Injuries have officially caught up to the expansion Toronto Tempo, who have dropped nine of their last 12 games heading into tonight's matchup.
Don't expect the Atlanta Dream to show any sympathy. Our Dream vs. Tempo predictions expect Allisha Gray and a veteran Atlanta lineup to easily handle business at Coca-Cola Coliseum as -300 betting favorites.

Dream vs Tempo prediction
Dream vs Tempo best bet: Allisha Gray Over 19.5 points (-115)
It’s been a wobbly July so far for the Atlanta Dream, but this matchup is the perfect medicine. The Toronto Tempo are still missing injured backcourt duo Brittney Sykes and Kiki Rice, and that paves the way for Atlanta’s guards to run the show tonight.
That starts with Allisha Gray, who’s poured in 20+ points in four straight games and led the Dream with 26 points in their blowout victory in Toronto last month.
Plus, the Tempo’s defensive struggles are no secret. They’re giving up 91.5 PPG, second-most in the league, and Sykes’ absence takes away their best Gray stopper.
COVERS INTEL: Allisha Gray’s two-point game has been rock-solid this month, and she’s 18-for-31 inside the arc across her last three outings. If the 3-pointers are falling, too, it’s just a bonus.
Dream vs Tempo same-game parlay
This SGP doubles down on the Atlanta backcourt, where Gray has been cooking lately and Jordin Canada continues to rank among the WNBA’s best playmakers. Canada has nailed this Over in her last four contests, headlined by a 12-assist gem against the Portland Fire, and I expect her to carve up Toronto tonight.
The Tempo have lost five of their last six home games, and the hosts are light on firepower here, with so much of the scoring burden on Marina Mabrey's shoulders. Don't overthink the Dream's road woes. They're 14-8 SU when they get the favorites tag.
Dream vs Tempo SGP (+240)
- Allisha Gray Over 19.5 points
- Jordin Canada Over 7.5 assists

Dream vs Tempo player prop pick
Nyara Sabally Over 4.5 rebounds (-115)
With Atlanta’s up-tempo style, it should be a busy night for Nyara Sabally on the glass. She’s averaging 5.0 RPG this year and grabbed seven boards in last weekend’s win over the New York Liberty.
Look for Sandy Brondello to lean heavily on Sabally here to combat Angel Reese’s presence in the paint, and Toronto is short on frontcourt depth with Temi Fagbenle in and out of the lineup.
The Tempo offense is coming off a 62-point dud earlier this week, so there should be chances for Sabally on the offensive glass, too.
