WNBA Showdown: Connecticut Sun vs. Atlanta Dream – A Tale of Two Teams (and One Very Sad Spread)

The Connecticut Sun, 11-31 and clinging to hope like a sunburned fan at a beach party, face the Atlanta Dream (-11) on September 8. The Sun’s only recent highlight? A combined 45 points from Tina Charles and Marina Mabrey in their last win. Unfortunately, that game was against the Phoenix Mercury, not a math test. The Dream, meanwhile, are favored at -11 (decimal odds: 1.91), implying a 51% chance to win a game where the total points line is a suspiciously round 159.5. Let’s just say if this game were a cake, it’d be a layer cake with one layer… and it’s the “Atlanta wins by 12” flavor.

Key Stats & Props:
- Connecticut’s Jordin Canada is a prime prop target: Over 6.5 assists (-128) vs. Under (+104). Bet on her to dishing like she’s running a concession stand.
- Marina Mabrey (Sun): Over 13.5 points (-110) vs. Under (-118). She’s the team’s emotional leader… and their only hope.
- Tina Charles (Sun): Over 15.5 points (-118) vs. Under (-110). She’ll need to shoot like she’s in a free-throw contest with a toddler to hit this.
- Rhyne Howard (Dream): Over 19.5 points (-110) vs. Under (-118). She’s the reason Atlanta’s odds aren’t “1.15” (implied 87% win chance).

The Verdict:
The Sun are 5.7 underdogs (decimal: 5.7 = ~15.3% chance), which is about as likely as a solar eclipse in September. But hey, if you’re feeling spicy, take the Sun +11 and root for a comeback that’s more “Cinderella” than “Connecticut Sun.” For props, back Jordin Canada Over 6.5 assists (-128). If she doesn’t hit it, at least you’ll have a great excuse to yell, “I told you she’s just here for the free T-shirt!”

Final Score Prediction: Atlanta Dream 86, Connecticut Sun 75. The Sun will score exactly 15 points in the 4th quarter. Take the Under.
