Dream vs. Mystics Prediction: WNBA Picks for Wednesday, Sept. 30
My Dream vs. Mystics prediction expects Atlanta to earn its first postseason series win since 2016 tonight. Game 2 of this Round 1 series is set to begin at 7 p.m. ET on Wednesday at CareFirst Arena on ESPN.
Atlanta is suddenly in a favorable position in the WNBA championship odds playoff picture following the upset of the No. 1 Minnesota Lynx. I believe the Dream will take care of business against the Mystics.

🏆 Who will win Dream vs. Mystics?
I project the Dream will win by five points against the Mystics on Wednesday. Washington is the youngest team ever to make the WNBA playoffs, as shown by its second-half performance in Game 1. With a better start in Game 2, the Dream should have no problem dispatching the Mystics.
Score prediction: Dream 86, Mystics 81
💰 Dream vs. Mystics prediction & best bet
Dream -2.5 (-110)
This spread got as high as 4.5 yesterday, but the line has dropped back down to 2.5. I think the market was right to push it out early, so I'll take advantage and grab this -2.5 at bet365.
I'm not worried about the Dream finishing off this series on the road. Atlanta led the WNBA in net rating away from home during the regular season, at +8.7. The Dream ranked second in road defensive rating.
As demonstrated in the second half of Game 1, the Dream have a distinct talent advantage over the Mystics when they are locked in defensively.
🔥 Best Dream vs. Mystics player prop bet
Georgia Amoore Under 11.5 points + assists (-134)
Washington guard Georgia Amoore has struggled in this matchup all year. Amoore has failed to clear this line in all four head-to-head meetings, averaging 4.8 points and 1 assist on 13.1% usage.
The Dream can make life difficult for opposing guards, ranking second in defending spot-ups, per Props Madness. That's how Amoore earns 48% of her scoring production. Atlanta also allows the third-fewest assists in the league.
With the Mystics' season on the line, head coach Sydney Johnson won't afraid to make rotation changes. I'll bet against Amoore logging more than the 24 minutes she did in Game 1.
🚀 Dream vs. Mystics same-game parlay
I'll keep things simple with my Dream vs. Mystics parlay. I expect Atlanta to control this game from start to finish and wrap up a postseason series win by the end of the night. Angel Reese grabbing 10-plus rebounds is also pretty safe, considering she's done so in 23 of her previous 25 games.
