Both teams are coming off opening-day wins, with the Dream escaping the Minnesota Lynx by the skin of their teeth, 91-90, and the Wings escaping the Indiana Fever in a tight contest, 107-104.
Reese impressed in her debut for Atlanta , tallying 11 points, 14 rebounds, two assists, two steals, and three blocks.
She did not skip a beat against the Wings, recording a double-double before the fourth quarter.
With her tenacity and fiestiness, the 24-year-old Reese could easily get a double-double on a nightly basis. In his first two seasons, she averaged 14.1 points and 12.8 rebounds.
She will now bring that level to the Dream, who have been booted out in the first round of the playoffs for three straight years.

After a testy stint on the Chicago Sky , which she accused of lacking a winning vision, Reese is eager to have a fresh start with the Dream, as she said in a statement .
"I'm beyond grateful for the opportunity to join the Atlanta Dream organization. I'm focused on continuing to grow my game, competing at the highest level, connecting with the fans, and giving everything I've got," said the two-time All-Star.
Atlanta had a historic campaign last year, collecting a team-record 30 wins.
Coach Karl Smesko is bullish on having Reese on the roster.
"Her energy, toughness, and instincts will thrive in our system, and we're excited to integrate her into the style of play we are constructing here in Atlanta," said Smesko.
