Preview: The Lynx are riding a five-game winning streak and will have a four-game homestand after facing Atlanta. The Dream (12-11) has the best record of any team the Lynx have played since the Olympic break.

Lynx at a glance: The three Olympians haven't really gotten a chance to rest since returning from London, but coach Cheryl Reeve says she doesn't plan to take it easy on Lindsay Whalen, Seimone Augustus and Maya Moore because "there's no time." The Lynx locked up a playoff spot Sunday but now are playing for homecourt advantage.

Dream at a glance: The Dream has been without star Angel McCoughtry, who hasn't played the past two games. But five players scored in double figures in Friday's 81-69 victory over Washington, led by Armintie Price's 19 points. Atlanta hasn't faced the Lynx this year but lost to Minnesota five times last year -- including a three-game sweep in the WNBA finals.
