Atlanta Dream vs Washington Mystics Prediction & Picks (Rhyne Howard Key Factor): Don't Miss These Odds

Overall, Atlanta looks like a smart pick to keep it competitive. It was priced at -333 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $13.00 if it lands.

Rhyne Howard Under 18.5 Points (-110)

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 Under 18.5 Points and Rebounds (-110)

Sonia Citron has been playing well, but she might struggle to hit her numbers against the Atlanta Dream. The Dream have been on fire lately, winning 8 of their last 10 games and scoring a ton of points. They're also pretty good at grabbing rebounds, which could limit Citron's chances to rack up her stats. While Citron has shown she can score and rebound, the matchup against the Dream might make it tough to reach 18.5 combined points and rebounds.

Michaela Onyenwere Under 8.5 Points (-109)

The Atlanta Dream have been on fire lately, winning 8 of their last 10 games and scoring an impressive average of nearly 96 points in that stretch. Michaela Onyenwere is a key player for them, but with the high level of competition from the Washington Mystics, who also have a strong record, this game could be a tough one for her. Both teams are in great form, but the Mystics are known for their solid defense. This makes it tricky for Onyenwere to rack up points. While the numbers suggest she has a good chance of scoring, the risk is that both teams may focus more on defense in a tight game. Betting on her to score under 8.5 points seems like a smart choice given the matchup. It was priced at -109 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $19.20 if it lands.
