WAS vs ATL Dream11 Prediction WNBA Live Fantasy Basketball Dream11 Team, Top Picks and Tips for Washington Mystics vs Atlanta Dream

WAS vs ATL Dream11: I love the WNBA, I follow it religiously and have immense respect for the athletes that have made it to the pro level. It isn’t easy getting a contract in the WNBA where teams are fewer than in the NBA and you can get cut if you are a mid-tier player and have done well. Anyway, more about that later, let us jump into the game between the Washington Mystics and the Atlanta Dream.

The Mystics have won four games and lost one. They defeated the Wings 84:68 as rookie Shakira Austin compiled 20 points and made a two-way impact. On the other hand, the Dream defeated the Fever 101:79 as rookie Rhyne Howard splashed in 19 points and the team overall had a balanced effort. Can rookie once again lead the Dream to another win?

NBA Projections, Stats & Analysis

Howard has sparked the Dream, Mystics have been great too

Rookie Guard Rhyne Howard has been a huge difference-maker on both ends of the floor for the Dream and her immense nights have been the major reason why the Dream has had such a promising start. Cheyyene Parker has also shown a bunch of moves and Wheeler, Coffey, Wallace, and McDonald have also been impressive around Howard. With Howard running the show, the Dream can end up earning a deep Postseason run.,

The Mystics are emerging as a terrific half-court team and they have been able to find multiple options that have clicked. Elena Dolle-Donne who will not probably play here has been a huge factor but the team has been doing a great job of not just depending on one player. In the last game, Shakira Austin changed the dynamics when she entered the game as her team was done and if she learns to co-exist alongside main options like Myisha Hines-Allen, Natasha Cloud, Machida, and Walker-Kimbrough, the Mystics can be a force.
