Lynx vs. Dream Preview
The Minnesota Lynx put their impressive eight-game road winning streak on the line this Sunday as they travel to College Park, Georgia, to square off against the Atlanta Dream.
Minnesota enters the matchup sitting at 31-8 overall with a stellar 17-2 record on the road, while Atlanta looks to protect home court, where they have posted a 12-7 record as part of their 25-14 overall campaign.
Both squads rank near the top of the league in ball movement. Minnesota sits second in the WNBA averaging 21.8 assists per game, spearheaded by rookie guard Olivia Miles dishing out 6.1 per contest. Atlanta is right behind them, ranking second in the Eastern Conference with 21.1 assists per night, led by Jordin Canada's 7.3 per game.
The key to this game could come down to pace and perimeter efficiency. Atlanta’s high-powered offense produces 90.8 points per game, which will test a Minnesota defense allowing 83.3.
Conversely, the Lynx dial it up from deep, averaging 9.3 made three-pointers per game, giving them a slight edge against an Atlanta defense that allows 8.5 triples per contest.
This marks the third head-to-head meeting of the season between the two teams, with Minnesota claiming a 96-81 victory in their previous clash on May 28.
On the injury front, Atlanta will be without center Brionna Jones due to a leg injury, while Minnesota guard Courtney Williams is listed as probable with a leg issue.
Lynx vs. Dream Prediction
Angel Reese Over 15.5 Points stands out as a strong play for this matchup. Reese has been a dominant force for Atlanta this season, posting averages of 16.1 points, 12.5 rebounds, and 1.8 steals per game.
Action PRO projects Reese for 18.20 points against the Lynx defense. With that projection offering a solid 21,2% edge against the current line of 15.5, backing Reese to go over her point total is the recommended bet.
The forward has cleared this 15+ point threshold in four of her last five outings, a stretch highlighted by a massive 31-point performance against Phoenix on August 22.
Even in a tough 101-83 loss to the Portland Fire where she struggled from the field (shooting 5-of-14), Reese still managed to grind out 16 points, proving her high floor.
Best Bet: Angel Reese Over 15.5 Points (-104)
