Malik Smith predicts that the Atlanta Dream will eliminate the New York Liberty in Game 3 of their WNBA playoff semifinal series at Barclays Center. Despite New York entering the contest as 3.5-point favorites, the writer argues that Atlanta's defensive consistency and recent four-game winning streak over the Liberty make the Dream moneyline the optimal betting pick.

Smith highlights turnover struggles as New York's primary vulnerability, noting the team committed 17 turnovers in Game 2 leading directly to 28 Atlanta points.
