Don't expect a blowout in Atlanta. The Dream have struggled to separate from opponents, giving the Sky a prime opportunity to stay within striking distance.

Atlanta takes the floor as heavy 11.5-point favorites this afternoon, hunting for a fourth victory in their last five outings. But don't let the straight-up record fool you—the Dream have been highly unkind to bettors recently.

Expect Chicago to exploit those coverage gaps, making them the sharp side to cover in our Sky vs. Dream predictions.

  • UPDATE: Added Angel Reese prop!

Sky vs Dream prediction

Sky vs Dream best bet: Sky +11.5 (-110)

The Atlanta Dream have seemingly recovered from their midseason slump, but they still aren't getting the job done for bettors.

Atlanta has covered just once in its last 10 games. While the Dream have some impressive raw defensive stats, they give up a league-worst 1.18 points per scoring attempt, which has kept even weaker opponents in games.

The Chicago Sky do enough to stay close to most opponents, holding opponents to 30.8% from deep and committing only 13.5 turnovers per game.

I like the Sky to cover at +10 or more.

Covers COVERS INTEL: The Dream's opponents have a 55.2% effective field goal percentage. Allowing that efficiency has made it difficult for Atlanta to blow out anyone this season.

Sky vs Dream same-game parlay

While both teams have been playing to the Over lately, I'm skeptical about how many points we'll see this afternoon. The first meeting ended with a total of 157 points, and they've hit the Under in each of their last three showdowns.

I'll also take Angel Reese to hit her rebounding total. Reese is averaging 11.8 boards per game, and has pulled down 13 rebounds in three of her last five games.

Chicago ranks 12th in the WNBA in rebounding rate (47.2%), which should allow Reese to dominate the glass today.

Sky vs Dream SGP

  • Sky +11.5
  • Under 179.5
  • Angel Reese Over 12.5 rebounds

Sky vs Dream player prop pick

Angel Reese Over 16.5 points (-125)

I've been backing Reese to score a lot this year, and it has mostly paid off. The often-maligned shooter is averaging a career-best 15.7 ppg on 43.4% shooting and has scored 17+ points in each of her last four games.

While the Sky play good perimeter defense, they allow 89.4 ppg, including an average of 40.9 points in the paint. Throw in the fact Reese will dominate the offensive glass against Chicago, and I love her to hit the Over on her scoring total today.

He graduated from Syracuse University with degrees in Magazine Journalism and Political Science in 2003, and has covered major gambling events like the World Series of Poker in his career. Since joining Covers in 2022, Ed has offered his sports betting analysis primarily on MLB, NFL, college football, and college basketball games, but is willing to take on any sport.

His betting strategy focuses more on finding line value based on deviations from the market rather than traditional handicapping, primarily shopping between DraftKings, FanDuel, and Fanatics in his home state of Connecticut, though he’s not afraid to do deep game analysis to find profitable bets at any book.

Outside of gambling, Ed is an avid curler who competes in mixed doubles on the World Curling Tour and runs a popular curling YouTube channel, Chess on Ice. That experience has come in handy during the Olympics, when he has proven to be a successful curling bettor as well. 

Ed's advice to new bettors is to always open multiple sportsbook accounts and check the odds at each before placing any bet. Successful sports betting is about consistently beating the closing line value, which requires finding spots where one book is offering odds far better than the rest of the market and jumping on those opportunities.
