WAS vs ATL Dream11: The WNBA is now in its midway stages and we are going to witness the All-Star game real soon. This has been another fantastic season and the level of women’s basketball has been right up there. This means that the Playoffs will be even more thrilling, but before that the Washington Mystics and the Atlanta Dream will clash against each other.

The Mystics have been a much-improved team compared to last season and are heading to the Playoffs at this rate. They have compiled an impressive 13 wins and 10 losses record. They come into this game after losing a close OT battle to the Sun 72:74 despite a 18 points effort by Ariel Atkins. On the other hand, the Dream are a much-improved squad too and although they are not yet on Mystics’ level, they are not far away. They have 10 wins and 11 losses, coming into this game after winning against the Storm 90:76 as Cheyenne Parker marked 21 points. Can the Dream repeat such heroics against the Mystics?

Host: Atlanta Dream
Visitors: Washington Mystics
Match Timing: 7 July, @ 05:30 AM (+05:30 UTC)

WNBA Projections, Stats & Analysis

Mystics’ solid defense

The Mystics have built an elite defense. They can both lock down the perimter and also take care of the inside. Natasha Cloud and Ariel Atkins take care of the outside while Alysha Clark is a tough help defender. They have been inspired by rookie Shakira Austin but one thing is clear, this squad can’t be a Playoff team without Elena Della-Donne, they have won 10 and lost four with her while they have a losing record without her. She gives stability to an otherwise inconsistent offense as no other player has developed any sort of groove.

Dream needs more rhythm

Although the Dream has improved a lot compared to last season, they lost their way when Wallace, Wheeler, and Coffey got injured, which affected the team balance. But the team did receive a big gift back recently alongside the aforementioned players; Tiffany Hayes. Tiffany is someone who can run the floor well and can stabilize the team that missed such a player. Dream’s pace has been admirable, rookie Rhyne has been impressive but they need to improveĀ  uponĀ  a lot.
