Brooklyn Nets vs Washington Wizards Final Score & Over/Under Result — Jan 2, 2026

Washington's 119-99 win over Brooklyn came down to a sputtering second half, with both teams combining for just 104 points after halftime—well below the 114 scored in the opening 24 minutes. The Wizards' 20-point margin masked a game that tightened considerably as fatigue set in; the first quarter alone produced 61 combined points, but the fourth quarter yielded just 49, a dramatic 12-point swing that ultimately determined the final tally.

Brooklyn never fully threatened despite the Nets' balanced scoring attack. Day'Ron Sharpe led the way with 14 points and 9 rebounds, while Terance Mann and Ziaire Williams each added 14 points off the bench. Washington countered with Justin Champagnie's 20-point performance (7 rebounds) and Alex Sarr's 19 points and 4 assists, with CJ McCollum chipping in 17 points. The Wizards controlled the third quarter with 32 combined points—the difference-maker between two evenly paced halves. Washington came in averaging 114.9 points per game over its last 10 contests; the 119 represented a modest step up, while Brooklyn's 99 fell well short of its recent 109.8-point pace.

The combined 218 landed well under the 224.5 market total, a 6.5-point miss to the downside. DAGGER leaned under pregame, and it cashed. The second-half collapse—104 combined points across 24 minutes—proved decisive against a number that anticipated a more offensive flow.
