Heavyweights Meet in Atlanta
Minnesota and Atlanta collide Sunday afternoon in a matchup featuring two of the WNBA’s top five teams, so yes, this one actually deserves your attention before football completely hijacks the remote.
The Lynx enter 31-8 and are favored by 2.5 with the total at a lofty 177.0. Minnesota has been ridiculous on the road, winning eight straight away from home while posting a 17-2 road record.
The season series is split. Atlanta stole the opener 91-90, while Minnesota answered with a convincing 96-81 victory on May 27.
Miles Looks for a Rebound
Olivia Miles has been sensational for Minnesota, averaging 19.7 points and 6.1 assists while putting herself firmly in the Rookie of the Year conversation.
Her last outing? Straight into the shredder.
Miles scored only eight points with four turnovers as Minnesota’s six-game winning streak ended in an 80-66 loss to Golden State. Cheryl Reeve viewed it as a valuable learning experience. Bettors would probably prefer learning experiences that still cover the spread.
Atlanta Has Plenty of Firepower
The Dream are 25-14 and 7-3 over their last 10 despite Friday’s 101-83 loss to Portland.
Rhyne Howard dropped 26 points in that defeat and averages 18.4 per game.
Angel Reese continues collecting rebounds like they’re unpaid invoices, averaging 16.1 points and 12.5 boards. She finished with 16 points and 16 rebounds Friday, recording her 28th double-double of the season to tie the single-season record.
LVSB Betting Prediction
Atlanta has enough offense to make this uncomfortable, but Minnesota’s 17-2 road record is impossible to ignore.
We expect Miles to bounce back and the Lynx to execute better late.
LVSB Score Prediction
Minnesota Lynx 92, Atlanta Dream 88
Pick: Minnesota Lynx -2.5
