It's the final Saturday night of the regular season in the WNBA, and there are intriguing matchups on tap. The lone matchup between teams with winning records is the 24-15 New York Liberty traveling to the desert to face the 24-14 Phoenix Mercury at 10 p.m. ET on NBA TV. The other national TV game, also on NBA TV, is the Connecticut Sun hosting the Minnesota Lynx at 7 p.m. ET.

Today's WNBA pick:

Sonia Citron Under 14.5 points

Citron has averaged 17.8 points per game since the Mystics traded Brittney Sykes to the Seattle Storm, but she has a tough matchup here against a stingy Valkyries defense. In Golden State's last game, the Valkyries held Paige Bueckers to a season-low in points with nine. Within the past five games, Golden State has also limited fellow lead guards Allisha Gray (Dream) to 13 points and Ariel Atkins (Sky) to seven points. 

The Valkyries and Mystics recently played each other on Aug. 13, and Citron did score 15 points that game despite going 4-of-13 from the field (she was 6-of-6 from the free-throw line, however). But that was a game where one of the Mystics' three double-digit scorers, Shakira Austin (12.9 PPG) was out, so the offense had to rely even more on Citron. 

This total is at a rather low position of 150.5, as these are two of the slower-paced teams in the league. A slower overall pace means fewer possessions for each team, and I don't think Citron will have the shot volume or efficiency against this tough Valkyries defense in this contest to crack 15 points.
