New York vs Atlanta – WNBA Game Preview, Prediction and Player Props
Spread: Atlanta -4.5 | Total: 162.0
Atlanta Dream Betting Outlook
The Dream enter as 4.5-point favorites with the total at 162.0, riding one of the league’s hottest streaks. Atlanta has won eight of its last ten and currently holds a one-game lead over New York in the Eastern Conference race.
Thursday’s 75-73 win over the Minnesota Lynx may have been their most impressive yet, as Allisha Gray poured in 27 points and Karl Smesko’s defense clamped down when it mattered most. Atlanta ranks second in the WNBA in points allowed (77.4 per game), a major reason for their rise from perennial cellar-dweller to serious contender.
Dream Prop Pick: Allisha Gray Over 17.5 Points — Atlanta’s leading scorer thrives in big games and showed against Minnesota she’s the one to trust offensively.
New York Liberty Betting Outlook
The Liberty stumble into Atlanta after losing four of their last six, capped by an ugly 91-85 home defeat to the Chicago Sky. Despite leading through three quarters, New York collapsed late, going the final six minutes without a field goal.
Sabrina Ionescu continues to pace the offense at 19 points per game, but without Breanna Stewart (out with a knee bone bruise), the team has lacked consistency on both ends of the court. Coach Sandy Brondello voiced her frustration, noting how her squad oscillates between championship-level play and head-scratching lapses.
Liberty Prop Pick: Sabrina Ionescu Over 1.5 Made Threes — her volume from deep will be critical if New York hopes to steal one on the road.
WNBA Prediction & Betting Angle
Atlanta is playing its best basketball at the right time, while New York has been plagued by inconsistency without Stewart. With Gray leading the charge and defense dictating tempo, the Dream have the upper hand at home.
Best Bet: Atlanta -4.5
Toral: Under 162.0
Final Score Prediction: Atlanta 83, New York 76
