Dream vs Liberty predictions

Tonight's match-up features the Atlanta Dream facing off against the high-flying New York Liberty, and without Rhyne Howard, the Dream will need others to step up big time. Howard, usually leading the charge with 15.4 points per game, will leave quite the void. This puts the spotlight squarely on Tina Charles, who's been pulling down rebounds at an impressive clip. For Atlanta to stay competitive in this game, Charles will need to dominate inside and perhaps even increase her scoring output. Cheyenne Parker might also see more touches, and this could be the perfect stage for her to showcase her abilities.

On the flip side, the New York Liberty are looking as formidable as ever, with Breanna Stewart coming off a dazzling 24-point game. Expect Stewart to continue this momentum, exploiting any mismatches against the Dream's defense. Sabrina Ionescu, known for her craftiness and vision, could likely dish out a flurry of assists, especially when the defense key in on Stewart. Jonquel Jones will be another critical piece in the Liberty’s strategy, using her rebounding prowess to control the paint and add second-chance points.

Considering the current form and the available player stats, it appears the New York Liberty have the upper hand. With their impressive record and the depth of their squad, they seem well-equipped to tackle any challenges the Dream pose. Expect New Orleans Liberty to potentially extend their dominant streak, capitalizing on their home court advantage and the absence of Howard for Atlanta. Liberty fans could be in for a treat tonight as their team looks to cement their top position further in the Eastern Conference.
