Golden State is one win from a championship in just its second season, and it has gotten here with defense. The Valkyries held Atlanta to 62 points in Game 4 and 55 points in Game 5, and four of the five games in this series have finished under the total.
Atlanta is the home favorite facing elimination, and the Dream are the better offensive team on paper. But this series has been close and low-scoring outside of Atlanta's Game 3 blowout, and Golden State has been a strong road underdog against the spread all season.
Four and a half points, with a defense this good and a title on the line, is too many to give away. Take the points with Golden State.
