Two Eastern Conference squads on completely different courses are clashing tonight, when the struggling Atlanta Dream (10-16), who want to end their biggest losing streak of the season, are hosting the New York Liberty (13-12), who want to turn their latest victory into a streak.
Atlanta Dream have a 10-16 record so far this season (11-15 ATS) and have fallen to the second to last place of the East, where they are tied with Chicago. They have five consecutive losses and in their last game they lost at home against Minnesota with a 72-81 score. Tiffany Hayes leads the team in scoring with 16.5 ppg, adding 4.3 rpg. She is followed by Brittney Sykes with 12 ppg, while Layshia Clanderon adds 11.8 ppg and a team high 6.9 assists per game.
New York Liberty have a 13-12 record so far this season (11-14 ATS) and currently sit in the third place of the East. In their last game they snapped a two-game losing streak by winning at home against Indiana with an 81-76 score. Tina Charles leads the team in scoring with 20.1 ppg, adding a team high 9.5 rebounds per game. She is followed by Shavonte Zellous with 11.8 ppg, 4.2 rebounds and a team high 3.1 assists per game, while Sugar Rodgers adds 11.5 ppg.
This will be the third meeting between those two teams this season, with each team having won once at home. Atlanta are 7-6 at home, while New York are 5-8 on the road. Atlanta are slightly better offensively, scoring 80.1 ppg to New York’s 79.7 (third-worse), while New York are better defensively, allowing 80 ppg to Atlanta’s 82.2. New York have better percentages both in field goals, shooting with 42.4% to Atlanta’s 41.4% (third-worse), and in 3-pointers, shooting with 32.5% to Atlanta’s league-low of 28%. Liberty grab a league-best 38.5 rebounds per game to Dreams’ 35.3, while Dream are better in assists made, with 18.1 to Liberty’s 16.6 and in turnovers committed, with a third-best 13 per game to Liberty’s 13.7. Atlanta have been struggling mightily lately and it looks like tonight will be a very close game or a New York win.

A duel between the two best teams of the WNBA takes place tonight in a rematch of last season’s thrilling Finals, when the league leaders since the start of the season, Minnesota Lynx (21-3) are hosting the defending champions Los Angeles Sparks (18-7).
Minnesota Lynx have the best record currently in the league with 21-3 (13-9-2) and in their last game they bounced back after just their third loss of the season with a road victory against Atlanta with a 72-81 score. Sylvia Fowles leads the team in scoring with 20.7 ppg, adding team highs both in rebounds, with 10 per game, and in blocks with 2 per game. She is followed by Maya Moore with 17 ppg, adding 5.5 rebounds and 3.6 assists.
Los Angeles Sparks have an 18-7 record so far this season (14-11 ATS) and currently sit on the second place of the West and of the whole league. In their last game they saw a four-game winning streak getting snapped by losing on the road against Dallas with an 85-79 score. Nneka Ogwumike leads the team in scoring with 19.6 ppg, adding 7.7 rebounds per game. She is followed by Candace Parker with 16.6 ppg, adding team highs both in rebounds, with 8.4 per game, and assists, with 4.5 per game.
In their previous matchup earlier this season, Minnesota won at home with an 88-77 score. Minnesota are 11-1 at home, while Los Angeles are 6-6 on the road. Minnesota are better both offensively, scoring a league second-best 86.2 ppg to Los Angeles’ 83.8, and defensively, allowing a league-best 76 ppg to Los Angeles’ second-best of 77.1. Los Angeles have a slightly better field goal percentage, shooting with a league-best 47.9% to Minnesota’s 47.4% (second-best), while Minnesota have a slightly better 3-point percentage, shooting with a 35.3% to Los Angeles’ 33.8%. Lynx lead the league in assists made, with 20.7 ppg to Sparks’ 17.9, and are better in rebounding, grabbing 35 to Sparks’ third-worse of 30.7. Sparks commit less turnovers (13.4 to 14.5). Minnesota are unstoppable so far this season and Los Angeles have been mediocre on the road, so pick Minnesota for the win tonight.
