Prop Bets: Atlanta Dream VS Connecticut Sun 2025-09-01

WNBA Showdown: Atlanta Dream vs. Connecticut Sun – September 1, 2025
The Atlanta Dream, favored at -110 to -115, are about to make the Connecticut Sun feel like they’ve wandered into a solar eclipse. The total is set at 159.0 points, and the spread? The Dream are giving -10.5 (yes, they’re that confident). Let’s break this down with the precision of a point guard on a fast break.

Why the Dream Are Cooking
The Dream’s moneyline odds (1.15–1.18) imply a 52–54% chance to win, which is about as shocking as finding out the sun rises in the east. They’re riding high on spreads (-10.5) with -110 odds, suggesting bookmakers think they’ll cover like a well-timed charge. Meanwhile, the Sun are priced at +4.8 to +5.6, which is generous enough to fund a retirement plan for a starting five.

Player Props: The Real Stars of the Show
1. Rhyne Howard’s Assists
- Over 4.5 assists (-138) is a steal. Howard averages 3.6 dimes per game but has cracked 5+ assists in 3 of her last 5. With the Sun’s defense likely focused on stopping Tina Charles, Howard’s passing could turn this into a Passion of the Playbook.

Leïla Lacan’s Points
- Under 10.5 points (-130) is a sleepy bet for Lacan, who averages just 7.2 PPG. She’s hit the under in 4 of her last 6 games—perfect for fans who prefer their scoring to sleep first.

Tina Charles’ First Basket
- At +500, betting Charles to swat the first bucket is like betting the first bird to sing at dawn. She’s a machine: 14.5 PPG, 5.5 RPG, and a 55% FG clip. The Sun’s frontcourt? A defensive version of a sieve.

The Verdict
The Dream are favored for a reason—they’re the Tesla of the WNBA: efficient, electric, and leaving the Sun in the dust. Take Atlanta -10.5 to cover, and don’t sleep on Rhyne Howard’s assists. As for the Sun? They’ll need to heat up from beyond the arc (32% 3PT team) or risk becoming the first team to lose in a 159-point game and still underperform.

Final Score Prediction: Atlanta 86, Connecticut 73. The Dream will dream; the Sun will… well, try not to combust. 🌙🔥
