Atlanta Dream vs Connecticut Sun Prediction: Sun to return to winning ways

Atlanta Dream vs Connecticut Sun Prediction: The Connecticut Sun will start as favorites to win their upcoming game against the Atlanta Dream as per the latest predictions.

The action in the blockbuster Sunday will begin with the Atlanta Dream hosting the Connecticut Sun in the afternoon at the Gateway Center Park. It has been a tough journey so far for the Dream. They got the momentum with an important win against the Wings but the last game ended with a disheartening loss against the Liberty.

Most of Atlanta’s starters seemed to have an off day. Asia Durr who was not in the starting lineup turned out to be the top-scorer with 23 points. The Dream needs to improve its field goal% which was just 36.6% in the last game.

The Connecticut Sun will aim to bounce back when they meet the Dream today. Two consecutive defeats have already snatched the top position from them in the Eastern Conference. Another loss can start making things look ugly.

The Sun is coming off a home defeat against the Liberty in the last fixture. Courtney Williams was the top scorer in that game with 16 points. She also added 7 rebounds to her name. Jonquel Jones, DeWanna Bonner, and Brionna Jones scored 12 points each. However, nothing seemed enough as the Sun couldn’t avoid a loss by 4 points in the end.
