Though the Dream raced out to a big lead in game one, the Wings were able to battle back to win the series opener.

Comeback Puts Wings in Control of Odds
Although the Dream had a 20-point lead on Dallas early in the second quarter, the Wings used strong offense to bounce back and get the opening win.
The Wings were able to tie it up by halftime and eventually take the lead and the win behind a strong performance from their leaders in Satou Sabally, Arike Ogunbowale and Teaira McCowan.

The game was the second in a row in which Dallas scored 94 points on Atlanta, shooting 48.6% as a team, and the Wings should be due for another strong offensive performance for those making WNBA picks.
Dream Shaky Pick to Slow Wings
Despite getting out to a hot start, taking a 15-point lead after the first quarter and building it to 20 in the second, Atlanta couldn’t hold off the Wings.
The Dream’s offense remained solid, scoring 82 points on 48.1% shooting from beyond the arc. However, their defense didn’t do enough to slow the Wings.
Atlanta was led by Rhyne Howard, who scored 36 points in her postseason debut on 8-of-15 shooting from three, while Allisha Gray added 21 points as well.
The Dream had one of their better offensive performances of late, but their defense will have to play better to be a solid WNBA betting pick against Dallas.

With WNBA betting lines having the Wings (-6½) as a heavier favorite once again in game two at home, there’s more value for bettors to look at betting the spread or total.

The Wings continued their strong offense from the regular season behind a trio of scorers led by Sabally. They should be able to score at a strong clip once more after finishing the season on a hot shooting streak as well. They shot 52.7% in their last three games.
The Dream and Wings hit the over in their first game of the playoffs and they should do so once more in game two.
