Atlanta vs Connecticut – WNBA Game Preview, Prediction and Player Props
Spread: Atlanta -13.5 | Total: 161.0
Atlanta Dream Betting Outlook
The Dream (29-14) are closing the season on a tear, now riding a five-game win streak after crushing Connecticut 87-62 in their last outing. Atlanta has been firing on all cylinders and remains firmly entrenched as the No. 2 team in the league behind Minnesota.
First-year head coach Karl Smesko has already made history with his 29th win, the most ever by a rookie WNBA coach. His ability to adapt and push his players to improve has set the tone for Atlanta’s rise.
Rhyne Howard continues to lead the charge. After torching the Sparks for 37 points with a record-tying nine three-pointers, she followed up with 18 points, six assists, and five rebounds against the Sun. She also scored 23 in her last trip to Connecticut, showing her consistency in this matchup.
Dream Prop Pick: Rhyne Howard Over 19.5 Points – She’s locked in offensively, and her perimeter game has been nearly impossible to contain.
Connecticut Sun Betting Outlook
The Sun (11-32) are stumbling toward the finish line, losing four of their last five, including back-to-back defeats against Atlanta. Monday’s collapse was particularly glaring as they were outscored 42-19 in the second half.
Saniya Rivers has been one of the few bright spots, scoring 16 points in the latest loss after posting 10 in their previous meeting with the Dream. Still, outside of Rivers, scoring depth has been inconsistent, and defensive breakdowns have cost them dearly.
Connecticut has shown some fight early in games, but they’ve struggled to sustain energy and defensive discipline, often wearing down against stronger opponents.
Sun Prop Pick: Saniya Rivers Over 12.5 Points – She’s been their most reliable scorer recently and should see volume again with the offense running through her.
WNBA Prediction & Betting Angle
Atlanta is a 13.5-point favorite, with the total set at 161.0. The Dream are playing dominant basketball, while Connecticut is struggling to keep pace on both ends. With Howard in rhythm and the Dream’s defense stifling opponents late, Atlanta looks primed to close out the season strong.
Atlanta covers comfortably, extending their win streak, while Connecticut struggles once again to find enough offensive balance to stay close.
Best Bet: Atlanta -13.5
Toral: Under 161.0
Final Score Prediction: Atlanta 88, Connecticut 71
