This is the second straight road game to open the season for Atlanta. The Dream, ranked eighth in the WNBA power poll, are without four-time WNBA All-Star Angel McCoughtry who announced in January that she has decided to take some time off. They only shot 38.8% in the opener, a win over Connecticut, and scored just 30 second half points. That game sailed UNDER the total and now they head to Chicago for another road contest. This is the home opener for Chicago after making the WNBA semifinals in 2016. Chicago got the cover in the opener, a close loss at powerhouse Minnesota, 70-61. They outrebounded Minnesota and played strong defense allowing 37% shooting, holding the Lynx to just 3-of-20 from long range. Look for another strong defensive effort and back the home team that went 11-6 SU here last season. Play Chicago and the UNDER.
