Final Thoughts
Atlanta may not have Brittney Griner for this game depending on whether or not she is disciplined by the league. Whether or not Griner is allowed to suit up here, I will lay the points with the Atlanta Dream in this game. Atlanta’s experience should help them to create separation against a young and talented Mystics team. Expect the Dream to stay hot at home and to win their fifth out of six.
