This is a 10* NON-CONF GOW on the Dream.

Minnesota is 26-9 and rolling through its opposition with ease right now, but I say that it finally has a bit of a mental letdown here.

Minnesota has already beaten Atlanta twice at home this year, winning and covering in the first game and "pushing" in the second on July 17th by winning 86-79 as a 7-point fav.

But with three nights off before a "cream puff" at home vs. the lowly Chicago Sky, I say the visitors get caught "looking past" their lowly opponent here.

ATL is 12-23 and fifth in the East. It's been trading wins/losses over its last five games and has been extremely competitive of late by playing B2B OT contests.

Off a 104-100 OT loss at Indiana as a 5-point dog, I think the Dream will keep tonight's contest tight as well.

I'm not ruling out a big upset here, but my official call is to grab as many points as you can with ATLANTA.

Good luck, NP
