Dallas Mavericks vs Denver Nuggets Final Score & Over/Under Result — Dec 1, 2025

The market sat at 235.5, but Dallas and Denver had other plans—at least early on. The first quarter combined for 68 points, a sluggish start that suggested a defensive grind might be brewing. The second quarter flipped that script entirely, as both teams poured in 69 combined points, pushing the first-half total to 137 and already signaling a potential push toward the over. Denver held a narrow lead after two quarters, but the third quarter proved just as prolific, with another 69 combined points, putting the game firmly on pace to exceed the opener.

Anthony Davis led Dallas with 32 points, 13 rebounds, and 4 assists, while Ryan Nembhard added 28 points and 10 assists to keep the offense flowing. Denver countered with Nikola Jokić's well-rounded 29 points, 20 rebounds, and 13 assists, and Spencer Jones's 28-point effort. The final quarter finally clamped down—just 46 combined points—but by then the damage was done. Dallas pulled out a 131–121 win, and the combined 252 landed 16.5 points over the 235.5 market total. DAGGER leaned under pregame, and it missed.
