💰 Mystics vs. Dream prediction & best bet
Dream -7.5 (+100 via Hard Rock Bet)
The Mystics were somewhat lucky to win two of three meetings with the Dream this season.
The Dream were favored by 5.5 points in both meetings in Washington - the Mystics ended up winning each of those games by five points - and covered as an 8.5-point favorite in Atlanta with a 109-77 victory.
It's unlikely the Mystics will cover for a third straight time against the Dream, especially since Atlanta has won five straight games overall by an average margin of 21.2 points. Dream -7.5 (+100 via Hard Rock Bet) is the best line available among the top sports betting sites.
Score prediction: Dream 88, Mystics 78
🔥 Best Mystics vs. Dream player prop bet
Allisha Gray Over 18.5 points (-102 via FanDuel)
While Reese is the star of this team, she has zero playoff experience, and against a frontcourt featuring both Austin and Kiki Iriafen, I doubt the Dream will lean on her for offense.
Allisha Gray, however, is a different story. She's a veteran, a four-time All-Star, and has started 13 career playoff games. Against the Mystics' physical frontcourt, expect the Dream to rely on their veteran guard, who has plenty of playoff experience and scored 26 points against Washington in their last meeting.
Gray Over 18.5 points (-102 via FanDuel) is the best line available among the top sports betting apps.
