WNBA - 651 Connecticut Sun @ 652 Atlanta Dream
Projected lines: 161 points | Atlanta by 6 points
***DOUBLE DIME PLAY***
Atlanta will have their star Angel McCoughtry back today after a team suspension, so the Dream will be in full force today. With Angel back and with the team focused, they are a top contender in the Eastern conference, therefore they should be clearly favored on this home contest against Connecticut, especially when A. Jones keeps being out due to injury.
This is a good spot for Atlanta, while this will be the 3rd game of a road trip for Connecticut, with trips to Chicago and San Antonio in the first two games. The Sun is coming from a nice win in San Antonio, however they benefited from the Silver Stars' center Jayne Appel, who played just 8 minutes. Thanks to that, Tina Charles had a field day with 20 points and 10 rebounds.
Connecticut is 2-0 against Atlanta this season, with two huge performances by Tina Charles with 23 points and 22 rebounds in one game and 22 points and 11 boards in the other one. However, this time, Atlanta has their center Erika de Souza back and she's more than capable of limiting Charles today with her hustle play. So, this game won't have nothing to do with the previous two games of this series, as Atlanta actually has a frontcourt edge on this matchup, with De Souza back and Jones out.
I believe Atlanta will have a great game today, as they'll be fired up to get revenge over Connecticut, with their best player back in the lineup. This is a bad spot for Connecticut, so I believe the Dream will have a huge offensive game and get an easy win today. Therefore, I'll be taking Atlanta in here in a Double Dime Play! As I expect Atlanta to have a great offensive game, while Connecticut should also have decent offensive production, I came up with a totals projection of 161 points, high enough for me to take the Over in here as well in a Single Dime Play.
