Atlanta Hawks vs Toronto Raptors Final Score & Over/Under Result — Jan 3, 2026

Atlanta's offense sputtered down the stretch, but Toronto's first-half explosion proved decisive in a 134–117 victory that sailed well past the market expectation. The combined 251 points landed 18.5 above the 232.5 total, defying DAGGER's pregame lean to the under.

The Raptors came out firing in a high-volume first half, combining for 147 points across the opening 24 minutes. The second quarter was the night's most prolific, with 83 combined points fueling Toronto's early control. Brandon Ingram and RJ Barrett each scored 29 points to anchor the home offense, while Scottie Barnes added 20 points and 7 rebounds. Atlanta stayed competitive thanks to Nickeil Alexander-Walker's 31 points and Jalen Johnson's two-way impact—30 points, 7 rebounds, and 9 assists—but couldn't match Toronto's pace early.

The second half told a different story. Combined scoring cratered to 104 points across the final 24 minutes, with the fourth quarter yielding just 38 points as both teams slowed considerably. Dyson Daniels energized Atlanta's offense with 12 assists alongside 20 points, and Johnson's all-around game kept the Hawks within reach, but the damage was done. Toronto's dominant first-half performance—buoyed by two prolific quarters—separated the teams enough to hold through a defensive-minded closing half. The Raptors' early aggression overwhelmed Atlanta's recent form advantage and their defensive profile, pushing the final tally well into overland territory.
