Atlanta vs Golden State Picks & Props
ATL vs GS Picks
WNBA Picks
Prior to her 1-for-5 effort against Golden State last game, Rhyne Howard had drilled at least four 3-pointers in five of her previous seven games.
Look for her to bounce back against the Valkyries in the rematch Friday, as GState has the worst 3-point field goal defense in the WNBA.
The Dream finished with a season-low 66 points in Wednesday’s loss to the Valkyries, shooting just 39% from the field, knocking down only 4-of-18 shots from beyond the arc, and finishing 12-of-22 from the charity stripe.
Atlanta won the turnover and rebound battles and comfortably beat the Valkyries in fast-break points and PITP. Positive regression in efficiency can get them back in business.
The Dream shoot 44.3% as a team and average 8.9 made threes per game, so even Golden State’s strong defense won’t keep them stifled for two straight contests.
Angel Reese has averaged 13 rebounds per game on the road compared to just 10.4 at home, setting her up nicely to grab 12+ rebounds for a second straight game at Chase Center.
Golden State has improved its team rebounding, but the Valkyries’ 40.9 missed FGA per game lead the W. Reese is in line for a strong volume of rebounding opportunities, and Golden State’s bigs can shoot, so they’re not packed in the paint to fight Reese for them. I’m happy betting this line up to 12.5 for +120 odds.
Both teams rank in the Top 4 in Defensive Rating, Top 3 in fewest points allowed and Bottom 6 in pace. Across the last three H2H matchups, The Dream and Valkyries combined to average just 145.6. In a matchup of premier defenses, I’ll bet the Under down to 160.5.
Reese is one of just 10 players in the W averaging 10+ PITP. Golden State is surrendering just 31.6 PITP on the season, but over the last four games, they’ve given up 39.5. I’ll play this one up to 14.5.
