The Connecticut Sun were the worst team in the WNBA a year ago, as they posted just 10 wins on the season. They started this season at 1-5, but had a strong run of six straight wins, leaving this team appearing to be better than they are. The Sun have quickly fallen in four of their last five, so outside the six game winning streak this team is 13-34 since the beginning of last season. Atlanta has proven to be the class of the East at 12-5 on the season, and are 8-2 at home with five of the last seven wins coming by 10 points or more. The Dream loves to get up and down the court, especially at home where they have averaged just shy of 86 points per game in their last seven home tilts. The Sun have done little to slow down good teams as their last seven against a team with a winning record, and have seen five top the total. The Dream owns a 7-1 ATS record at home in their last eight in Atlanta and are a perfect 4-0 ATS on a pair of days rest. The Dream have played six of their last eight at home to the OVER, and the last eight in this series have also played to a 6-2 mark to the OVER. The Dream are rested and ready to run, and the Sun have not had success with slowing down good teams. Play on Atlanta and take the OVER in this one.
