Connecticut Sun vs. Atlanta Dream Pick
Spread Pick for Connecticut Sun vs. Atlanta Dream
- Dream -13 (+4 Units)
The Dream have won four in a row and the Sun are coming off a win, which snapped their four-game skid. Atlanta has won their last two games without their leading scorer, who is questionable for this game. Atlanta has taken two of three games against the Sun this season and beat them by 16 points three games back. Not only have the Dream covered in their last two games, they were double-digit favorites in two of them, including the one against the Sun. Regarding the Atlanta Dream vs. Connecticut Sun the Dream are still playing for the #2 seed in the playoffs and even though they may be without their leading scorer they will win big over the Sun just like three games ago.
Over 159.5 (+4 Units)
Over/Under Pick for Connecticut Sun vs. Atlanta Dream
When these teams met three games back the total went Over and that is the pick I am leaning towards in this game. The total has gone Over in three of the last four games for the Dream and in two of the last three games facing the Sun. Atlanta lit it up for 1-4 points in their last game, without their leading scorer, and they torched the Sun for 93 points three games back. Connecticut had three lower-scoring games before 87 points in the last game. Like the recent game between these teams the Dream will score big again and the total will go Over.
