Golden State Valkyries vs Los Angeles Sparks Final Score & Over/Under Result — Sep 24, 2026

Golden State's road form had been stingy all month—the Valkyries allowed just 69.2 points per game over their last ten contests—but the Los Angeles Sparks came in averaging 86.1 on the same stretch, suggesting a potential collision course. Their two prior meetings this season had produced wildly different totals: a 162-point affair in August and a 134-point defensive grind in June. This one split the difference in the most dramatic way possible.

The first half stayed measured, with a combined 61 points through two quarters. Los Angeles mounted 22 in the second to lead the score, but Golden State's 15-point opening quarter matched the Sparks' pace. Everything shifted in the second half. The third quarter exploded for 40 combined points—the highest-scoring frame of either team's recent action—and the fourth followed with an even more intense 50-point display. Kaitlyn Chen led Golden State with 18 points and 2 assists, while Veronica Burton chipped in 17 points and 5 assists. For Los Angeles, Nneka Ogwumike posted 17 points and a game-high 15 rebounds with 5 assists, and Dearica Hamby added 15 points and 6 boards. The Valkyries edged out the Sparks 76–75 in a one-point finish, with the combined total landing at 151.

The final score fell well short of the 159.5 market total, an 8.5-point UNDER. DAGGER's pregame OVER call missed, but the model's live adjustment cashed.
