Team Betting Notes
Atlanta (6-7) ended a three-game skid Sunday against New York (7-7), winning 81-72 at home despite entering as a 4 1/2-point underdog. It was a rare cover for the Dream, as they're still just 2-7 ATS over their past nine outings. The 'under' has now connected in three of the past four four Atlanta and 8-3 over the past 11 outings.
The Liberty have dropped a season-high three in a row following their road loss in the ATL. After an impressive 4-0 SU/ATS streak from June 2-11, the Liberty are 1-4 SU/ATS over the past five outings.
Chicago (3-12) has dropped three in a row, and they really have bottomed out. They provided San Antonio (1-14) with their first victory of the season. For the Sky, they're 0-3 SU/ATS while losing by an average of 16.0 points per game during the span.
The Stars have been inching closer to a win lately, before finally breaking through against Chicago. While the first win came Friday, they're an impressive 3-1 ATS over the past four outings.
Connecticut (8-7) had a very successful week, topping the Seattle (7-8 ) and Indiana (7-8 ) after a loss to Los Angeles (12-3). The Sun are now an impressive 9-2 ATS over their past 11, and 11-3 ATS over their past 14. The 'over' is also a frequent result for Connecticut lately, going 8-1 over their past nine outings.
Dallas (8-9) was tripped up at home Saturday by the visiting Storm, snapping a four-game winning streak. The 'under' connected, however, and is now 4-1 over the past four for the Wings.
The Fever have been solid, yet unspectacular so far this season. They haven't won or lost more than two games in a row at any point so far. The same goes for their work against the spread. Next up for Indiana is a date with Atlanta, a team they polished off 85-74 back on June 15.
The Sparks continue to roll right along. They took care of Washington (10-6) by a 76-69 score, narrowly covering a 6 1/2-point number on Sunday. L.A. has posted a season-high nine game winning streak and they're a perfect 4-0 ATS over the past four outings. Total bettors are also a fan of the Sparks, as the 'under' is now an impressive 5-1 over their past six outings.
Minnesota (12-1) picked up a 91-83 win in Phoenix (7-6) in another high-scoring affair. The 'over' has cashed in four in a row for the Lynx, and six of the past seven overall.
The Mercury have alternated wins and losses over the past eight outings. They're not having much luck against the number, however, going 1-4 ATS over the past five outings.
