Why this pick

Over 142.5 points is Saturday's Best Bet, Including Overtime, because the Golden State Valkyries' games this season average 158.1 points and the Atlanta Dream's average 175.2. Two teams with 37 and 36 wins project level at 80-80, and the main total in the market is set higher, at 153.5.

Golden State's defence still leaves room

The Valkyries allow 75.6 points a game, the lowest figure on either side, and score 82.5 themselves. Cut Atlanta's scoring down to that allowance, add Golden State's own average, and the figure is still 158.1, well clear of 142.5. Atlanta score 91.0 and allow 84.2, so the Dream's own games sit further out again.

Seven days off for both teams

Neither side has played since 9 and 10 October, Atlanta after three games against New York and Golden State after three against Las Vegas, and neither comes in on a back-to-back.
