Washington at Atlanta

The Washington Mystics had a long, ugly season a year ago where they notched just five wins. Things have certainly looked much better as their next win will match the win total from a year ago. This is a much better shooting team, and the offensive improvements have allowed the Mystic to play in a more open fashion instead of having to slow the game down to stay competitive. This year, the Mystic have averaged 10ppg more than a year ago. The Dream comes in at 8-1, and have looked like the team to beat in the early going. Good teams have tried to up tempo Washington, leading to an 8-1 over mark in their last nine vs. a winning team. The Dream is no exception here, as they have played 5-1 to the over in their last six vs. a losing team. These teams have let it fly in their last 14 meetings with 11 eclipsing the total, including six of the last seven in Atlanta. Play the over.
