Portland Trail Blazers vs New Orleans Pelicans Final Score & Over/Under Result — Nov 12, 2025

Shaedon Sharpe's 35-point eruption powered Portland past New Orleans, as the Trail Blazers' offensive firepower overwhelmed a Pelicans squad that couldn't keep pace on the scoreboard. The combined total of 242 landed just below the market line, staying under despite a second half that proved more prolific than the first—the teams combined for 126 points after halftime versus 116 in the opening 24 minutes.

The third quarter became the game's pivot point, with both offenses firing simultaneously for a combined 64 points, the game's highest-scoring frame. Deni Avdija matched Sharpe's intensity with 32 points of his own, while Jrue Holiday orchestrated with 17 points and 12 assists, as Portland built separation through that middle stretch. New Orleans mounted its own offensive response: Derik Queen (26 pts, 7 reb) and Saddiq Bey (25 pts, 6 reb) kept the Pelicans competitive, and Trey Murphy III added 22 points, but the combination never coalesced into a sustained run. Portland's closing quarter (30 combined) proved just efficient enough to seal an eight-point win at 125–117, with the fourth quarter cooling slightly from Q3's frantic pace. The second half's scoring advantage ultimately determined the outcome—a three-quarter display of offensive continuity that kept the total tethered below the pregame projection despite brisk second-half play.
