On Sunday 27 September 2026, Atlanta Dream play Washington Mystics in the WNBA. Our model likes 6 bets here. The one it likes most is Over 163.5 Total Points, priced at -110 when we wrote this. Here is the thinking behind each pick, in plain English.
Over 163.5 Total Points (-110)
Odds available at DraftKings at time of publishing
The Atlanta Dream have been on fire lately, winning 8 of their last 10 games and averaging almost 96 points a game in their last 20. They've shown they can score big, especially at home. The Washington Mystics are also in great form, winning 8 of their last 10 and putting up around 84 points a game. With both teams in such good scoring shape, it's likely we'll see plenty of points. Betting on the total points to go over 163.5 seems smart since our numbers suggest a combined total around 167.2. The only real risk is that both teams might have a slower game, but given their recent scoring, that seems unlikely. Let's hope for an exciting shootout! It was priced at -110 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $19.10 if it lands. The bookmakers have this as a slight favourite. Our model leans this way without loving it. Prices move, so check the price at your bookmaker before you back it. And if this one does not feel right to you, skipping it is a perfectly good move.
Atlanta Dream to Win (-250)
Odds available at FanDuel at time of publishing
For the Atlanta Dream to win tonight, they need to keep up their strong scoring and solid teamwork. They've been on a roll lately, winning 8 of their last 10 games and scoring an impressive average of nearly 96 points in their last 20 outings. This kind of form makes them tough to beat, especially at home. The Washington Mystics have also been performing well, winning 8 of their last 10, but they haven't matched the Dream's scoring lately. Plus, the Dream have the advantage of playing at home, which can make a big difference. The Mystics will be traveling a bit farther too, which could tire them out. While this matchup is close, the Dream's recent success gives them a solid shot at winning tonight. It was priced at -250 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $14 if it lands. The bookmakers have this as a clear favourite. Our model leans this way without loving it. Prices move, so check the price at your bookmaker before you back it.

Atlanta Dream +1.5 on the Line (-278)
Odds available at FanDuel at time of publishing
The Atlanta Dream need to score more points than the Washington Mystics tonight and keep their strong form going. They've won 8 of their last 10 games and are scoring nearly 96 points a game over the last 20 matches. Meanwhile, the Mystics are also playing well, winning 8 of their last 10, but Atlanta has the home advantage and is scoring more. The main risk here is that both teams are quite close in strength, which could make the game tighter than expected. Still, Atlanta's recent performance gives them a good chance to cover the spread. It was priced at -278 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $13.60 if it lands. The number next to the team is the handicap, and that team's score is adjusted by it before the bet is settled. This is an alternate line, so it is not the main number on the board and the price moves with it. The bookmakers have this as a clear favourite. Our model leans this way without loving it.

Allisha Gray Under 21.5 Points and Rebounds (-110)
Odds available at DraftKings at time of publishing
Allisha Gray is facing a tough challenge against the Washington Mystics, who have been playing strong defense lately. Both teams have been winning a lot, but Gray might find it hard to rack up points and rebounds against this solid Mystics lineup. The Mystics have been good at limiting scoring opportunities, and Gray's recent performances suggest she could struggle to reach her numbers. Even though she has been a key player for the Atlanta Dream, this matchup isn't easy. With both teams fighting for wins and the Mystics having some solid defensive stats lately, betting on Gray to score under 21.5 points and rebounds seems like a smart move. Just remember, there's always a chance she surprises us, but the odds are looking favorable for an under bet here. It was priced at -110 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $19.10 if it lands.

Rhyne Howard Under 18.5 Points (-110)
Odds available at FanDuel at time of publishing
Rhyne Howard has been on fire lately, helping the Atlanta Dream score an impressive average of nearly 96 points in their last 20 games. However, in this matchup against the Washington Mystics, it might be tougher for her to reach over 18.5 points. Both teams are playing well, winning 5 of their last 6 games, but Howard could face a lot of defensive pressure given how closely matched these teams are. On top of that, the Mystics have been known to limit scoring opportunities. They typically force more turnovers and give away fewer free throws than usual. This could mean fewer chances for Howard to rack up points. While she's capable of a big game, the risk is that the defense might just keep her under that total. It was priced at -110 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $19.10 if it lands. The bookmakers have this as a slight favourite. Our model leans this way without loving it.

Sonia Citron has been stepping up her game with the Atlanta Dream, and that's good news for this bet. The Dream have been on fire, winning 8 of their last 10 games and scoring a lot. With Citron's ability to create plays, it seems likely she'll rack up over 4.5 assists against the Washington Mystics, who also have strong scoring but have struggled with defensive consistency. The most concrete risk here is that both teams are in great form, making it a tight matchup. Still, with Citron's recent performance and the Dream's scoring success, the opportunity for her to dish out those assists looks promising. It's a bet worth considering as she plays a big role in Atlanta's offense. It was priced at -110 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $19.10 if it lands. The bookmakers have this as a slight favourite. Our model leans this way without loving it. Prices move, so check the price at your bookmaker before you back it. And if this one does not feel right to you, skipping it is a perfectly good move.
That is how our model reads Atlanta Dream v Washington Mystics. Prices move, so check the price at your bookmaker before you back anything. And if a game does not feel right to you, the strongest move is to skip it -- there is another one tomorrow.
