Currently, the Dream are trailing just one game behind the Chicago Sky for the eighth and final playoff spot. Their recent resurgence, fueled by a three-game winning streak since the Olympic break, has brought them back into playoff contention. This turnaround follows a challenging period where they lost eight straight games, including every July match, which saw them drop from a 7-9 record to 7-17. The Dream’s late-season rally has rejuvenated their postseason hopes.
The Fever have bested the Dream in their previous two encounters, securing victories of 91-84 and 91-79. Since the WNBA’s return from the Olympic break, the Fever have been in top form, maintaining a perfect record and improving their standing to 13-15.
