The Atlanta Dream continue their road trip with a matchup against the Phoenix Mercury on Saturday night.

The Dream have won four of their last five games, including in Las Vegas and Los Angeles, to start this trip. Meanwhile, the Mercury have lost four of their last five games after a hot stretch.

Atlanta has dominated the Mercury recently, winning the last five meetings, including two this season.

Let’s take a look at the odds, a player prop, and my prediction for Saturday’s WNBA matchup.

Dream vs. Mercury Best WNBA Prop Bets

Dream Best WNBA Prop Bet

  • Angel Reese OVER 19.5 Points + Assists (-115)

Angel Reese had a slower start to the season but has been fairly consistent as of late. She’s gone OVER 19.5 PA in three straight games, four of five, and 11 of her last 15 contests.

Reese has scored 20 points alone in two straight games and six of her last 10, and I don’t expect her to slow down anytime soon.

Dream vs. Mercury Prediction and Pick

I also don’t expect much to change between these two teams. They have opposite records, and Atlanta has had Phoenix’s number recently.

This isn’t a big enough spread to scare me off the Dream on the road, where they’re 11-7 this season and just beat the Sparks by 36 and the Aces by 15.

Pick: Dream -5.5 (-110)
