San Antonio at Atlanta

Premium Pick

San Antonio (3-6) has the offense clicking, scoring 86, 78, and 77 points the last three games, but the defense has been soft. They allow 80 ppg. That uptempo attack helped them pull an upset at New York two games ago, winning as a +6.5 dog, and narrowly missing a cover the last game by a half-point in a loss to Phoenix. The Silver Stars are 17-8-1 ATS in their last 26 road games and 10-2 ATS in Sunday get-away-day games. San Antonio is 4-1 ATS against the Eastern Conference and a good bounce back team, 5-2 ATS following a spread loss.  They catch a break facing a powerhouse Atlanta team (9-1) that will be playing its third game in five days, and one that is not at full strength: Second-leading scorer Sancho Lyttle is in Europe playing for Spain's national team. She will return for a game at Minnesota on July 9. The Silver Stars are 5-0 ATS in the last five meetings with Atlanta, and 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings in Atlanta.
In addition, this will be a high scoring game. San Antonio loves to run, and the over is 16-7 in the Silver Stars last 23 road games, plus 19-9 over the total on Sunday get-away-day games. Atlanta likes to run, as well, fifth in the WNBA in points scored, third in assists. The OVER is 6-2 in the Dream's last eight Sunday games as well as 7-3 OVER the total following a spread cover win. Two Plays: 1) Play the San Antonio Silver Stars;  2) Play  San Antonio/Atlanta OVER the Total.
