Atlanta Dream (22-13) at Los Angeles Sparks (12-23) — Game Preview
The Atlanta Dream (22-13) visit the Los Angeles Sparks (12-23) at crypto.com Arena on August 20, 2026, with the two franchises pointed in very different directions this season. Atlanta owns the bigger rebounding edge on the year, out-boarding opponents at 35.3 per game against the Sparks’ 31.1, a swing that shows up most in Angel Reese’s 12.0 rebounds per game, split between 7.0 on the defensive glass and 5.0 on the offensive end. Allisha Gray fuels the Dream offense at 19.7 points per game on 46.3% shooting and an even sharper 79.2% from the free-throw line, while Jordin Canada runs the show alongside her with 7.4 assists against only 2.6 turnovers per game.
Los Angeles counters with Nneka Ogwumike, who is putting up 16.9 points and 8.7 rebounds per game on 50.9% shooting, the kind of two-way production that has kept the Sparks competitive despite the standings gap. That gap is real: Atlanta sits just 1.5 games behind the league lead, and Los Angeles is 17 games back, a difference that shapes how each side is approaching the stretch run.

Players to Watch: Atlanta Dream vs. Los Angeles Sparks
Atlanta Dream
Allisha Gray — G. Allisha Gray anchors the Dream backcourt averaging 19.7 points per game while shooting 46.3% from the field, the clearest scoring outlet in Atlanta’s rotation. She backs that efficiency up at the free-throw line, converting 79.2% of her attempts, so fouling her rarely solves anything for an opposing defense.
Jordin Canada — G. Running Atlanta’s offense is Jordin Canada, who distributes at 7.4 assists per game while protecting the ball well enough to turn it over just 2.6 times a night. Her 31.5 minutes per game make her the engine that keeps the Dream’s possessions organized.
Angel Reese — F. At forward, Angel Reese controls the glass for Atlanta, pulling down 12.0 rebounds per game with a workload split almost evenly between the defensive end (7.0) and the offensive end (5.0). That balance gives the Dream second-chance opportunities most WNBA frontcourts can’t match.
Los Angeles Sparks
Nneka Ogwumike — F. Nneka Ogwumike remains the focal point of the Sparks’ frontcourt, producing 16.9 points and 8.7 rebounds per game on a sharp 50.9% from the field. She’s just as reliable from the line, knocking down 84.8% of her free throws, which keeps her efficient even in a tight offensive game.
Erica Wheeler — G. Point guard duties fall to Erica Wheeler, who feeds the Sparks offense at 5.3 assists per game while chipping in 9.2 points a night of her own. She’s turning the ball over just 1.9 times per game, a low number that reflects steady decision-making in Los Angeles’ backcourt.
Dearica Hamby — F. Dearica Hamby gives Los Angeles a second frontcourt scorer, averaging 15.1 points and 7.3 rebounds per game while shooting 55.3% from the floor. Paired with Ogwumike inside, she helps offset the rebounding gap Atlanta otherwise holds in this matchup.
