(The <a href=\"https:\/\/globelynews.com\/tag\/minnesota-lynx\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Minnesota Lynx<\/a>, of course, have a big say in whether that becomes a reality.)<\/p>\n<p>The Dream are 8-2 in their last 10 games. And the Valkyries come with a similar momentum. They\u2019ve won four straight, surging past the <a href=\"https:\/\/globelynews.com\/tag\/indiana-fever\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Indiana Fever<\/a>, and now are in sixth place in the standings.<\/p>\n<p>Golden State\u2019s defense has been their calling card, allowing just 76.8 points per game, second-best in the WNBA. The Valkyries have held their opponents to below 60 points a game in three out of their last four games.<\/p>\n<p>Atlanta relies heavily on balance, with <a href=\"https:\/\/globelynews.com\/tag\/allisha-gray\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Allisha Gray<\/a> (18.8 PPG) and <a href=\"https:\/\/globelynews.com\/tag\/rhyne-howard\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Rhyne Howard<\/a> (16.5 PPG) leading a well-rounded rotation. Despite injuries, the Dream remain top-five in both scoring and defense.<\/p>\n<p>Prediction<\/p>\n<p>Atlanta and Golden State have split their two previous meetings this year.
