Chicago hasn't been playing much defense at eighth in the WNBA while allowing 83.5 points per game. They come off a 97-80 home loss to Minnesota and now head out on the road for the first time. The Sky are 3-7-1 ATS following a straight up loss. Atlanta is third in the league in rebounding and playing good defense. This is the home opener for the Dream, on a 9-2 spread run going back to last season. Angel McCoughtry has scored 15 in each of the first two games, including a 73-63 overtime win against San Antonio on May 14. She's averaged 24.8 points the last four games against Chicago, including 33 points and 11 rebounds in the final matchup in 2015. Atlanta is 13-3 ATS following a straight up loss, as well as 8-1 ATS at home. This is a great situational spot for the home dog to win the game. Play Atlanta on the moneyline.
