The market total sat at 250, and this Memphis-New Orleans matchup stayed remarkably tight to that number from start to finish. The first quarter combined for 57 points, a modest opening that suggested a slower pace, but the second quarter erupted for 66 combined points—the game's highest-scoring frame—pushing the halftime total to 123. That early offensive burst proved decisive in the overall shape of the game.

Ja Morant led Memphis with 35 points, while Zion Williamson matched the intensity for New Orleans with 27 points, 9 rebounds, and 5 assists. The third quarter tightened considerably, combining for just 63 points as both teams' defenses stiffened, before a balanced fourth-quarter effort (64 combined) closed out the evening. Jaren Jackson Jr. (18 points, 8 rebounds) and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (15 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists) provided secondary scoring for Memphis, while Herbert Jones and Jordan Poole added 17 points apiece for New Orleans.

The Grizzlies ultimately prevailed 128–122, with the combined total of 250 landing exactly at the market line. The game's trajectory—front-loaded scoring in the second quarter, then a pair of tighter quarters to close—made for an outcome that tracked the pregame number with precision. Memphis's 41-point third quarter proved the difference in securing the six-point win.
