Preview: The Lynx (19-4), winners of four in a row, have not lost to Atlanta in more than two years and own a 12-6 all-time advantage over the Dream. Atlanta is just one game over .500 at 12-11, but their latest victory was an impressive one, a 91-74 rout of Los Angeles on Sunday in Atlanta. The victory kept L.A. from winning 21 of its first 22 games to tie Houston for the fastest start in league history. … The noon start is mandated by the WNBA, which requires each team to have at least one afternoon game per season. It's part of WNBA "Camp Day" when teams cater to kids attending summer camps around their area.

Players to watch: F Rebekkah Brunson needs eight offensive rebounds to become first in that category in league history. She has 1,055. … C Sylvia Fowles is coming off her fifth double-double of the season – 14 points, 19 rebounds – in Sunday's 98-97 OT victory at Dallas. … G Renee Montgomery scored 11 points Sunday, her first game in double figures since June 29. … Atlanta rookie F Bria Holmes made her second start of the season and tied a career-high with 15 points against Los Angeles.

Numbers: The Lynx set a franchise record Sunday with 58 points in the paint and tied a team record with six players in double figures

Injuries: Atlanta will be without leading rebounder Sancho Lyttle, who will miss the remainder of the season because of a broken foot.
