Connecticut at Atlanta

Connecticut has its offense going, scoring 77 points in three straight. They come off a 77-76 win over Seattle as a +3 home dog as Alyssa Thomas scored on a tip-in with 0.6 seconds left. Connecticut won the battle of the boards 40-33, including 12-5 on the offensive glass. They face a surprising Atlanta team that is in first place. However, the Dream is .500 at home and coming back to earth a bit, losing the last two games. They come off an 86-79 home loss to Washington as -9 chalk and a 110-78 thumping to powerhouse Minnesota, so the defense is getting chewed up. For the season Atlanta is eighth in the league in points allowed and last in assists. The big dog will keep this close, and the Sun are 14-6 ATS in the last 20 meetings. Play Connecticut.
