Storm vs. Dream Preview
Seattle Storm Betting Preview
The Storm find themselves as heavy double-digit underdogs on the road, but their recent performances indicate a team finding its footing.
After suffering through a brutal 11-game losing skid earlier in the season, Seattle has quietly turned things around, winning three of their last five games. Their most recent outing came on Monday, where they put together a dominant wire-to-wire performance to rout the Los Angeles Sparks 82-64.
A major driver of Seattle's recent resurgence has been the play of Flau'jae Johnson.
Aside from a forgettable road performance against Portland, Johnson has been a human torch on offense, exploding for 23 or more points in three of her last five appearances.
Her ability to create off the dribble and get to the rim gives Seattle an explosive scoring punch capable of keeping them within striking distance.
Atlanta Dream Betting Preview
On paper, the Dream are rightfully favored. Holding the seventh-best record in the WNBA, they possess the talent and frontcourt depth of a legitimate playoff contender.
However, the Dream enter this contest mired in a slump of their own, having lost five consecutive games—including a heartbreaking 88-83 defeat to the Golden State Valkyries on Saturday.
Atlanta’s offensive engine continues to run through their dynamic duo of Allisha Gray and Rhyne Howard, who both average over 18.5 points per game. But their recent shooting efficiency tells two completely different stories.
Gray has endured a cold stretch from the field, hitting just 34% of her field goal attempts over her last six outings. However, Howard has been trending upward, knocking down 40% of her shots over her last five games to carry the scoring load.
While Atlanta has the higher ceiling, Gray's shooting slump and the team's ongoing five-game skid make a double-digit spread a risky proposition for home favorites.
Storm vs. Dream Prediction
While Atlanta certainly holds the overall talent edge, asking a team currently on a five-game losing streak to cover a massive 10.5-point spread is asking a lot. Gray's recent shooting woes have slowed Atlanta's offensive rhythm, allowing opponents to stay within striking distance.
On the flip side, Seattle is playing with renewed confidence behind Johnson's scoring tears. Backed by our Big Dog, No Extremes system, the Storm have more than enough fire to keep this game within single digits or cover late in the fourth quarter.
Best Bet: Seattle Storm +10.5 (-108, FanDuel)
