Dream vs Wings predictions
Looking at the Atlanta Dream, it’s tough to ignore how hot their backcourt has been lately—especially after that electric 21-point performance by Jordin Canada. You get the sense she’ll keep the pedal down against Dallas, especially considering her knack for both scoring and dropping dimes (just watch her rack up assists when she’s feeling confident). Allisha Gray is another to keep an eye on; her steady average suggests she could be leading the charge in scoring once again, possibly flirting with the 20-point mark if the Wings defense gets stretched thin. And don’t sleep on Brionna Jones—she’s been owning the boards and could easily pull down double-digit rebounds if Atlanta leans on her to control the glass.
Shifting the focus to Dallas, there’s no question that Paige Bueckers is the heartbeat of this Wings lineup. She has a way of taking over games, and it wouldn’t be surprising to see her match or even outshine her season averages both in points and assists as she looks to set the tone at home. Myisha Hines-Allen might fly a bit under the radar, but don’t underestimate her presence in the paint; she’s been quietly putting together strong rebounding performances, and this could be the night she muscles her way to a double-double. With the Wings at home and hungry for a win, you have to wonder if these key players might just rise to the occasion.
As for which team pulls this one out, instincts say this matchup could be closer than the records suggest, especially with the series all tied up. But weighing Atlanta’s balanced attack and the momentum coming out of Canada’s standout night, it feels like the Dream have just a bit more firepower going their way. Dallas playing on their own court gives them a shot, no doubt, yet Atlanta's veteran edge and all-around scoring might just tip the scales in their favor. So if you’re placing bets—figuratively speaking—the Dream seem primed to pull away down the stretch.
