Dream Dominated Last Game

The Dream haven’t played all that well this season but they sure looked good in the last game. The Dream scored 80 points against the Los Angeles Sparks and that was enough for the 18 point victory. At the end of the first quarter they were up 25-12 and the ynever looked back on the way to the victory. Center Tina Charles had a strong game putting up 23 points 10 rebounds, and two assists. The Dream are averaging 76.1 points while their defense is giving up 79.9 points per game. The offense is ranked 12th in the league while the pitching is ranked 12th. Allisha Gray has been the top player for the Dream averaging 15.9 points while shooting 41.4 percent from the field and 35.4 percent from behind the three point line. 

Mercury Looked Awful in Last Game

The Mercury sure looked awful in the last game against the Las Vegas Aces. The Mercury scored 79 points but the defense gave up 97 points and that led to the defeat. At the end of the first quarter they were down 29-10 and they couldn’t bounce back. Center Brittney Griner had a huge game putting up 24 points, five rebounds, and two assists. The Mercury are averaging 82.5 points while their defense is giving up 84.8 points per game. The offense is ranked 7th in the league while the defense is ranked 9th. Kahleah Copper is averaging 22.1 points while shooting 44.3 percent from the field. 

Atlanta Dream vs Phoenix Mercury Prediction

The Mercury defense looked awful in the last game and I expect it’s going ot be much of the same here. The Dream’s defense doen’st have nayone to slowdown Griner though, and that is going to be the difference here. The Dream and Mercury are both going to have no issue running up the score and this game is going to end up being a shootout. Back the over to cash here with ease.
