Portland Fire vs Indiana Fever Final Score & Over/Under Result — May 20, 2026

Indiana's defense has been stingy this season, allowing just 89.9 points per game over its last ten outings, and Portland's recent form suggested vulnerability on that end—the Fire have surrendered 92.0 per game across their last six. The Fever made that advantage matter early, building a 28-20 lead after the opening quarter's 48 combined points, the game's most explosive frame. The momentum carried into the second half, where Indiana's measured approach took hold: just 34 combined points in the third quarter left Portland trailing by double digits heading into the fourth, and a 39-point final stanza couldn't close the gap.

Indiana's depth proved decisive. Aliyah Boston anchored the Fever with 24 points and 8 rebounds, while Kelsey Mitchell added 21 points with 4 assists and Lexie Hull chipped in 16 points and 8 boards. Portland's Bridget Carleton led the Fire with 16 points and 3 rebounds, and Sug Sutton contributed 14 points with 4 assists, but the rest of the roster couldn't generate enough secondary scoring. The 90-73 final score—a combined 163 points—fell well short of the 175.5 market total, landing an even 12.5 points under. DAGGER leaned over pregame and missed as the game's defensive character and Indiana's recent form took full effect.
