The Atlanta Dream are currently enjoying a strong run of form, riding a four-game winning streak heading into this matchup. Their offense has been particularly impressive, averaging over 89.5 points per game, which has made them one of the most dominant scoring teams in the WNBA this season.

The Connecticut Sun, while trailing in the standings, have proven resilient and competitive against top-tier opponents. Their ability to keep games close, even against high-scoring teams, makes the handicap of +15.50 in ordinary time an attractive bet. Bettors can expect the Sun to fight hard and prevent the Dream from running away with the game by a large margin.

Key Players to Watch:

• Atlanta Dream:

  • Rhyne Howard: Leading scorer and primary offensive weapon.

  • Chennedy Carter: Dynamic guard capable of explosive scoring runs.

• Connecticut Sun:

  • Jonquel Jones: Dominant in the paint and a key defensive presence.

  • DiJonai Carrington: Provides perimeter scoring and playmaking.

Despite the Dream’s strong form and high-scoring capabilities, the Connecticut Sun’s experience and defensive strategies could help them limit the margin of defeat. This makes the +15.50 handicap appealing for bettors looking for value. The game is likely to be competitive, especially in the first half, with potential swings in momentum favoring both sides.

Betting Tip:

Consider combining the handicap with a points total bet, as the Dream’s scoring streak suggests the game may exceed 175 points combined.
