The Connecticut Sun are allowing 32.9 percent shooting from deep and are grabbing 36.2 rebounds per game.
The Atlanta Dream are averaging 77.6 points on 41.6 percent shooting and allowing 79.9 points on 41.7 percent shooting. Rhyne Howard is averaging 14.7 points and 4.4 rebounds, while Tiffany Hayes is averaging 13.3 points and 1.8 assists.

The Sun are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 road games and 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games overall. The Dream are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 Friday games and 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games overall. The under is 6-2 in Sun last 8 overall. The over is 4-1 in Dream last 5 overall. The Sun are 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings.
The Connecticut Sun continue to play inconsistent ball, and they're not covering numbers right now. With that said, the Sun are still one of the more talented teams in the league, and they've beaten up on the Dream a couple of times this season. The Atlanta Dream cant score the basketball, and it's led to a lot of frustrating losses. The lack of scoring is also now impacting the Dream on the defensive side, as they've allowed 80-plus points in 5 of their last 7 games. Thick line for a road team, but it's Sun or pass for me.
