Brittney Griner is ready to face the Atlanta Dream tonight, averaging 18.3 points and 1.6 blocks per game this season. In her last matchup against the Dream, she scored 16 points.
The Atlanta Dream aims to secure another significant victory as they take on the Phoenix Mercury on Wednesday. Both teams are in excellent form, with the Mercury winning six of their last nine games, while the Dream, riding a two-game winning streak, are just 1.5 games away from a playoff spot.

Meanwhile, Tanisha Wright's Dream, holding a 9-17 record, are emerging as a dark horses for the playoffs after a recent resurgence. After losing eight of their last 10 games, they bounced back post-Olympic break, winning their last two home games.
