Zak Hanshew<\/a> 8+ years betting experience<\/p>\n \n Updated: \u2022 4 min read<\/p>\n It\u2019s Angel Reese\u2019s world, and we\u2019re just handicapping it. The Dream superstar is shifting into playoff gear, driving Atlanta\u2019s postseason push and locking in high-value prop angles down the stretch.<\/p>\n Photo By – Reuters Connect. Atlanta Dream forward Angel Reese (5) celebrates after scoring in the second quarter against the New York Liberty at Barclays Center.<\/p>\n The Atlanta Dream and New York Liberty face off in their respective season finales as both teams look to improve their playoff positions. A win for Atlanta clinches the No. 4 seed, and the Liberty can move up to the No. 7 seed with a win.<\/p>\n Angel Reese is on a tear, and my WNBA picks<\/a> & Dream vs. Liberty prediction\u00a0expect her to wrap up a record-setting season in style.<\/p>\n Read on to see why I\u2019m picking the Dream to win in a low-scoring victory as Reese delivers another strong double-double.<\/p>\n \u00a0TOP PICK Angel Reese<\/a> is making her case for DPOY, but she\u2019s also enjoying the best offensive season of her career, averaging 16.6 ppg. She\u2019s scored 15+ in 28 of 42 games, good for 67%.<\/p>\n Over her last 10 appearances, Reese has averaged 20 ppg, scoring 15+ nine times, including each of her last five. She posted 18 and 23 points in two matchups with the New York Liberty<\/a> this season.<\/p>\n Reese leads the W in second-chance points (4.3) and ranks sixth in PITP (11.2). With Breanna Stewart<\/a> a late addition to the injury report, Reese should enjoy a more\u00a0favorable defensive matchup against a Liberty team that owns a 109.8 Defensive Rating in 14 games without Stewart since last season.<\/p>\n Play to 17.5.<\/p>\n Enjoying Covers content? Add us as a preferred source on your Google account Breanna Stewart\u2019s late addition to the injury report suggests she won\u2019t take the court tonight, and the Liberty may choose to limit the workload of its other players, especially if the Atlanta Dream<\/a> jump out to an early lead.<\/p>\n The Liberty can improve their playoff positioning marginally, but Atlanta can move up to No. 4 and guarantee they\u2019ll host at least one playoff series. The Dream have more to play for and should be more highly motivated, which makes me lean Atlanta as the outright winner.<\/p>\n New York\u2019s offense simply isn\u2019t the same without Breanna Stewart on the court, and her absence tonight coupled with Atlanta\u2019s strong defense will depress the team\u2019s scoring total.<\/p>\n Since last season, the Liberty\u2019s scoring average has dropped from 88.2 to 82.1 ppg with Stewie sidelined, and the team\u2019s Offensive Rating has fallen from 110.7 to 105.9.<\/p>\n Play to 173.5.<\/p>\n Dream vs Liberty combo<\/p>\n Angel Reese Over 14.5 points Want more basketball combos? Check out our WNBA parlay picks<\/a> page!<\/p>\n Dream vs Liberty player prop: Angel Reese 11.5 rebounds<\/p>\n Reese leads the WNBA in rebounds at 12.3 per game, and she\u2019s corralled at least 12 boards in 23 of 42 appearances. That includes 14 of 21 road games in which she\u2019s averaged 13.1 rebounds.<\/p>\n Reese has grabbed 12 rebounds only twice in nine tries against the Liberty, though she\u2019s fared better with Stewart sidelined. In seven games against Stewart, Reese has averaged 10.1 rebounds, but in two games against the Liberty with Stewie sidelined, her rebound average jumps to 13.<\/p>\n With Stewart, the Liberty have surrendered only 32.6 rebounds per game since 2025, but with her out, that number balloons to 37.8.<\/p>\n This could be a legacy game for Reese as she can lead her team to a Top 4 seed and cement her case for Defensive Player of the Year with another strong outing.
