The Atlanta Dream and Washington Mystics meet Tuesday in WNBA action at the Entertainment & Sports Arena. The Atlanta Dream need a win after losing 6 of their last 7 games. The Washington Mystics look for a win after splitting their last 10 games.
The Atlanta Dream are averaging 77.1 points on 41.5 percent shooting and allowing 78.6 points on 40.5 percent shooting. Rhyne Howard is averaging 16.2 points and 4.7 rebounds, while AD Durr is averaging 14.5 points and 2.2 assists. Aari McDonald is the third double-digit scorer and Cheyenne Parker is dishing 1.7 assists. The Atlanta Dream are shooting 35.3 percent from beyond the arc and 77.3 percent from the free throw line. The Atlanta Dream are allowing 33 percent shooting from deep and are grabbing 35.7 rebounds per game.
The Washington Mystics are averaging 79.1 points on 43.2 percent shooting and allowing 76.1 points on 43 percent shooting. Elena Delle Donne is averaging 15.6 points and 6 rebounds, while Ariel Atkins is averaging 15 points and 3.6 rebounds. Natasha Cloud is the third double-digit scorer and Alysha Clark is grabbing 4.7 rebounds. The Washington Mystics are shooting 33.5 percent from beyond the arc and 76.7 percent from the free throw line. The Washington Mystics are allowing 34 percent shooting from deep and are grabbing 35.2 rebounds per game.
The Dream are 9-4-1 ATS in their last 14 Tuesday games and 2-6 ATS in their last 8 vs. Eastern Conference. The Mystics are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 Tuesday games and 1-4 ATS in their last 5 vs. Eastern Conference. The under is 20-9 in Dream last 29 overall. The under is 15-7 in Mystics last 22 overall. The Dream are 0-6-1 ATS in the last 7 meetings in Washington and 5-17-2 ATS in the last 24 meetings.
The Atlanta Dream are in terrible form right now with losses left and right and their offense is becoming a tough watch. The Washington Mystics have already beaten the Dream twice this season, and they're 17-5-2 against the spread in their last 24 meetings against the Dream overall. Thick number, but I have to side with the Mystics at home based on how the Dream are looking right now.
