Golden State Valkyries vs Minnesota Lynx Final Score & Over/Under Result — Jun 4, 2026

Olivia Miles erupted for 28 points and 7 assists as Minnesota held off Golden State in a back-and-forth affair that pushed well past the market total. The Lynx entered this matchup averaging 89.1 points per game over their last ten, while the Valkyries sat at 85.5—a modest spread that belied a tightly contested game. The two teams traded scoring runs across four evenly paced quarters, with the second quarter emerging as the offensive high-water mark at 46 combined points. Minnesota's 24-point second quarter gave it breathing room, though Golden State's Cecilia Zandalasini (18 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists), Janelle Salaun (17 points, 5 rebounds), and Tiffany Hayes (15 points, 5 rebounds) kept the Valkyries within striking distance throughout.

The first half totaled 86 combined points; the second half matched that almost exactly at 85, as both offenses cooled slightly after the Q2 spike. Minnesota's supporting cast—Courtney Williams with 17 points and 7 rebounds, plus Kayla McBride's 14 points and team-leading 8 rebounds—supplied the depth needed to withstand Golden State's balanced attack. The final combined score of 171 landed 3.5 points over the 167.5 market total, punishing bettors who leaned under. DAGGER's pregame call for an under missed, as did its live adjustment, a rare miss in a game where neither offense truly exploded but consistent scoring in Q1, Q2, and Q3 proved just enough to clear the number.
