Golden State faces the Las Vegas Aces after Veronica Burton scored 21 points in the Valkyries' 80-61 win against the Indiana Fever.

WNBA expansion teams usually don't get off to good starts, but the Golden State Valkyries are rewriting that narrative.

Heading into the match-up, the No. 6 Valkyries have a 9-7 record, and the Lynx are 15-2, a record that puts them at the top of the WNBA.

The Atlanta Dream (11-7) hosts the Golden State Valkyries (9-8), with both teams coming off losses and looking to build some momentum.

While securing a win over Caitlin Clark and the Fever was nice, Valkyries guard Veronica Burton set career milestones in the contest too.

The Valkyries aren't just racking up moral victories. They're picking up real ones and the stats say they're a serious playoff threat.
