The Chicago Sky are set to welcome the Atlanta Dream at Wintrust Arena on Thursday, August 7, 2025. This will be the third time both teams will be up against each other in the ongoing season of the WNBA. In their previous two encounters, the Dream registered significant wins over their rivals and are currently leading the tally 2-0. The Sky will aim to turn around the previous defeats and finally open their account against the third-seeded Dream.

Atlanta, as mentioned, is in the third spot of the standings with a total of 18 victories and 11 defeats. It will enter the upcoming game on the back of a three-game winning streak, with the most-recent victory coming against the Washington Mystics. On the other hand, the Sky are in a miserable situation with a total of eight wins and 21 defeats. This record has booked them the 11th spot in the standings. They recently snapped their eight-game losing skid and defeated the Mystics 78-64.

The clash between the Dream and the Sky is mostly likely to be a lopsided event, but one cannot predict anything, and tables can turn around at any moment. With that said, let’s see how the injury reports look like for the Sky and the Dream, and take a guess at their predicted starting lineups.
