Last Game and Team Form

Connecticut Sun: Connecticut enters at 2-11. The Sun are averaging 79.2 points per game on 42.5% shooting and 26.4% from three. Opponents have continued to find efficient looks against this defense.

Top Scorers

Chicago Sky: Skylar Diggins averages 15.4 points, 3.3 rebounds and 4.6 assists. Kamilla Cardoso averages 12.9 points, 8.3 rebounds and 2.6 assists.

Connecticut Sun: Brittney Griner averages 12.1 points, 4.9 rebounds and 2.4 assists. Leila Lacan averages 11.9 points, 1.3 rebounds and 4.8 assists.

Efficiency Report

Chicago plays faster than its record suggests with an 80.9 pace, but the offensive efficiency remains an issue at 100.6. The Sky have enough size with Cardoso and Stevens to attack the glass, but turnovers and spacing are concerns with Vandersloot out.

Connecticut owns the lowest offensive rating on the slate at 95.5 and a defensive rating of 110.5. The Sun need Griner touches inside and cleaner guard play from Lacan and Rivers because their perimeter shooting has been one of the weakest profiles in the league.

Game Summary

This is a bottom-half efficiency matchup where half-court execution matters. Chicago has more offensive pop through Diggins and Cardoso, while Connecticut needs to slow the game, protect the paint and avoid live-ball turnovers. The Sky have the better scoring structure, but both teams enter with injury concerns and negative net ratings.

The Pick

Chicago Sky Offensive Rating: 100.6 | Defensive Rating: 107.5 | Net Rating: -6.9

Connecticut Sun Offensive Rating: 95.5 | Defensive Rating: 110.5 | Net Rating: -15.0

Toronto Tempo at Atlanta Dream

Game Information

Matchup: Toronto Tempo at Atlanta Dream

Date: June 22, 2026

Start Time: 7:30 PM ET

TV Network: Local Broadcasters / WNBA League Pass

Injuries

Toronto Tempo: Nyara Sabally GTD. Kiki Rice OUT. Brittney Sykes OUT.

Atlanta Dream: Brionna Jones OUT. Aaliyah Nye OUT.

Projected Lineups

Toronto Tempo: Marina Mabrey, J. Allemand, Temi Fagbenle, I. Harrison, L. Juskaite.

Atlanta Dream: Allisha Gray, Jordin Canada, Rhyne Howard, Naz Hillmon, Angel Reese.

Last Game and Team Form

Toronto Tempo: Toronto enters at 7-5. The Tempo are averaging 89.6 points per game on 43.9% shooting and 35.6% from three in the uploaded team stats.

Atlanta Dream: Atlanta enters at 6-3 in the most recently available record snapshot. The Dream average 90.2 points per game, shoot 44.6% overall and hit 34.1% from three.

Top Scorers

Toronto Tempo: Marina Mabrey averages 19.1 points, 3.3 rebounds and 3.7 assists. Brittney Sykes averages 20.1 points, 3.8 rebounds and 3.5 assists but is listed OUT.

Atlanta Dream: Allisha Gray averages 19.6 points, 3.5 rebounds and 2.1 assists. Rhyne Howard averages 19.1 points, 3.7 rebounds and 3.5 assists.

Efficiency Report

Toronto owns a strong offensive profile with a 112.4 offensive rating, but the defensive rating of 111.3 keeps games volatile. With Sykes and Rice out, the Tempo lose downhill creation and secondary ball handling, putting more usage on Mabrey and Allemand.

Atlanta’s identity is more balanced. The Dream rate at 105.5 offensively and 100.9 defensively. Their defensive efficiency, rebounding edge and wing scoring from Gray and Howard make them a difficult matchup, especially against a Toronto rotation missing key guards.

Game Summary

This matchup is about Toronto’s shot-making against Atlanta’s physical defense. Mabrey can keep the Tempo competitive with perimeter scoring, but Atlanta has the better two-way profile and a major rebounding presence with Angel Reese and Naz Hillmon. If the Dream control the glass and force Toronto into late-clock offense, Atlanta holds the cleaner efficiency path.

