Miami Heat vs Boston Celtics Final Score & Over/Under Result — Dec 19, 2025

The market total of 233.5 looked vulnerable from the opening tip. Boston and Miami combined for 59 points in the first quarter—already a brisk pace—and the second quarter's 57 combined points kept the game tracking firmly toward the over. By halftime, the teams had combined for 116 points, suggesting a finish well above the closing line.

The third quarter proved decisive. Boston and Miami combined for 65 points—the game's highest-scoring frame—and the Celtics pulled ahead decisively in the fourth, outscoring Miami 37–27 to close out a 129–116 victory. The final combined total of 245 landed the game 11.5 points over the market total, despite DAGGER's pregame call for the under.

Derrick White led Boston's attack with 33 points, 5 rebounds, and 6 assists, while Jaylen Brown added 30 points, 9 rebounds, and 7 assists. Miami countered with Kel'el Ware's strong all-around performance of 24 points and 14 rebounds, but Norman Powell's 18 points and Kasparas Jakučionis's 17 points were insufficient to keep pace. The Celtics' recent form—averaging 120.9 points scored per game over their last ten—proved the difference against a Heat team that has struggled both offensively (112.1 ppg) and defensively (113.5 ppg allowed).
