In the third matchup of the year, the Indiana Fever travel to Atlanta to face the Dream at the Gateway Center on Sunday at 3:00 p.m. ET. Indiana enters this game with two previous losses to Washington and New York on back-to-back nights.

Most recently, an 87-74 loss to the Liberty on June 1 put the Fever at 3-9 on the season. Kelsey Mitchell led the Fever in scoring for the ninth time this season with 17 points. Bria Hartley, who missed the last five games with a left hamstring injury, scored 10 points off the bench in her team debut. The Fever started off strong once again, scoring 47 first-half points. In the second half, however, Indiana struggled to score. The Liberty held them to just 27 second-half points — eight in the fourth quarter — and was able to pull away at the end.

Atlanta will enter Sunday coming off a 73-65 loss to Chicago. Rookie guard Rhyne Howard struggled with just five points on 2-of-9 shooting, just her second game this season scoring less than 10 points. Despite the poor shooting performance from Howard, the Dream were able to withstand an opening 26-6 run by the Sky and took its first lead of the game at the 7:45 mark of the fourth quarter. The Sky were able to connect on seven of eight free throws in the last 1:27 to hold on to the lead.
