SEA vs ATL Dream11 Prediction WNBA Live Seattle Storm vs Atlanta Dream

SEA vs ATL Dream11: I love the WNBA and it is my favorite league. The amount of talent on display is just incredible and there is no doubt that we are in the midst of another captivating season. As the league looks to expand its reach and fight against the grain, one needs to put the biases aside and watch the amazing women at work. And so can you catch the sight of them performing tough maneuvers as the Seattle Storm host the Atlanta Dream.

The Storm has had a start-stop-start season and has five wins and five losses. They lost three out of their first four games, then had a terrific four-game winning streak but lost the last two games. In their last contest, they lost to the Sun 86:93 despite a brilliant 19 points performance by Ezi Magbebor. On the other hand, the Dream has had an inspirational start to the season, clinching seven wins in 11 games as their young players have proven to be effective. They come into this game after eking out a 75:66 win over the Fever as Nia Coffey put on a 16-point performance. Can the Storm deal with the pesky Dream defense?

WNBA Projections, Stats & Analysis

Storm needs more offensive rhythm, Dream is elite defensively

The Storm has lost the last two games and one of the major problems they have had in those contests has been their lack of offensive rhythm. The over-reliance of Breanna Stewart can hurt and despite the Storm doing well in the last game scoring-wise, they have had multiple games where their offense and defense both get ice-cold in second-half. They are ninth in terms of pace as most of their key players are older than the average age of the league, but perhaps this experience with players like Bird, Loyd, Stewart, January, Russell, Talbot, and Prince can help them.

The Dream is one of the best teams if not the best defensive team in the league. They have held opponents to around 73 points a game which makes them the best. However, they have some offensive issues and rank 11th in total points per game(75.7) despite playing with the third-fastest pace(80.7). The inclusion of young players like Rhyne Howard and Kirsty Wallace has helped whereas Erica Wheeler has brought a ton of defensive discipline. Tiffany Hayes has been ruled out indefinitely and there is no doubt that she could have been huge in this fastbreak scheme.
