Storm vs Dream Odds Preview: Seattle Makes it Rain in Atlanta

Storm Spotted 7.5 Points Despite Trends

Seattle has stunk it up this season. But we won’t hold that against them because 1) it is going to draft Caitlin Clark with the first overall pick, and 2) it has been money on the betting lines. The Storm vs Dream odds give Seattle +7.5, which should be a solid line as this team is 7=2-1 against the spread (ATS) in its last 10 road games. And against Atlanta, Seattle could continue being profitable.

Keep Storming the Books

Seattle’s season was over before it started. With all the departures, fans knew this was going to be a transitory year. And this franchise will endure one terrible year to go from the Sue Bird era to the Caitlin Clark era. How fortunate! But for bettors, there has still been plenty to support for this WNBA team.

The Storm are 10-7-1 ATS as a visitor – and that’s 5-3-1 ATS versus Atlanta and the East. Jewell Loyd has put it upon herself to not just pad her scoring (24.3 points on nearly 20 shots a game), but to stick it to those poor bettors betting chalk against Seattle.

Sure, Las Vegas blew out Seattle. These Storm have covered and even upset teams headed to the WNBA playoffs. That includes Atlanta a few weeks back in a game where Loyd shot just 5-of-20 from the field.

The win over Atlanta cashed Seattle as a +185 underdog (+5.5 on the spread) and improved its record to 4-1 in its last five spreads versus the Dream. The Storm have now also won nine of its last 11 games. Even with their current moribund form, the Storm continue to own the Dream.

Thus, those who have done a little research could be licking their chops seeing these Storm vs Dream odds. Seattle is the worst WNBA team. And Atlanta is desperate to clinch a playoff spot. But sharp money could be on the dogs here.

Can the Dream Finally Clear the Skies?

Or maybe there won’t be a Storm this Tuesday. The Storm vs Dream odds not only favor Atlanta by 7.5 points, but it has a low total of 154 points. If the spread and total are dead on, Atlanta should beat Seattle 81-73. This is a game between two of the WNBA’s worst offenses in what should be another playoff-like game for the favorite.

“It was a good game because of the atmosphere and the implications,” Atlanta head coach Tanisha Wright said following their loss to the Lynx, who clinched a playoff spot with the result.

“We didn’t win it, but for us to understand, this is gonna be playoff basketball. We can go back, we can learn from it, we can look at different possessions where we didn’t get the best shot or defensively we didn’t execute the defensive scheme, different things like that and understanding how that matters within games like this.”

Now, the Dream need to handle business against Seattle. The Storm’s 96.7 offensive rating makes Atlanta’s look elite in comparison. It shouldn’t be too difficult to neutralize Loyd when she’s the only scoring threat – and an inefficient one at that.

Atlanta plays solid defense (101.8 rating), which also contributes to 16 of their past 21 games going under the total. Against Seattle, five of their last seven meetings have gone the same way.

And looking ahead to the WNBA schedule, Atlanta visits Washington next. The Mystics have a similar record and have Elena Dell Donne back. The Dream have the playoffs on their minds. Now, they need to show for it.
