).
Currently sitting in 11th place in the WNBA standings, Dallas holds a (9-24) record and is trailing by two games for the final playoff spot. Their momentum from a prior three-game winning streak was halted, and they’ve since dropped two consecutive games, including a narrow 90-86 loss to the Washington Mystics on Tuesday.
Meanwhile, Atlanta, holding an (11-22) record and in ninth place, is neck-and-neck with the Chicago Sky for the 8th seed but lacks the tiebreaker advantage. If the season ended now, Atlanta would miss the postseason. The Dream are also struggling, having dropped five of their last six games, including a 74-66 defeat against the Phoenix Mercury on Tuesday.
