Washington Mystics vs Indiana Fever Final Score & Over/Under Result — Sep 20, 2026

The market sat at 177.5, inviting over bettors with the promise of a shootout—but Washington's defense and Indiana's cold stretches conspired to keep the pace below the line. The Mystics dominated the first quarter's furious 53-combined-point pace, building a 16-point cushion on the strength of Kiki Iriafen's 21 points and 14 rebounds and Shakira Austin's 20 points and 10 boards. Indiana answered through Caitlin Clark's 25 points and Kelsey Mitchell's 22, but the second quarter turned into a defensive grind: only 28 combined points crossed the scoreline, the lowest of the night, as the Mystics maintained control heading into halftime with an 81-combined first half that was already tracking under.

The third quarter provided momentary relief for over-enthusiasts, exploding to 57 combined points—the game's peak—but it merely stalled the inevitable. Indiana's 31 points in the period cut the deficit, yet Washington's 26 kept them firmly in command. The fourth quarter collapsed to 32 combined points as both teams limped home, Washington closing 93–77. The final combined total of 170 fell 7.5 short of the line. DAGGER's pregame over call missed, as did its live adjustment, unable to account for how thoroughly the Mystics would contain Indiana's offense despite Clark and Mitchell's individual production.
