Storm vs. Dream Prediction, Spread, Over/Under – Thursday, July 9
Atlanta’s losing streak began with consecutive losses at Golden State, but the low point was a 105-90 setback at Seattle on June 27.
It may have even been rock bottom for the season, as the Dream allowed the Storm to hit 14 of 23 3-point attempts. Seattle also shot 71.4% on effective field goal percentage (eFG%), the fourth-highest of any team this season.
What makes this anomaly so amusing is that Seattle averages the second-fewest points per game (80.1) and converts the second-lowest rate of field goals (42.4%) in the league.
The Dream followed that loss with a defeat at Washington, whom Atlanta beat by 32 at home earlier this year. Atlanta returned home and lost to Golden State for the third time in a 10-day span, 88-83, marking a sixth consecutive against-the-spread (ATS) loss.
The Storm dropped consecutive games to Phoenix and Portland after shocking Atlanta. However, Seattle rebounded with an 82-64 rout of a beat-up Los Angeles squad on Monday as 4.5-point road underdogs.
