Las Vegas Aces vs Chicago Sky Final Score & Over/Under Result — Aug 1, 2026

A'ja Wilson's 36 points and 12 rebounds nearly carried Las Vegas past Chicago, but Sydney Taylor's 29-point night proved decisive in a defensive slog that finished well short of expectations. The Aces and Sky had combined for 206 and 188 points in their two prior meetings this season, yet this matchup landed at 167—a full 16.5 points below the 183.5 market total. DAGGER's pregame lean to the under cashed decisively.

Chicago's fourth-quarter surge, outscoring Las Vegas 29-18 in the final frame, sealed a 84–83 home victory despite the Sky trailing for much of the night. The game's pacing told the story: the first half combined for just 77 points, a sluggish start that established the tone. The second half climbed to 90 combined, with Q4's 47 points marking the game's highest-scoring quarter—yet even that late offensive push wasn't enough to approach the pregame number. Las Vegas's Jackie Young added 18 points and 11 rebounds, while NaLyssa Smith chipped in 17, but the Aces managed only 18 fourth-quarter points. For Chicago, Natasha Cloud's 11 points and 4 assists kept the offense organized down the stretch, while DiJonai Carrington contributed 10. The low-scoring affair—particularly the defensive wall erected through the third quarter's 43 combined points—vindicated the under call and undercut both teams' recent offensive averages.
