The Atlanta Dream and Indiana Fever face off on Sunday in a WNBA showdown at The Gateway Center @ College Park. When these two teams faced off on May 17th it was the Dream that won 101-79.
The Dream come into this game with a 6-4 record overall, but they are coming off a loss in their last game. The offense could only manage 63 points against the Chicago Sky, and that led to the defeat. The Dream had won two games in a row before the last loss, and three games ago against the Phoenix Mercury they only gave up 54 points. The Dream is averaging 75.5 points, while their defense is giving up 73.9 points per game. The offense is ranked 11th, but their defense is ranked 2nd. Rhyne Howard has been the top player for the Dream, averaging 16.2 points while shooting 39.4 percent from the field.
On the other side of this matchup is the Indiana Fever, who sit with a 3-9 record overall, and they looked terrible again in the last game against the New York Liberty. The Fever only scored eight points in the 4th quarter and that led to the 87-74 defeat. The Fever are averaging 81.2 points, while their defense is giving up 89.2 points per game. The offense has actually been pretty strong this season, ranked 4th in the league, but their defense has been a big issue and needs to be better in this game. The star of this team is Kelsey Mitchell, and he is averaging 19.4 points while shooting 44.3 percent from the field and 41.8 percent from behind the three-point line.
The Fever’s defense has been awful, giving up 89.2 points per game and the last time these two teams played, Atlanta scored 101 points. Atlanta is going to have no issue running up the score and this game is going to get out of hand early. Back the Dream against the spread.
