Storylines & Matchups
Atlanta’s Red-Hot Offense
Coming off a statement win: Rhyne Howard erupted for 36 points and 9 threes against Chicago.
Dream sit third in league offensive rating—built on paint scoring and spacing.
Mystics’ Momentum
Washington dominated Connecticut 104–67 behind Brittney Sykes’s 28 points.
Rookie Kiki Iriafen (Rookie of the Month for May) and Sonia Citron (leading rookie scorer) give a boost.
However, they’re still recovering from frontcourt/guard losses—Georgia Amoore (ACL), Aaliyah Edwards (back), and Shakira Austin remain out.
X‑Factors
Paint Dominance
Dream’s bigs (Griner, Jones) and offensive rebounding threaten to overpower Mystics’ young frontcourt.
Tempo & Turnovers
Washington thrives off fast breaks but must protect the ball (they average ~15.5 turnovers per game).
Atlanta’s athleticism and pressure could exploit those mistakes.
Roster Depth
Mystics rely heavily on Sykes and rookies—bench production and frontcourt presence will matter.
Atlanta has kept a healthy rotation, with no current injuries.
Dream vs. Mystics Prediction
Rebounding & second‑chance points: Can Washington match Atlanta on the glass? Ball control: Will Mystics limit turnovers and hit threes? Rhyne Howard performance: Will she sustain her hot streak?
Expect a fast-paced, paint-heavy game with both teams pushing tempo. Atlanta’s depth and experience should prevail, but the Mystics’ young core and home energy could make it competitive. I like the over today.
Dream vs. Mystics Prediction: OVER 158.5
