Prediction: Atlanta Dream VS Connecticut Sun 2025-06-06

The Atlanta Dream, riding a four-game winning streak, are set to take on the struggling Connecticut Sun, who have managed only one win in seven games. The Dream's offense, led by Rhyne Howard and Allisha Gray, has been on fire, with Gray averaging over 21 points per game. Meanwhile, the Sun will rely on star center Tina Charles to bounce back from a lackluster performance against the New York Liberty.

Given the Dream's strong record against the spread, ranking fourth in net rating and second in offensive rating, it's hard to see the Sun keeping up. The Sun, on the other hand, have the worst offensive rating, defensive rating, and net rating in the WNBA. Not exactly a recipe for success.

My best bet for this matchup is the Atlanta Dream to cover the spread (-10.5). With the Dream's high-powered offense and the Sun's struggles on both ends of the court, I expect Atlanta to win comfortably. The Dream have already beaten the Sun by 24 points earlier this season, and I don't see things getting much better for Connecticut.

As for player props, I like Rhyne Howard to go over 24.5 points, given her recent form and the Sun's porous defense. Tina Charles, on the other hand, could be motivated to bounce back and score over 15 points against Atlanta.

But let's be real, the Sun's chances of covering the spread are about as likely as me giving up my day job to become a professional basketball player (not happening). So, take the Dream to cover, and let's ride this hot streak all the way to the bank.

Best Bet: Atlanta Dream -10.5 (-110)
