Washington Mystics vs Los Angeles Sparks Final Score & Over/Under Result — Aug 28, 2026

Los Angeles edged Washington 88-82, a four-point outcome that masked a back-and-forth battle decided by pace and rhythm more than dominance. The combined 170 points sailed over the 167.5 market total by 2.5, with DAGGER's pregame call cashing cleanly.

The opening quarter set a frantic tone. Los Angeles and Washington combined for 46 points in the first twelve minutes—the game's highest-scoring period—before both teams decelerated sharply. The second quarter still produced 45 combined points, keeping the first half at 91, but the third and fourth quarters turned sluggish: 42 and 37 combined points respectively. That second-half slowdown (79 combined) nearly dragged the total under, but the early pace held firm. Nneka Ogwumike paced Los Angeles with 24 points and 5 assists, while Sonia Citron led Washington's effort with 22 points and 4 assists. Shakira Austin added 19 points and 10 rebounds for the Mystics; Cameron Brink chipped in 13 points and 5 boards for the Sparks. The head-to-head history was volatile—their prior two meetings this season totaled 150 and 179—making the 170 landing a middle ground that favored the over regardless of the late-game deceleration.
