This game is crucial for the Dream, as they are currently half a game behind the Chicago Sky for the final WNBA Playoff spot. With 11 more games remaining after Monday night's matchup against Indiana, every game is critical. The Dream (10-18) are only 2.5 games behind Indiana (13-16) for the seventh seed, and they still have one more game each against Chicago (11-18) and Indiana after Monday. 

Atlanta recently broke an eight-game losing streak in July, winning three of their last four games since the season resumed after the All-Star and Olympic break, keeping their playoff hopes alive. Meanwhile, Indiana has gone 2-1 after the break, with Clark scoring 23, 23, and 29 points in those games.


Indiana has scored 91 points in each of their two wins against the Dream this season. In their last matchup on June 21, five Fever players scored in double figures, leading to a 91-79 victory. NaLyssa Smith led the team with 21 points and nine rebounds, while Kelsey Mitchell added 18 points, four rebounds, and three assists. Caitlin Clark, Aliyah Boston, and Katie Lou Samuelson contributed a combined 36 points, 17 rebounds, and 11 assists in the win.
