Connecticut Sun vs Atlanta Dream Prediction: Can the Dream avoid a home defeat?
Connecticut Sun vs Atlanta Dream Prediction: The Connecticut Sun will start as favorites to win their upcoming game against the Atlanta Dream as per the latest predictions.
The Atlanta Dream has another formidable challenge as they are set to host the Connecticut Sun for the next WNBA fixture at their home arena of the Gateway Center on Friday, 15 July. It has been a topsy-turvy season for the Dream. They are currently the #6 seed but their playoff spot might just start looking in danger if they fail to perform well in the upcoming matchups. Atlanta’s last fixture ended with a crushing loss to Chicago. Cheyenne Parker and Tiffany Hayes were some of the players who looked good. Parker scored 14 points with 6 rebounds. Hayes added 12 points and 8 rebounds to her name. The Dream needs a comprehensive team effort to avoid a home defeat.
The Connecticut Sun has regained the momentum after a win in the last game against the Fever. Jonquel Jones had another brilliant night, scoring 20 points for her side with 14 rebounds. DeWanna Bonner looked good too with 19 points and 5 rebounds. However, Connecticut needs to improve on the shooting as their field goal success rate was 46.3% against the last-ranked team on the table. A win on Friday will improve their chances of snatching back the top spot of the Eastern Conference from the Sky.
