🏆 Who will win Wings vs. Dream?
Atlanta has been one of the best teams in the W this season, and its defense is the reason why. The Dream's defense helped them pull out a five-point win against Dallas already this season.
Score prediction: Dream 88, Wings 85
💰 Wings vs. Dream prediction & best bet
Wings +5.5 (-102)
The Wings look vastly improved in Bueckers' second season with the team. They're coming off back-to-back double-digit-point wins and have covered in three of five outings, thanks to an offense that's No. 1 in offensive rating (114.6) and No. 2 in assist rate (72.5%).
With Bueckers, Arike Ogunbowale, Jessica Shepard, and No. 1 pick Azzi Fudd finding her groove, Dallas has the offensive talent to keep things close with a Dream team that's last in the W in effective field-goal percentage (44%).
The Wings' 3-point shooting should be an X-factor, they lead the league 3-point percentage (36.9%).

🔥 Best Wings vs. Dream player prop bet
Paige Bueckers Over 18.5 points (-128)
Bueckers is already living up to the buzz as the W's next great point guard. The reigning WNBA Rookie of the Year is top 10 in the league in PPG (20.8) and doing it at a ridiculously efficient level - she's shooting 57.6% from the floor and 57.9% from behind the arc.
The former No. 1 pick is also top 10 in the league in both PER (24.2) and offensive rating (131.9), while sitting No. 2 in offensive win shares (0.8).
The Dream were able to stymie Bueckers to some degree last time around, but with Fudd healthy and emerging as a scoring threat, it should open things up for Bueckers this time.
🚀 Wings vs. Dream same-game parlay
If the Wings are going to keep this game close on the road, their offense needs to shine and push the Dream's defense. To do that, Bueckers needs to continue to show she's one of the league's best scorers.
