My Prediction
Atlanta Dream by 18If you're one to peruse score lines, you might just sigh aloud and ask yourself what in the world is going on with the Chicago Sky. With a disappointing regular season record of 3-8 and meriting the #11 spot in the WNBA, all signs point towards a stormy season. Their saving graces come in the form of Angel Reese and Kamilla Cardoso, both of whom have been consistently delivering double-figure points per game, plus Courtney Vandersloot and Ariel Atkins, who aren't exactly slouching either.
Oh, but then we look at the Atlanta Dream and chuckle at the irony of their name. They're in a dream run this season with a regular season record of 9-4, standing confetti-ready in 4th place. Their star-studded team led by the vibrant Allisha Gray, the energetic Rhyne Howard, and the dependable Brionna Jones make them quite the buzzkill for their opponents.
Historically, these two teams have had their share of see-saw battles, but let's stick to recent history, where Atlanta has had the upper hand winning the last two encounters against Chicago, which suggests they have figured things out against the Sky.
Looking at recent results, Chicago seems to be consistently falling just short, while Atlanta has been on a hot streak, painting the court with bravura performances.
So, my friends, and I use that term loosely, in light of all these numbers and boring stats, the prediction is pretty clear.
