Indiana Fever vs Atlanta Dream: Live Stream, Score Updates & Must-See Highlights of Tonight’s WNBA Showdown

Playoff race stakes intensify on Sunday when the Indiana Fever visit the Atlanta Dream at State Farm Arena (5 p.m. ET, ESPN). Atlanta holds a 2-1 edge in the season series after sweeping a late-June home-and-home 108-101 and 113-96, while Indiana took the Commissioner’s Cup meeting 83-71. The fourth-seeded Fever lead the fifth-seeded Dream by just half a game, making this matchup critical for head-to-head tiebreakers and first-round home-court advantage. Form guide • Fever: 10-3 in their last 13, averaging 99.7 ppg on 50.9 % shooting and 43.6 % from three. • Dream: 8-2 in their last 10, pouring in 94.5 ppg and topping 110 in both recent wins over Indiana. Key storylines 1. Caitlin Clark’s surge – The rookie ranks third league-wide at 21.9 ppg and leads the WNBA with 8.3 apg, forcing defenses to pick between her deep range and her playmaking for Kelsey Mitchell and Aliyah Boston. 2. Atlanta’s balanced barrage – Rhyne Howard, Allisha Gray and Jordin Canada have each torched Indiana’s perimeter defense; all five Dream starters scored double figures in the June sweep. 3. Glass warfare – Rookie rebounding leader Angel Reese has logged double-digit boards in seven straight games, while Boston anchors Indiana’s interior on both ends. Second-chance points could swing the total.
