The Atlanta Dream lost by double digits to the Indiana Fever on the road in their last game out, but they’ll look to get back on track when they return home to face the Washington Mystics.

Shakira Austin is enjoying a career season as a scorer and rebounder, and my Mystics vs. Dream predictions expect her to have another big game.
Read my WNBA picks to see why I’m betting the Over on Austin’s combo line and why I expect she and Kiki Iriafen to limit Angel Reese on the glass and keep this game within striking distance on Saturday, June 6.
Mystics vs Dream prediction
Mystics vs Dream best bet: Shakira Austin Over 22.5 points + rebounds (-120)
Shakira Austin is averaging a career-high 25.7 points + rebounds, and she’s gone for 23+ six times.
Austin is a traditional big who does her damage down low, and she ranks fourth in the WNBA with 10.8 points in the paint. The Atlanta Dream have surrendered the sixth-most PITP, setting Austin up nicely on offense.

Atlanta has struggled with bigs who can score and rebound, as they gave up 19/7 to Aliyah Boston and 20/13 to Aneesah Morrow across their last two outings. Austin should easily cash this line, and I’ll bet it up to 25.5.

COVERS INTEL:
Austin ranks fourth among players with at least 25 minutes per game with a 25.2 defensive rebound percentage. She should see heavy minutes as she does battle with Angel Reese, leading to more scoring and rebounding opportunities.
Mystics vs Dream same-game parlay
The Washington Mystics can control the pace and limit second-chance opportunities and points in the paint, areas in which Atlanta’s offense thrives. The Mystics have allowed the third-fewest PITP and grabbed the fourth-most defensive rebounds. I’ll bet this one down to +8.

Angel Reese gets a tough test against Austin and Kiki Iriafen, who both rank in the Top 8 in total rebounds and Top 4 in defensive rebounds. Nearly half of Reese’s rebounds come on the offensive glass, where Austin and Iriafen can limit her and drive down this line, which is bet-able to 10.5.
