Dallas has the worst record in the WNBA at 4-16. The Wings, though, are healthier than Atlanta and play better at home.
The Wings are 2-6 at home. However, their last six home contests have been against strong competition - Mercury twice, Lynx (who they upset as double-digit 'dogs), Sun, Storm and Aces. Those teams are a combined 64-32. The Dream are 7-11.
Atlanta has lost three of its past four away games. The Dream rank last in the league in scoring and shooting percentage.
Making it worse for the Dream are the number of injuries they have. Rhyne Howard, their second-leading scorer, is sidelined with an ankle injury. Aerial Powers is out with a calf injury and point guard Jordin Canada, who had just returned after being all out all season, suffered a broken right finger that will keep her out indefinitely. Canada had started the past two games and was coming off her best performance.
