Dallas Wings vs Washington Mystics Final Score & Over/Under Result — Jul 31, 2026

Shakira Austin's 28 points and 10 rebounds carried Washington past Dallas 81–75, but the Mystics' defensive grind kept this contest well below the pregame market of 167.5. The combined 156 total landed 11.5 points under, as both teams struggled to find offensive rhythm despite the Wings' recent form suggesting a much higher-scoring affair.

The first half set a cautious tone, with 73 combined points through two quarters. Washington's defense tightened after Q2 (37 combined), holding Dallas to just 20 in the third while the Mystics added 21 of their own to build separation. Q4 became the game's most active frame at 42 combined points—a modest uptick that still couldn't overcome the sluggish opening periods. Paige Bueckers led Dallas with 23 points and 5 rebounds, while Arike Ogunbowale added 20 points on efficient scoring. Washington balanced the load through Kiki Iriafen's 22 points and 9 rebounds, supported by Sonia Citron's floor work: 16 points, 5 rebounds, and 5 assists.

DAGGER's pregame lean to the over didn't materialize, but a live call during the game cashed as the total's trajectory became clearer. The recent head-to-head between these teams—a 161-point affair back in May—suggested modest offensive potential, and that proved prescient as Washington's 81.6 scoring average per game held sway defensively.
