The Atlanta Dream have climbed up 21-12 on the season and are now in contention for the No. 1 spot in the Eastern Conference. A six-game win streak was snapped on August 15 by the Seattle Storm, so they'll look to get back in the win column on Sunday when they take on the Golden State Valkyries.
The Valkyries are riding a four-game win streak, but those wins came against some of the weakest teams in the league, including the Chicago Sky and Connecticut Sun. Can they keep things going against much tougher competition in the Dream?
Allisha Greay is coming off a tough performance against the Storm, where she scored just 12 points while shooting 33.3% from the field. I'm going to bet on her to go under his points total once again when she takes on one of the best defensive teams in the WNBA in the Valkyries, who rank third in defensive rating at 99.4.
This game seems like an obvious spot to bet the UNDER. The Dream and the Valkyries rank 12th and 13th in the WNBA in pace. On top of the slow pace, both squads are amongst the best defensive teams in the league, ranking third and fourth in defensive rating.
Slow pace and strong defense generally equals a low-scoring game. The last time these two teams faced each other, a total of just 152 combined points were scored. If we have another 152-point game on Sunday, the UNDER will be a winning bet.
