WNBA Projections, Stats & Analysis

Mystics has been elite on defense

While their offense has been questionable during many junctures, the Mystics’ defense has been highly impressive for most parts. If we factor in the presence of Elena Della-Donne, the team has won way more with her than without her. One of the main reasons for that is that the team’s offense look much better with her in the picture. While Cloud and Atkins have been inconsistent, Alysha Clark has been making some tough shots and getting the offense to flow. Shakira Austin needs to be more assertive and in control but the rookie has down well nonetheless. The Mystics right now may not look like a championship team but they can surprise in the Playoffs.

Dream has lost the plot

After a hot start, the Dream has lost its grip due to a large number of injuries. Seriously, their hands have been full with too many injuries and the absence of Kristy Wallace, Erica Wheeler, and Nia Coffey has broken the team on both ends. Rhyne Howard has done her bit on both ends but she can’t pull the team through. Aari McDonald has done well in the starting role whereas Ad Durr has been a big factor. But the Dream needs more on the offensive end at this point. Can they figure something out?

Expected Fantasy Points Range: 20-29
Ariel Atkins(WAS) had 15 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 steals, 1 block in the last game. Guard Ariel is a strong defender but she also provides incredible scoring and a lot of other tools. I believe she will be in 12-16 points and 4-6 rebounds range.
