The Connecticut Sun visit the Atlanta Dream on Tuesday night as the only game on the WNBA's schedule. Connecticut is currently the hottest team in the league, having won five-straight games now. However, the team has been winning mostly at home. Tonight that changes, but they'll take on a struggling Atlanta Dream squad on the road. Here's the latest WNBA game preview including odds, start time, channels, and how to watch the Sun vs. Dream live streaming online.
Game preview
No team is hotter than the Connecticut Sun heading into tonight's game. They've gone 8-2 over their last 10 games and are on a five-game win streak including a recent 96-88 win over Dallas.
Connecticut is one of just three teams to have already clinched a WNBA playoff spot, along with the Minnesota Lynx and Los Angeles Sparks, but they're still looking to secure the top spot in the East and a bye a bit deeper into the playoffs. Tonight they'll be tested on the road, though, where they're 7-6 this season. They've played Atlanta twice this season, losing once at Mohegan Sun and winning the other matchup in dominant fashion, 104-71.
Currently, the Atlanta Dream are struggling and in danger of missing the postseason if that trend continues. In their most recent game, they were defeated by a San Antonio Stars team that sits at the bottom of the standings. The team has lost seven-straight games but is somehow still right behind the No.
9 team Seattle and No. 8 team, the Chicago Sky. Atlanta is 1.5 games back in this chase for the final playoff spot with about six or seven games left on the schedule.
