Atlanta vs Seattle – WNBA Game Preview, Prediction and Player Props
Spread: Seattle -2.5 | Total: 161.0
Atlanta Dream Betting Breakdown
The Dream are riding their hottest stretch of the season, entering Wednesday on a five-game winning streak and tied with New York atop the Eastern Conference. At 20-11, they’ve already surpassed last year’s win total by five games under first-year head coach Karl Smesko.
Atlanta’s latest win came in Phoenix, where they closed the game on an 11-4 run to seal a 74-66 victory and complete a season sweep of the Mercury. Allisha Gray has been electric during the streak, averaging 21 points per game, while Rhyne Howard made her return from a month-long knee injury absence, though her comeback was cut short by an ejection after an 0-for-7 shooting night.
The challenge for Atlanta will be keeping the momentum going on a grueling six-game road swing against quality opponents. Still, with Gray’s scoring and a healthy Howard, this team has the firepower to test Seattle despite being an underdog.
Dream Player Prop Pick: Allisha Gray Over 16.5 Points — Gray’s current scoring form and Atlanta’s reliance on her offensive production make this a high-probability play, even on the road.
Seattle Storm Betting Breakdown
Seattle’s in a slump, having dropped five straight, their longest skid since last year’s 10-game slide. The frustrating part? Every loss this month has been decided by four points or fewer, including Sunday’s 94-91 heartbreaker against Los Angeles. Brittney Sykes, newly acquired from Washington, poured in 27 points and tied the game with 12 seconds left before the Sparks closed it out at the line.
Sykes has been a bright spot since joining the Storm, averaging 20.5 points in two games. Pairing her with Nneka Ogwumike (17.9 ppg) and Skylar Diggins (16.1 ppg) gives Seattle one of the league’s most potent scoring trios, but defense in crunch time has been the Achilles’ heel.
At 16-16, Seattle is desperate to snap the skid and protect home court, and Bovada oddsmakers have them favored by 2.5 here. Their ability to limit Atlanta’s transition game will be key to covering that number.
Storm Player Prop Pick: Brittney Sykes Over 17.5 Points — Her aggressiveness and shot volume since arriving in Seattle make this a strong play, especially with Atlanta’s defense vulnerable on the perimeter.
Prediction
Atlanta has momentum, but Seattle’s home-court edge, desperation to end the losing streak, and new-look offensive firepower tip the scales in their favor. Expect a close, competitive matchup with both teams leaning heavily on their stars.
Best Bet: Seattle -2.5
Toral: Over 161.0
