Reasons:
1. Defensively, the Dream may have an easier time Sunday when they face a Chicago Sky team missing leading scorer Epiphanny Prince.
2. Atlanta (7-7) has put behind a slow start, winning a season-high three straight to move within a game of slumping Chicago (7-5) for third place in the Eastern Conference.
3. McCoughtry's performance in the last game (24 pts) was a good sign for Atlanta, she had two off games before regaining her composure and looking like the scoring champion that she is.
4. Atlanta did blow a significant lead over Chicago in the first meeting this season. The Dream were ahead by 22 in the first quarter, but the Sky rallied for a 94-92 overtime win June 2 behind Prince (who is not playing!), who hit a tying 3-pointer at the end of regulation and added eight points in the extra period.
5. Atlanta won't have to contend with Prince on Sunday as she's out with a fractured foot. The Sky were off to the best start in franchise history before Prince went down but now have lost four straight.
Atlanta -2 is my WNBA play of the month. Take care! |

So much value on the under that its going over.
Under 157 for full game line, and adjusted total 153, so much value there.

There's a difference between blowing a lead, and the other team doing something out of the norm. Chicago is a poor 3-pt shooting team, and they suddenly got hot. That's basketball. |

Yes, and what you watched was one team get hot...while the other went cold. Thats BASKETBALL. Blowing a lead would be missing layups or making stupid turnovers. Atlanta was missing jumpers which is unfortunately part of basketball. I guess if you expect a team to continue to shoot 50% while the other is at 30%...then sure. |
