Memphis Grizzlies vs Utah Jazz Final Score & Over/Under Result — Dec 23, 2025

The market total of 242.5 set the bar low for this Memphis-Utah matchup, but the offenses had different plans. Combined scoring opened at 68 points in the first quarter—a pace that would've blown through the number if sustained. The second quarter matched that mark at 68, keeping the first half at a combined 136 points, already well above the projected 121.25 through 24 minutes.

A blistering third quarter sealed the outcome: 74 combined points sent the night's total to 210 after three periods, making the over inevitable. The fourth quarter cooled significantly at 55 combined, but the damage was done—Memphis and Utah finished at 265, a 22.5-point overage that vindicated the higher-scoring script. DAGGER leaned under and missed.

Santi Aldama carried Memphis with 37 points, 5 rebounds, and 7 assists, while Jaren Jackson Jr. added 21 points and 7 boards. Utah stayed competitive through Kyle Filipowski's 25 points and 13 rebounds and Keyonte George's 24 points, but it wasn't enough in a 137–128 final. Memphis's recent form—116.0 points scored per game over its last 10—masked an offensive ceiling that proved higher in this spot, particularly with Aldama's all-around dominance. The Grizzlies leaned on scoring depth and third-quarter execution to overcome Utah's front-court anchor in Filipowski.
