ATLANTA (Interstat) — The Atlanta Dream, boasting the WNBA’s best record at 11-4, will host the Toronto Tempo (8-8) on Monday at State Farm Arena in a key Eastern Conference matchup with significant playoff implications. Atlanta enters the contest riding a two-game winning streak, most recently dismantling the Indiana Fever 113-96 on Saturday. The Dream’s victory was powered by a balanced attack from their trio of guards. Jordin Canada recorded a near triple-double with 12 points, seven rebounds and 12 assists. Rhyne Howard added 24 points and Allisha Gray contributed 22. The Dream will look to exploit a tempo advantage against a Toronto team that has struggled defensively, surrendering an average of 102 points in its last three losses. The two teams met just over a week ago on June 14 in Toronto, where Atlanta cruised to a 102-77 victory. Canada orchestrated the offense efficiently in that game, tallying five points, five rebounds and nine assists. Toronto, however, arrives in Atlanta with momentum after a 101-97 victory at Connecticut on Friday. Guard Marina Mabrey erupted for 37 points, four rebounds and four assists in 33 minutes, anchoring a resilient performance for a team that has alternated wins and losses over its past six games. Mabrey’s scoring has been central to Toronto’s offensive identity this season. In her last five games, she has averaged 22.4 points. But her efficiency has been inconsistent; she scored only nine points on 3-of-11 shooting in the June 14 loss to Atlanta. For the Dream, Canada’s playmaking has been pivotal during their strong start. Over her past four contests, she has averaged 11.8 points and 8.3 assists, providing a reliable floor general for a team that leads the league in scoring. The Interstat game simulator projects a 95-82 victory for Atlanta. Tipoff is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. EDT. The game marks the second of three scheduled meetings between the teams this season. They will meet again July 17 in Toronto. The Dream will begin a three-game road trip Wednesday at Golden State, while the Tempo return home Thursday to face Los Angeles.
