Minnesota Lynx vs Chicago Sky Final Score & Over/Under Result — May 29, 2026

Minnesota's 79-58 victory over Chicago was a thorough defensive statement, with the Lynx holding the Sky to a season-low output and the combined 137 points landing 35.5 points under the 172.5 market total. DAGGER leaned under, and it cashed decisively.

The game's trajectory told the story of divergent halves masking a deeper defensive collapse by Chicago. The first half stayed relatively compact at 63 combined points, with Minnesota's 19-point opening quarter offset by Chicago's steadier pace. But the third quarter became the fulcrum: 47 combined points in a single period, nearly matching the entire first half, as the Lynx surged to 31 points while the Sky managed just 16. That outburst—driven by Nia Coffey's 20 points, 8 rebounds and Olivia Miles's 17 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists—proved decisive. The second half combined for 74 points, but the damage was already inflicted; a fourth quarter that saw just 27 combined points sealed a plodding finish. Natasha Howard added 14 and 7 boards for Minnesota, while Kamilla Cardoso (12 points, 13 rebounds) and Skylar Diggins (12 points, 5 rebounds) led Chicago's resistance. The 21-point margin exceeded the spread of the two teams' prior meetings this season, both decided by single digits and totaling 160 and 165 respectively—a sharp departure from form that underscored Minnesota's dominance and the market's 172.5 miscalibration.