The Pick

Toronto Tempo Offensive Rating: 112.4 | Defensive Rating: 111.3 | Net Rating: +1.1

Atlanta Dream Offensive Rating: 105.5 | Defensive Rating: 100.9 | Net Rating: +4.6

Both teams are trending to the over. It is eight of ten overs for the Tempo. It is four straight overs for the Dream. Tempo on the road has shot 46% with 40% from three while surrendering 98 points per game along with 50.4% shooting overall. Dream at home is shooting 46.3% overall with 39% from three while allowing 35% shooting from three. Atlanta is putting up 94 points per game at home. Past five games they are allowing 91 points per game with 50% shooting with 46.2% from three. Play Toronto and Atlanta over 179.

Indiana Fever: Caitlin Clark averages 21.1 points, 4.3 rebounds and 8.1 assists. Kelsey Mitchell averages 20.8 points, 1.5 rebounds and 2.6 assists.

Efficiency Report

Phoenix plays at a 78.4 pace with a 104.2 offensive rating and 108.3 defensive rating. The Mercury have Copper’s scoring and Thomas’ playmaking, but the injury list removes spacing and guard depth.

Indiana has the stronger scoring profile with a 108.4 offensive rating and 105.2 defensive rating. The Fever are also the highest-scoring team in the uploaded team data at 92.4 points per game. The key variable is Clark’s status. If she plays, Indiana’s passing, pace and three-point volume all improve.

Game Summary

This is the most watchable game of the slate because Phoenix has veteran creation while Indiana has the higher ceiling offense. The Fever can pressure Phoenix with pace, Boston interior touches and Mitchell’s shot-making. Phoenix needs Thomas to control tempo and Copper to win her matchup on the wing.

The Pick

Phoenix Mercury Offensive Rating: 104.2 | Defensive Rating: 108.3 | Net Rating: -4.1

Indiana Fever Offensive Rating: 108.4 | Defensive Rating: 105.2 | Net Rating: +3.2

Phoenix on the road is putting up 77.9 points per game and hitting 42.6% overall. Fever is posting 98.4 points per game and hitting 47.3% overall with 36.1% from three. Indiana is in great shooting form in their past five games posting 102 points per game with 50% shooting and 40% from three. Play Indiana -6.

Seattle Storm: Natisha Hiedeman averages 15.3 points, 2.4 rebounds and 4.3 assists. Dominique Malonga averages 15.1 points, 6.4 rebounds and 1.1 assists.

Efficiency Report

Dallas has one of the best offensive profiles on the board with a 112.2 offensive rating and a 78.6 pace. The Wings protect the ball well, ranking at only 10.5 turnovers per game in the uploaded team stats, and they have multiple creators in Bueckers, Ogunbowale and Fudd.

Seattle is more defense-first with a 104.4 defensive rating, but the offensive rating of 97.2 remains a major issue. The Storm are also dealing with frontcourt and guard injuries, which limits lineup flexibility and makes late-game scoring harder.

Game Summary

Dallas brings the better shot creation, better assist profile and cleaner offensive spacing. Seattle can stay competitive if Hiedeman controls tempo and Malonga wins inside, but the Storm’s injuries and low offensive efficiency make this a difficult scoring matchup. Dallas’ ability to avoid turnovers is the key separator.

The Pick

Dallas Wings Offensive Rating: 112.2 | Defensive Rating: 107.6 | Net Rating: +4.6

Seattle Storm Offensive Rating: 97.2 | Defensive Rating: 104.4 | Net Rating: -7.2

Storm has lost ten straight but has covered five of their past seven games behind good defensive play. Wings have missed the cover in four of six with rebounding an issue. Wings on the road are allowing 91 points per game, 49% shooting along with 37% from three. They are getting outscored by 2.2 points per game on the road. Storm at home is allowing 39.9% shooting with 26.3% from three and getting outscored by 1.2 points per game. Play Seattle +9.
