- The Mystics are the last winless team left in the WNBA and their lack of reliable guard play is a big reason for that.
- Washington’s offense ranks last in the WNBA in scoring this season and that will cost them against an explosive Atlanta team.
The only winless team left in the WNBA this season is the Washington Mystics. They have dropped six straight games to start the season and they will attempt to end their losing streak on Wednesday night at home against the Atlanta Dream. Here, you will get our WNBA betting picks for Dream vs Mystics, in a matchup where both teams could really use a win.
This game will be played at 7:00 PM ET at Entertainment & Sports Arena on Wednesday, May 29, 2024.
Atlanta Dream
The Atlanta Dream have had an up and down start to their 2024 season. They have wins over the LA Sparks and Dallas Wings under their belt early in the year, along with losses to the Phoenix Mercury and Minnesota Lynx. But after a 2-2 start, the Dream could look at tonight’s Dream vs Mystics matchup as a must-win game given how much the Mystics have struggled at the beginning of this year.
Atlanta will have a huge edge from the guard spots in this game, as the Dream have had either Rhyne Howard or Allisha Gray score 20+ points in each of their first four games this season. While guarding Shakira Austin in the paint will be the main concern for the Dream in this contest, our expectation is that Atlanta’s perimeter edge will offset anything the Mystics are able to do in the paint tonight.
Washington Mystics
The Washington Mystics are off to the slowest start in the WNBA this season. They are 0-6 and have really struggled to put anything together offensively. Washington is the only team in the WNBA averaging under 75 points per game through the first couple of weeks of the season. They will look to change that tonight as they attempt to get into the win column for the first time against Atlanta.
For the Mystics to get a win tonight, their bigs are going to need to have a spectacular showing. Shakira Austin, Stefanie Dolson, and Aaliyah Edwards will need to control the glass and do plenty of scoring to help Washington overcome the deficit we anticipate for them on the outside in this matchup. While Washington is certainly capable of winning tonight, they appear to have fewer paths to victory than the Dream in this one.
