New Orleans Pelicans vs Los Angeles Lakers Final Score & Over/Under Result — Nov 30, 2025

Austin Reaves and Luka Dončić combined for 67 points to lift the Lakers past the Pelicans 133–121, sending the game well past the market total of 228.5. The final combined score of 254 landed 25.5 points over, erasing what proved to be an overly conservative pregame number and handing DAGGER's UNDER call a loss.

The opening quarter set a frenetic pace, with 73 combined points flowing from both benches—the game's highest-scoring period. Los Angeles jumped ahead 46–27 in Q1, but New Orleans answered aggressively in the second, narrowing the gap as the two teams combined for just 61 points in Q2, reaching halftime with a combined 134 points. The Pelicans found their rhythm in Q3, scoring 35 points to LAL's 31 and creeping back into contention. Bryce McGowens (23 pts, 7 reb, 5 ast), Saddiq Bey (22 pts, 11 reb, 3 ast), and Jeremiah Fears (21 pts, 2 reb, 3 ast) kept New Orleans competitive, but Reaves' 33 points and 8 assists proved decisive down the stretch. Dončić added 34 points, 12 rebounds, and 7 assists, while Deandre Ayton chipped in 22 points and 12 rebounds. A low-scoring fourth quarter (54 combined) sealed the outcome, as LAL closed the door in a contest that defied modest pregame expectations and the teams' recent defensive form.
