Portland Trail Blazers vs Oklahoma City Thunder Final Score & Over/Under Result — Dec 31, 2025

A 232.5 market total looked aggressive from the opening tip. Oklahoma City and Portland combined for 68 points in the first quarter—a brisk pace that suggested the over might be in play—but the scoring decelerated sharply over the next three quarters, with the second half combining for just 91 points across 48 minutes. The game settled at 219, landing 13.5 points under the total. DAGGER leaned under, and it cashed.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander led Oklahoma City to a 124–95 victory with 30 points, 2 rebounds, and 6 assists, while Ajay Mitchell added 17 points and 6 rebounds and Isaiah Joe chipped in 15 points. Portland's offensive burden fell to Sidy Cissoko (19 points), Deni Avdija (17 points, 7 rebounds, 7 assists), and Shaedon Sharpe (14 points). The Thunder's 38-point opening quarter gave them early control, and despite Portland's 30-point response, Oklahoma City's defense tightened progressively. The combined 60 points in the second quarter, 47 in the third, and 44 in the fourth reflected a steady decline in pace and efficiency—the hallmark of an under that was always going to require both teams to cool considerably from their season-long scoring rates.
