The Dallas Wings made a number of substantial changes in the offseason, including hiring new head coach Latricia Trammell, trading for Natasha Howard and Crystal Dangerfield (and Diamond DeShields, though she missed the entire season due to injury) and drafting four players in the first round of the 2023 WNBA Draft. A successful season followed, as they won 20 games for the first time since 2008, when they still played in Detroit, and earned the No. 4 seed. Now, they’ll look for their first playoff series win since 2009.
As for the Atlanta Dream, they are back in the playoffs for the first time since 2018, and looking to win their first series since 2016. The regular season was not quite as successful in the Peach State, however, as the Dream struggled to find any consistency and finished under .500 for a fifth consecutive season. More worryingly for the playoffs, they were 2-13 against the top-four teams, including 0-3 versus the Wings.
