Atlanta Dream
Los Angeles Sparks
On September 6, 2025, at Gateway Center Arena in College Park, the Atlanta Dream will face the Los Angeles Sparks in a regular-season WNBA matchup. Let's break down the best bet for team scoring in this clash.
Atlanta Dream
Atlanta Dream are having a phenomenal season, confidently holding second place overall in the WNBA standings with a 27-14 record. They top the Eastern Conference, leading the New York Liberty by three wins. The team has already secured a playoff berth, and with three games remaining, their focus is on locking down second place and heading into the postseason with maximum momentum.
Atlanta have shown consistency in recent outings: a commanding 78-67 win over Dallas, a spectacular 93-76 road victory against Connecticut, and another triumph over the Los Angeles Sparks, 86-75. In that game, Rhyne Howard led the charge with 19 points, 4 rebounds, and 5 assists. However, Atlanta will be without one of their key players in the upcoming matchup—Allisha Gray, who is sidelined due to injury. She is the team's top scorer, averaging 18.6 points per game.
The head-to-head history also favors Atlanta: in their last six home games against the Sparks, they've celebrated victory five times, suffering just one defeat.
Los Angeles Sparks
The Los Angeles Sparks enter a decisive stretch of the season in a tough spot. They're battling for the eighth and final playoff spot and, while their chances are slim, they're still alive.
The Sparks face a daunting schedule: after Atlanta, they take on Dallas, Phoenix, and Las Vegas. Their form is shaky—just two wins in their last five games, coming against Seattle (91-85) and Washington (81-78). That's why getting a win in this upcoming game is crucial.
Kelsey Plum has been the Sparks' leader this season, averaging 19.9 points and 5.9 assists per game. But in their previous meeting with Atlanta, it was Dearica Hamby who stood out—posting 21 points, 9 rebounds, and 4 assists.
However, recent head-to-head results haven't gone the Sparks' way. They've lost each of their last five meetings with Atlanta.
