Los Angeles Sparks vs Las Vegas Aces Final Score & Over/Under Result — May 23, 2026

The market opened at 181.5, but the opener signaled trouble for unders from the jump. Las Vegas and Los Angeles combined for 62 points in a blistering first quarter, already well ahead of pace for a shootout. The Sparks and Aces would cool slightly in the second half, pairing Q2's modest 36 combined points with a balanced 47 in the third, but Q4 brought another surge at 51 combined—enough to send the final total to 196, an over by 14.5 points.

Kelsey Plum orchestrated the Sparks' upset bid with 38 points, 4 rebounds, and 9 assists, while Cameron Brink (16 points, 8 rebounds) and Dearica Hamby (16 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists) provided secondary scoring. The Aces countered through A'ja Wilson's 24 points and 15 rebounds, Chennedy Carter's 23 points, and NaLyssa Smith's 22 points and 9 rebounds, but Los Angeles' efficiency proved decisive in the 101–95 final. The Sparks had entered this matchup as clear underdogs—they'd lost to Vegas 105–78 earlier this season—yet the offensive pace of the opener set the tone for what became a higher-scoring affair than the market anticipated. DAGGER leaned under and missed.
