Atlanta Returning Home After Tough Loss
Atlanta enters Friday night with a 2-1 overall record and an 0-1 home record this season. The Dream recently lost to Las Vegas 85-84 after previously recently won over Dallas 77-72 and Minnesota 91-90. Before those victories, Atlanta recently lost to Washington 83-72. Despite the narrow defeat against Las Vegas, the Dream have still won two of their last three games entering this matchup against Dallas.
The Dream are averaging 84.0 points per game while allowing 82.3 points per contest. Atlanta is shooting 39 percent from the field while averaging 45.0 rebounds and 16.7 assists per game. Defensively, the Dream are producing 4.7 blocks and 7.7 steals per contest, helping offset some of the offensive inconsistency during the early part of the season.
One area where Atlanta stands out is rebounding. The Dream are averaging significantly more rebounds than Dallas and have shown the ability to stay competitive in close games because of that physical presence around the basket. Atlanta has also held opponents below 90 points in all three games this season, reflecting solid defensive consistency.
Dallas Wings vs Atlanta Dream Picks and Prediction
Dallas Wings vs Atlanta Dream Pick
- Pick: Dallas Wings +6.5
Dallas has consistently produced offense at a high level this season and enters this matchup averaging more than 91 points per game. The Wings have already defeated both Chicago and Washington convincingly while also pushing Indiana into a high-scoring game earlier this month. Although Atlanta already defeated Dallas once this season, the Dream have played three straight close games, including the one-point loss against Las Vegas. With Dallas holding the edge offensively and receiving 6.5 points, the Wings look capable of keeping this matchup competitive throughout.
Dallas Wings vs Atlanta Dream Total Pick
- Pick: Over 172.5
I believe this game has a strong chance to finish above the total because Dallas continues to play at a fast offensive pace. The Wings have scored 99, 92, 86, and 107 points in four of their five games this season, and Atlanta has also been involved in several competitive games recently. Dallas brings the stronger offensive numbers overall, while Atlanta’s rebounding advantage should create additional scoring opportunities on the offensive end. With both teams capable of putting points on the board, the over looks appealing here.
Final Score Prediction: Atlanta Dream 90 – Dallas Wings 87
