Connecticut vs Atlanta – WNBA Game Preview, Prediction and Player Props
Spread: Atlanta -13.0 | Total: 160.0
Atlanta Dream Betting Outlook
The Atlanta Dream (28-14) are wrapping up their finest regular season ever. First-year head coach Karl Smesko has transformed this roster into a juggernaut, smashing their previous win total and securing a franchise record in victories.
The Dream lit up the Sparks last time out, dropping 104 points while tying the WNBA record with 19 threes. Rhyne Howard was simply unstoppable, exploding for 37 points and tying a league mark with nine treys. With four straight wins and 13 of their last 16, Atlanta enters this one locked in and peaking at the right time.
Prop to Watch: Rhyne Howard Over 2.5 Made Threes – After her historic performance, she remains Atlanta’s most dangerous perimeter weapon.
Prediction Angle: Atlanta’s firepower and form suggest they can dictate the pace. If they start hot again, the cover looks very realistic.
Connecticut Sun Betting Outlook
At 11-31, the Connecticut Sun are finishing a rough season but showed some fight by upsetting Phoenix 87-84 on Saturday. After starting 6-27, they’ve managed to win five of their last nine and look far more competitive post-All-Star break.
Head coach Rachid Meziane credits improved chemistry and accountability. Tina Charles, who once wore Dream colors, continues to be their anchor with 16.6 points per game, while Marina Mabrey chips in 14.4. Even in a rebuilding year, Connecticut can scrap enough to give playoff teams some headaches.
Prop to Watch: Tina Charles Over 15.5 Points – Facing her former team, she’s the best chance for Connecticut to keep it close.
Prediction Angle: The Sun are improved but still outmatched. They’ll need a near-perfect night to stay within striking distance.
WNBA Prediction & Betting Angle
This matchup features one team primed for a title run and another simply trying to play spoiler. Atlanta’s shooting depth and momentum make them the side to back, while Connecticut’s only real path is to slow the tempo.

Toral: Over 10.0
Final Score Prediction: Atlanta 89, Connecticut 74
