Indiana Fever vs Minnesota Lynx Final Score & Over/Under Result — Aug 2, 2026

Kelsey Mitchell's 37-point outburst carried Indiana past Minnesota in a first-half shootout that ultimately fell short of the market's expectations. The Fever guard led a potent offensive display in the opening quarter, one that set the tone for a game defined by early scoring and late-game deceleration. The combined 69 points in Q1 signaled an over pace, but Minnesota's defense tightened considerably as the night progressed.

Indiana came in averaging 101.0 points per game over its last ten, and Minnesota had been allowing 87.8, yet the Lynx's defensive adjustments—and the Fever's own offensive cooling—quickly reversed the narrative. The first half combined for 117 points, but the second half managed just 91, a 26-point swing that proved decisive for the totals picture. Minnesota's Olivia Miles and Courtney Williams kept pace with 28 and 27 points respectively, while Caitlin Clark orchestrated Indiana's attack with 19 points and 10 assists. Napheesa Collier chipped in 18 points and 8 rebounds for the Lynx, who closed out the 108–100 victory.

The final combined total of 208 came in 16.5 points over the 191.5 market number, a stark miss for the pregame projection. DAGGER's initial under call didn't land, but a live adjustment caught the second-half slowdown, hitting the corrected number down the stretch.
