Reese's Dream Face Sun Underdogs: Betting Trends Favor Low Scoring
14 Aug
Summary
- Connecticut Sun is the league's weakest offensive team.
- Atlanta Dream struggles offensively, averaging 0.93 points per play.
- Past 10 meetings between Atlanta and Connecticut went under the total.
The Connecticut Sun are set to host Angel Reese and the Atlanta Dream, entering the game as considerable underdogs. Connecticut has struggled offensively throughout the season, averaging a league-low 79.7 points per game and holding the worst offensive rating in the WNBA. Their 3-point shooting is also a concern, as they convert only 29.7% of their attempts.
The Atlanta Dream are not a prolific offensive unit themselves, averaging just 0.93 points per play, which ranks 12th in the league. Given the Sun's defensive capabilities, which limit opponents to 86.8 points per game, the upcoming contest is anticipated to be a low-scoring affair. Betting trends also support this outlook, with the total score going under in each of the last 10 meetings between these two teams.
In terms of betting, the Dream are favored by 10.5 points, but their record against the spread suggests caution. Atlanta has a 11-21 record against the spread this season and has struggled when favored by double digits, holding a 1-6 record ATS in such situations. Additionally, Allisha Gray is projected to exceed 1.5 three-pointers made, despite a season average of 30.2% from beyond the arc, as the Sun allow opponents to shoot 35.1% from three-point range.
