LAS vs ATL Dream11 Prediction, Fantasy Basketball Tips, Starting Five, Team Details, 17 September

WNBA Playoffs remain barely a week away and there is just one Playoffs spot for the taking. In this match, Los Angeles Sparks seek a vital win against the Atlanta Dream whose Postseason hopes have been long gone. More information about LAS vs ATL Dream11 scenario will be given here.

LAS vs ATL Dream11 Prediction

Sparks score the lowest amount of points in the league at 72.3 and it is understandable since the departure of Candance Parker this season and their ace Nneka Ogwumike missing a ton of games. However, the team is well-adept at shutting down opponents with the third-best defensive rating of 99.1. The Sparks are going to face an Atlanta team that uses Courtney Williams and Tiffany Hayes largely to generate offense early into the shot-clock. This is an important game for Sparks who are fighting for the last Playoffs spot against Mystics and Liberty with Mystics sitting at a game better than the Sparks. If the Sparks lose this game then their Playoff chances will take a huge hit but if they seal off the season with two wins then they have a huge chance of advancing. Can Sykes, Nneka, Wheeler, and co. carry the momentum from the resounding win against Seattle?

LAS vs ATL Top Picks

*stats from last game*

Courtney Williams
Points: 15
Rebounds: 11
Assists: 04
PPG: 16.6        RPG: 6.8      APG: 4.2        SPG: 1.0
Williams leads the Dream in points, rebounds, and assists. Her specialty is hitting pull-up jumpers in transition, especially around the free-throw line area. She can also take it to the rack and generate driving opportunities while being a relentless dribbler. Her ability to push the ball up the floor also opens up opportunities for her teammates and she is well-adept at handing over crisp passes.

Nneka Ogwumike
Points: 17
Rebounds: 07
Assists: 00
Steals: 01
PPG: 14.3       RPG: 6.1     SPG: 1.3
The former MVP Nneka has it all in her bag. She can get in the mid-range and paint area to generate her offense while hitting shots under duress. Ogwumike knows when to release the ball and can finish over taller defenders using her power game and athleticism. She is also a superb rebounder and plays great team and individual defense.

Tiffany Hayes
Points: 31
Rebounds: 06
Assists: 03
Blocks: 01
PPG: 14.8     APG: 3.3     APG: 3.1        SPG: 1.6
Hayes is an incredible forward whose ball-handling skills are special. She has a ton of moves and a strong dribble-drive game while she can also generate steals by reading the passing lanes and go strong to the bucket on fast-break. The left-handed Forward can also shoot from the three-point line and clicked on 5/6 long-range bombs in her last game.

Erica Wheeler
Points: 17
Rebounds: 02
Assists: 04
PPG: 13.5      APG: 4.7     RPG: 3.1       SPG: 1.4
Erica is an incredibly talented ball-handler and uses between-the-legs, behind-the-back crossovers to create separation. She had Sue Bird and Seattle Storm on skates in the last game and her lovely shooting form along with nifty lay-up moves allow her to be an effective option. Wheeler can also thread tough passes and is a superb guard all-around.

Monique Billings
Points: 11
Rebounds: 05
Assists: 02
Steals: 01
Blocks: 02
PPG: 8.1    RPG: 6.4    SPG: 1.2     BPG: 1.0
Monique is a rim-runner and generates most of her offense inside. She has an athletic frame and can finish with full flair at the rim. Billings is also a tenacious rebounder while chipping in with decent defense every now and then.

Brittney Sykes
Points: 15
Rebounds: 10
Assists: 02
Steals: 01
PPG: 9.2    RPG: 4.6      SPG: 1.8
Sykes may be listed as a guard but her game resembles that of a slashing Forward. She is an athletic player and doesn’t shy away from taking some contact at the rim. Brittney is also well-adept at reading passing lanes and gets up and down on the floor at a quick rate.

Aari McDonald
Points: 06
Rebounds: 02
Assists: 06
Steals: 04
PPG: 6.4     

Tea’ Cooper
