Boston Celtics vs Milwaukee Bucks Final Score & Over/Under Result — Dec 11, 2025

Kyle Kuzma's 31 points and Bobby Portis Jr.'s 27 points powered Milwaukee past Boston, but it was the Celtics' collapse in the third quarter that ultimately decided the game—and sent the total sharply south of the market expectation.

The first half flew by at a frenetic pace, with a combined 127 points in the opening 24 minutes. Q1 alone produced 64 combined points, the game's highest-scoring quarter, as both teams traded buckets. Boston came out aggressive, with Jaylen Brown dropping 30 points and Jordan Walsh chipping in 20, but Milwaukee countered through Kuzma and Portis's interior dominance. The second half told a different story entirely. The third quarter bottomed out at just 40 combined points—a 24-point swing from Q1—as defensive intensity spiked and offensive rhythm evaporated. Boston managed only 13 points in that frame, effectively surrendering the contest. Q4 brought modest scoring recovery (50 combined), but it was too late: Milwaukee held on for a 116–101 victory.

DAGGER leaned under on the 222.5 pregame total, and it cashed comfortably. The final combined score of 217 landed 5.5 points below the line, driven by that severe third-quarter drought. Boston's recent form—122.1 scored per game over its last 10—proved irrelevant against Milwaukee's stingy 116.8 allowed per game average, as the Bucks' defense throttled the Celtics when it mattered most.
