Chicago Sky (10-11) at Atlanta Dream (11-10)

Posted August 06, 2009 11:00 pm

When: 6 p.m., Philips Arena

Recent results: On Wednesday, the Sky lost to the Indiana Fever 76-67; on Thursday, the Dream defeated the San Antonio Silver Stars 92-84.

Skinny: This is a great opportunity for the Sky to make a move. Atlanta sits in fourth place in the Eastern Conference, a full game ahead of the Sky. Only four teams in each conference make the playoffs, and with only 13 games left each game is critical now - The Sky hung tough on the road against the Fever, the best team in the WNBA, but came out on the wrong side thanks to rebounding a turnover woes. That can't happen against the Dream, or for the rest of the season for that matter - Atlanta boasts five players who average double figures in scoring, led by perennial all-star forward Chamique Holdsclaw (15.3 ppg). Jia Perkins and Candice Dupree each average about 15 points for the Sky.

Next: Sky at Detroit Shock, 5 p.m. Sunday
