Dallas Mavericks vs Los Angeles Lakers Final Score & Over/Under Result — Nov 28, 2025

Austin Reaves erupted for 38 points to lead the Lakers past Dallas, though the night belonged entirely to the over as both teams combined for 248—a full 15.5 points above the 232.5 market total. DAGGER leaned under and missed decisively.

The second quarter proved the turning point: a combined 72 points transformed what had been a tight opening half (50 combined in Q1) into a scorefest. By intermission, the two teams had combined for 122 points, already signaling an elevated pace. Luka Dončić answered with 35 points and 11 assists for Dallas, while Reaves' offensive clinic and Deandre Ayton's contribution of 17 points and 8 rebounds kept Los Angeles ahead. The Mavericks clawed back behind P.J. Washington's 22 points and 9 rebounds, and Ryan Nembhard's 17 points and 4 assists, but couldn't overcome the early deficit. A 70-point third quarter kept the game within reach before a quieter fourth quarter (56 combined) sealed the outcome at 129–119.

The Lakers' recent form—averaging 117.6 points scored over their last ten games—proved decisive against a Dallas team allowing 116.6 per game. The second half combined for 126 points to the first's 122, sustaining the elevated total throughout. Reaves' scoring barrage and a relentless pace overwhelmed the under thesis.
