Connecticut at Atlanta

Atlanta has been one of the most complete teams in the East since the offseason additions clicked — Allisha Gray doing damage at better than 21 points a night, Angel Reese dominating the glass at nearly 11 rebounds per game after her move from Chicago, and Jordin Canada running the show at nearly seven assists. The Dream is legitimately built to win a championship. Connecticut enters this one having just snapped a three-game losing streak with an 84-81 win at the Sparks — a result that shows this team can still compete when it is executing — but the talent gap here is real, and Atlanta is at home. The number, though, is where this gets interesting. It is historically large for any WNBA matchup, and a Connecticut squad anchored by Brittney Griner in her 13th season has the experience to slow Atlanta down and make this a half-court grind when the situation demands it. Big road underdogs that can establish that kind of game rarely get beaten by the margin the market is implying. Connecticut covers the spread, and the moneyline is live at the right price. Take the Sun ATS and on the moneyline.
