The red-hot Atlanta Dream head out West to face the rising Golden State Valkyries tonight at Chase Center.
Atlanta comes into tonight in second place in the WNBA, overtaking the New York Liberty, and now have championship dreams. (The Minnesota Lynx, of course, have a big say in whether that becomes a reality.)
The Dream are 8-2 in their last 10 games. And the Valkyries come with a similar momentum. They’ve won four straight, surging past the Indiana Fever, and now are in sixth place in the standings.
Golden State’s defense has been their calling card, allowing just 76.8 points per game, second-best in the WNBA. The Valkyries have held their opponents to below 60 points a game in three out of their last four games.
Atlanta relies heavily on balance, with Allisha Gray (18.8 PPG) and Rhyne Howard (16.5 PPG) leading a well-rounded rotation. Despite injuries, the Dream remain top-five in both scoring and defense.
Prediction
Atlanta and Golden State have split their two previous meetings this year. Expect the Dream to come out on top tonight, but by a five-point margin or less.
Prediction: Atlanta Dream 82, Golden State Valkyries 77
