Houston Rockets vs Dallas Mavericks Final Score & Over/Under Result — Dec 6, 2025

Anthony Davis carried Dallas to a 122–109 victory over Houston, posting 29 points and 8 rebounds to lead a Mavericks offense that finally broke through against a Rockets team riding high on offense. The combined total landed at 231, punching through the 221.5 market total by 9.5 points and delivering an OVER that DAGGER had leaned UNDER on—a miss for the model.

The game stayed tightly bunched for two quarters, with Q1 and Q2 combining for 114 points at an even clip: 55 and 59 respectively. Houston's Kevin Durant (27 points, 3 assists) and Jabari Smith Jr. (22 points, 8 rebounds) kept the Rockets competitive, but Dallas methodically built separation in the third quarter, outscoring Houston 37–20 in a pivotal 17-point swing that proved decisive. Brandon Williams added 20 points and 5 assists off the bench for the hosts, while Cooper Flagg contributed 19 points and 5 rebounds. Houston's Aaron Holiday chipped in 19 points off the bench, but it wasn't enough to overcome the third-quarter collapse.

The fourth quarter stayed spirited at 60 combined points, the game's highest-scoring quarter, but the damage was already done. Dallas's recent form (111.6 scored, 115.6 allowed per game) suggested vulnerability on both ends, yet the Mavericks' third-quarter execution proved the difference. The total's path—from 221.5 to 231—reflected steady offensive production throughout, with neither team trailing badly enough to compress scoring in the closing stretch.
