First place in the Eastern Conference will be on the line tonight when the Atlanta Dream host the red-hot New York Liberty in College Park, Ga.<\/p>\n

Atlanta (8-3, 3-1 Commissioner\u2019s Cup) enters its first matchup of the year with New York atop the conference standings and winners in four of its last five. The Dream own the league\u2019s second-best scoring defense (78.9 points allowed per game) and the second-highest point differential (plus-6.5 ppg).<\/p>\n

Helping Atlanta ascend to the top spot in the East has been newcomer Angel Reese. The offseason acquisition has posted five straight double-doubles and leads the league in rebounds per game (12.2) to go along with 13.6 points per contest. The next step to the third-year star\u2019s evolution is her outside shot.<\/p>\n

In the Dream\u2019s 82-75 win over her former team the Chicago Sky on Tuesday, Reese had 17 points and 17 rebounds, while knocking down her second 3-pointer of the season \u2014 an emphasis on the two-time All-Star\u2019s all-around game.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt makes it easy when you have teammates that really trust and believe in you even when I don\u2019t necessarily want to take the shot and second-guess myself,\u201d Reese said. \u201c(Head coach) Karl (Smesko) gets on me and tells me to take those shots and (teammate) Rhyne (Howard) tells me if I don\u2019t take it, she\u2019s not going to pass it. So it\u2019s tough love, but it\u2019s also the confidence they give me to continue to put a lot of work into it.\u201d<\/p>\n

New York (8-4, 3-0 Commissioner\u2019s Cup), meanwhile, streaks into Georgia with the conference\u2019s longest winning streak. The Liberty\u2019s 89-80 road victory over the Connecticut Sun on Monday extended the streak to five.<\/p>\n

\u201cI love this team. We\u2019re growing together, we\u2019re building together,\u201d first-year New York head coach Chris DeMarco said. \u201cIt seems like every game it\u2019s somebody different. We\u2019ve just found a way to get wins. I\u2019m really proud of this group.\u201d<\/p>\n

New York has gotten off to its impressive start despite the absence of Sabrina Ionescu, who has played in just one game as she deals with a back injury.<\/p>\n

Two-time league MVP and seven-time All-Star Breanna Stewart leads the Liberty with 20.5 ppg.\n<\/p>\n
