Dallas Mavericks vs Philadelphia 76ers Final Score & Over/Under Result — Dec 20, 2025

Tyrese Maxey's 38 points lifted Philadelphia past Dallas in a game that defied the recent scoring trends of both teams. The 76ers entered having averaged 114.4 points per game over their last ten contests, while the Mavericks sat at 118.5—yet the two combined for 235 points, well above the 226.5 market total. DAGGER leaned under and missed as the game landed over by 8.5.

The opening quarter set the tone for an offensive showcase, with the teams combining for 71 points. Dallas kept pace early behind Anthony Davis's 24 points and 15 rebounds and Cooper Flagg's 24 points on 4 rebounds and 3 assists, but Philadelphia's firepower proved decisive. Maxey's dominant night, complemented by VJ Edgecombe's 26 points and 6 rebounds and Dominick Barlow's 21 points, kept the 76ers ahead. The second half told a different story—a 105-point combined output across 24 minutes that slowed the pace considerably. Dallas's third-quarter surge (35 combined) narrowed the gap, but Philadelphia's fourth-quarter defense (47 total points across both teams) sealed a 121–114 finish. Naji Marshall added 22 points and 9 rebounds for the visitors, but it proved insufficient to overcome Maxey's scoring barrage and the 76ers' depth.
