🏀 Dream vs. Lynx Prediction: Odds, Picks & Top Player Prop
The Atlanta Dream stand atop the WNBA standings with their 4-1 record, and they will test their strength today against a Minnesota Lynx (4-2) squad that has exceeded expectations without their best player.
Atlanta is a 2.5-point betting favorite as one of the top risers in the WNBA championship odds. My Dream vs. Lynx prediction will back the better team on the road ahead of tipoff at 9 p.m. ET (USA Network) at Target Center in Minneapolis.

🏆 Who will win Dream vs. Lynx?
I'm projecting the Dream to win by five points in a matchup between two of the premier teams in the WNBA. Atlanta's top-ranked defense will make like difficult for a Minnesota team still without its best player.
Score prediction: Dream 85, Lynx 80
💰 Dream vs. Lynx prediction & best bet
Dream -2.5 (-107)
This is a step up in competition for the Lynx, who have just one victory against a team with a winning record. Atlanta has been the best team in the league thus far, with its lone loss being a one-point defeat against the defending champions.
The Dream have benefited from a favorable schedule, as they've had multiple days off between games and have yet to be tested by their lack of depth. But this is still one of those situations, as Atlanta hasn't played since Sunday.
I like this spread under a single possession.
🔥 Best Dream vs. Lynx player prop bet
Courtney Williams Over 14.5 points (-122)
Courtney Williams loves to attack teams with her mid-range jumper. Fortunately for her, the Dream are more than willing to give that up under Karl Smesko in their attempt to win the 3-point math.
Atlanta ranks 14th in the league in defending mid-range shots. The Dream are also 14th in defending pick-and-roll ball-handlers, per Props Madness. The latter is how Williams gets 32% of her scoring production.
Williams has cleared this line in four straight games. If the Lynx hope to have a shot tonight, she needs to make it five in a row.
🚀 Dream vs. Lynx same-game parlay
Because my three Dream vs. Lynx predictions aren't correlated, we can get a +461 parlay payout at FanDuel. While each individual leg has an edge, I wouldn't go crazy with this parlay given the specific game script required to win.
