Atlanta Dream vs Washington Mystics Total Over/Under Prediction- WNBA Best Bets

The Mystics are among the bottom offensive teams. They have scored 72 or fewer points in three of the last four games. On the other hand, the Dream is a much better scoring team. Atlanta has put up 88 or more in four of the last five games.

Defensively, both teams are pretty tight, limiting opponents to around 80 on many occasions. Overall, Mystics games can be low-scoring, but I see the high-scoring Atlanta setting the tone. The last game between the two produced 183 points.

Total: Over 157.5 for -110 at BetMGM

Atlanta Dream vs Washington Mystics Player Props Predictions- WNBA Betting Picks

Shakira Austin O 14.5 Points: Austin has been a bright spot in the disjointed Mystics offense. However, she has scored 14 or fewer in three of the last four games. I see a bonce-back game from her.

Allisha Gray O 19.5 Points: Gray is enjoying a solid season, scoring 18.6 PPG. She had 26 in the last game after scoring 15 or under in three straight games. I see her building on her previous strong performance.

Kiki Iriafen O 8.5 Rebounds: The Mystics rookie has already become one of the best rebounders. She is averaging 8.4 RPG, and I expect her to pin down at least 9 boards here.

Main pick: Allisha Gray O 18.5 points for -115 at BetMGM

Atlanta Dream vs Washington Mystics Spread Prediction

The Dream is rediscovering its early-season mojo, which enabled a 9-4 start. The team is overcoming injuries terrifically and needs to keep grinding on both ends. Meanwhile, Washington needs to be better scoring-wise, or their playoff hopes can take a big hit.

The Mystics are also sub-par on the road, so this game will be a huge challenge. I’d expect the Dream to cover the spread considering these circumstances.

Spread/Money Line Pick: Spread: Dream -6.5 for -105 at BetMGM
