Seattle at Atlanta

This is a long road trip for Seattle. They are a young, rebuilding team with a poor road record. Seattle is short on depth and experience, last in the league in rebounding, and ninth in points. They've lost six of nine and head out on the road after a four-game homestand, losing the last game 83-78. That game was a pick 'em, part of a 3-8 ATS run. Seattle shot just 42% at home to Dallas and got outrebounded 38-28. The Storm are 4-9 ATS against the Eastern Conference, plus 7-20 ATS playing on three or more days of rest. That rebounding disadvantage will be a concern against an Atlanta squad that is second in the WNBA in rebounding. Atlanta is riding a five-game skid, but has played well, losing four times on the road. One was in double OT, and they lost two others by four and three points. Atlanta has excellent balance and frontcourt play, with forward Angel McCoughtry (19.6 points per game), Center Elizabeth Williams (13.1 points per game, 7.4 rebounds per game), and guard Tiffany Hayes (16.1 points per game). Hayes missed last week's loss at Seattle because of a hamstring injury, but returned with 32 points in Thursday's loss at top-ranked Los Angeles. The Dream are 10-3 ATS playing on one day of rest, plus 8-3 ATS against the Western Conference. They match up well as Seattle is 3-8 ATS against the Dream, including an 0-5 ATS run at Atlanta. Play Atlanta.
