Seattle Storm vs Atlanta Dream Picks and Predictions August 13th 2025

Dream Seek Sixth Straight While Storm Look to Halt Skid

The Atlanta Dream (20-11) ride a five-game winning streak into Climate Pledge Arena to face the Seattle Storm (16-16) on Wednesday night. Atlanta, tied with the New York Liberty atop the Eastern Conference, has been one of the league’s hottest teams under first-year coach Karl Smesko.

Seattle, meanwhile, is desperate to snap a five-game skid — their longest since 2023 — with each loss this month coming by four points or fewer.

Key Game Information

Atlanta Dream Can Win If…

They continue their late-game dominance. Atlanta closed their win in Phoenix with an 11–4 run, showcasing their ability to finish strong.

Allisha Gray (21 PPG during the win streak) remains the offensive catalyst, while the return of Rhyne Howard — even after a frustrating, abbreviated outing Sunday — adds another scoring threat.

With a balanced attack and top-tier defense, the Dream can control the pace and pressure a struggling Storm squad.

Seattle Storm Can Win If…

They capitalize on their close-game opportunities. All five of their recent losses have been tight affairs, including Sunday’s 94–91 defeat to Los Angeles.

Brittney Sykes (20.5 PPG in two games with Seattle) has quickly become a scoring spark alongside Nneka Ogwumike (17.9 PPG) and Skylar Diggins (16.1 PPG).

If the Storm can tighten up their late-game execution, they have the firepower to hand Atlanta its first loss in nearly three weeks.
