Golden State Looks to Continue an Impressive Start

The Valkyries enter this contest with a strong 10-6 record and a 3-3 mark on the road. Golden State has won four of its last five games despite falling 81-75 to Minnesota in its most recent outing. Prior to that defeat, the Valkyries earned victories over Dallas, Los Angeles, Seattle, and Phoenix.

The most impressive aspect of Golden State's profile is its defensive consistency. Allowing only 78.6 points per game gives the Valkyries one of the better scoring margins in this matchup. Their ability to limit opponents has helped offset a field-goal percentage that trails Las Vegas.
