Connecticut Sun Preview

Connecticut continues to lean heavily on veteran Tina Charles, who averages 16.4 points while shooting 43.9% from the floor and nearly 87% at the stripe. The Sun have gone 5-5 over the last ten, but losses have often been in double digits when the offense stalls. Connecticut averages 76.0 points per game on 41.4% shooting, with 31.6 rebounds and 17.6 assists.

The Sun’s best results lately have come when games are high-scoring, highlighted by a 101-95 win at Dallas. Inconsistency in half-court possessions remains a significant issue, particularly against balanced teams that force turnovers. Connecticut will struggle against an Atlanta squad that has become one of the league’s best on defense.

Atlanta Dream Preview

Atlanta has been the more complete team, averaging 84.2 points while limiting opponents to 77.2. The Dream shoot 44.1% from the field, averaging 21.3 assists and 36.6 rebounds per night. Allisha Gray leads the Dream in scoring, averaging 18.6 points, while Rhyne Howard is second, averaging 17.5 points per game and 4.6 assists.

Gray is listed as questionable, but Atlanta has multiple options, with Brionna Jones producing 12.9 points and 7.4 boards and Brittney Griner, who is an excellent shot blocker and has a wingspan that clogs the middle of the paint on defense. The Dream have won convincingly in recent games, including a 93-76 road win at Connecticut earlier this month.

Dream vs Sun Prediction

With stronger depth, better defense, and a strong offense, Atlanta holds the clear edge in this matchup. The Sun will try to slow the tempo and get the ball to Charles as often as possible, but the Dream’s balanced attack will be the difference. Final Score Prediction: Atlanta Dream wins and covers ATS 93-74.
