Dream vs. Sun Prediction, Spread, Over/Under – Thursday, August 13
The Dream continue to jostle with the Indiana Fever, New York Liberty, and Washington Mystics for the top spot in the Eastern Conference. Atlanta currently sits just a half-game behind the Fever for the No. 1 seed.
Atlanta had put together a five-game winning streak in late July, before alternating wins over its last four contests. However, the Dream’s offense has been nearly unstoppable lately, averaging 94.3 points per game over their last nine contests.
Guard Rhyne Howard thrived over the past three games with averages of 21.3 PPG and 5.3 APG, while shooting 51.7% from beyond the arc.
Meanwhile, the Sun are just one of two teams that have recorded single-digit wins (8) this season. As a result. Connecticut sits in last place in the Eastern Conference.
Recently, the Sun suffered a five-game losing streak for the third time in the 2026 campaign. Connecticut finally bounced back with a 75-72 win against the Mercury last Friday, which was its first victory in nearly a month’s time.
The Dream have gotten the best of the Sun recently, winning six of the last seven matchups outright. Atlanta also covered the spread in all six of those victories.
