The Seattle Storm look to keep the ball rolling while building on their five-game winning streak.

The Dream are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 Wednesday games, 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games as an underdog and 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games overall. The Storm are 9-2 ATS in their last 11 games as a favorite and 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games overall. The under is 7-3-1 in Dream last 11 overall. The over is 5-2 in Storm last 7 vs. Eastern Conference. The Dream are 5-1 ATS in the last 6 meetings in Seattle and 8-3 ATS in the last 11 meetings.
The Seattle Storm are the hottest team in the league right now and have been covering machines dating back to the end of last season. The Atlanta Dream are losing games left and right and haven’t been great defensively, but they’ve also been competitive in some of these losses, which includes a one point loss to the Storm last week. A Storm blowout victory wouldn’t be surprising, but I’m leaning toward the points here.
