Houston Rockets vs Sacramento Kings Final Score & Over/Under Result — Dec 21, 2025

The market had this one pegged at 222.5, but Sacramento and Houston were intent on proving the books underestimated the offensive ceiling. The first quarter alone combined for 61 points—already on pace for an over—and the second quarter exploded for 64 combined, pushing the halftime total to 125 points. At that pace, a blowout was inevitable; instead, both teams hit the brakes hard in the third and fourth quarters, combining for just 99 points in the final 24 minutes. The slowdown wasn't enough to save the under. Even with defenses tightening, the game carried to overtime at a 112–112 tie, where Sacramento ultimately prevailed 125–124 after the teams added 25 more combined points in the extra period. Final: 249, a 26.5-point overage that left DAGGER's pregame under call in the red.

Alperen Sengun led Houston with 28 points, 6 rebounds, and 3 assists, while Kevin Durant contributed 24 points, 10 rebounds, and 8 assists—nearly double-double territory—and Amen Thompson chipped in 18 points with 9 boards and 8 assists. Sacramento's DeMar DeRozan posted 27 points and 9 assists, Keegan Murray added 26 points, and Dennis Schröder anchored the backcourt with 24 points and 10 assists. Houston had beaten Sacramento 121–95 on December 3rd, a 216-total affair; this rematch was a completely different animal, a high-scoring seesaw that refused to settle until the fifth quarter.
