Premium Pick

Atlanta has a winning record the last 11 games, winning twice as a dog. They come off a 91-87 win against Phoenix as a +4 dog and rank second in the WNBA in rebounding. The Atlanta Dream ended the Los Angeles Sparks' quest to record the best start to a WNBA season the last time the two teams met in a 91-74 rout on July 17. The Dream sit in fifth place in the league standings, but only three games separate the teams in the fourth through eighth slots. Atlanta is 13-5 ATS against the Western Conference, and 16-5 ATS playing on one day of rest. Los Angeles had a big showdown with Minnesota for first place and laid an egg at home, losing 77-74, a tough defeat. They rank #10 in the WNBA in rebounding, losing the battle of the boards to the Lynx by seven. The Sparks have fallen off the pace, losing five of nine. Los Angeles is just 3-3 SU/1-5 ATS since the break, plus on a 6-14 spread run. The Sparks are on an 18-42-1 ATS run at home, 5-16-1 ATS playing on one day of rest. And Atlanta is 14-3 ATS in the last 17 meetings. Play Atlanta.
