NYL vs ATL Dream11: The WNBA has reached the halfway mark and we have seen incredible battles throughout the season. The All-Star Teams are announced but more importantly, this is a time for the teams that have been off to make a big run or they lose substantial ground. This stays true for Atlanta Dream that will meet an improved New York Liberty.
The Dream started well but their season has derailed significantly since then. The seven wins four loss start has been wasted away and currently, the team is with just eight wins and eleven losses. In the last game, they had another horrendous performance, losing 74:92 to the Mystics. On the other hand, the Liberty is the opposite story, the team started with one win and seven losses but since then, they have won seven of their last ten games. In their last match-up, they defeated the Dream 89:77 as Sabrina Ionescu sprinkled 21 points. Can the Dream recover their old rhythm>

WNBA Projections, Stats & Analysis
Liberty has improved significantly
The Liberty has hit a sweet spot this month and the major reason for that has been their improved offensive balance. Marianne Johannes has given the team an additional shooting and playmaking option thus easing the burden on Ionescu. Natasha Howard has been a tad inconsistent but brings tremendous energy on the floor and has given much-needed offense inside. Sam Whitcomb, DiDi Richards, and Xu Han offer different skillsets to help out off the bench.
Dream’s offense has been underwhelming
The Dream has had a rather off time from the offensive end and unlike earlier in the season, their defensive combination has been hurt as they have been hit with multiple injuries. Rhyne Howard has been excellent on both ends but her shot selection can be a bit iffy, she is a rookie after all. Cheyenne Parker was in great rhythm earlier but she has lost her offensive spark. Durr has done a decent job but the trouble is that the team’s overall offense has no rhythm at all, and they have scored 74, 61, 77 in the last three games.
