Williams has been Golden State's steadiest scorer in the series, averaging 20 points through two games. She had 14 in Game 2, matched by Tiffany Hayes. Hayes is back in Atlanta, where she started her career and reached the 2013 Finals with the Dream.
The two teams were close all year. Golden State finished 32-12 and Atlanta 30-14, and the Valkyries won all three regular-season meetings. Atlanta went 15-7 at home. The Dream are 3.5-point favorites at DraftKings, according to ESPN's odds feed.
Neither side has a new injury to manage. Atlanta's Brionna Jones is out for the season with a leg injury, and Golden State's Iliana Rupert is out for the season for a non-injury reason.
After Game 2, ESPN reported that Valkyries players were frustrated with their ball security. Cleaner possessions and a better answer for Reese are the two things Golden State needs to take a 2-1 lead.
