(615) Washington Mystics at (616) Atlanta Dream
The Mystics have been a strong first-half team this season, going 25-9-2 ATS, including an impressive 13-3-1 as road underdogs. On the flip side, the Dream have struggled in the first half as home favorites, posting just a 1-4 ATS record in those situations. In those five games, their opponents are 4-0-1 to their first-half team total over, highlighting the Dream's early-game vulnerabilities.
Defensively, the Mystics have been one of the better teams in the league since the Olympic break. During this stretch, Mystics' opponents are 9-2 to their team total under. When the Mystics have been road underdogs since the break, they've held their opponents to their team total under in all four games.
Given these trends and the defensive prowess of the Mystics, I’m taking the Mystics 1H +2 and the Dream team total under.
