Dream vs. Mystics Prediction, Spread, Over/Under – Thursday, July 2
The Dream left Atlanta with a strong 12-4 mark after beating Toronto on June 22. However, Atlanta was tripped up twice at Golden State, then allowed its most points all season to a 5-15 Seattle squad.
The Storm knocked down an incredible 14 of 23 3-point attempts on Sunday against the Dream while converting 71.4% on effective field goal percentage (eFG%), according to WNBA.com.
Atlanta’s defense has allowed four opponents to shoot at least 60% on eFG% this season. After doing so, the Dream have won the next game in the first three opportunities and twice yielded a 52.7% eFG% or lower.
The Mystics bounced back from their worst offensive performance of the season (57 points) against Connecticut to score 124 in their first-ever matchup with Portland. The overtimes boosted the point total, but Washington posted 87 points in regulation and hit at least 10 3-pointers for the first time in 2026.
Washington leading scorer G Sonia Citron is questionable with a knee injury coming off her season-high 32-point performance.
