Cleveland Cavaliers vs Indiana Pacers Final Score & Over/Under Result — Jan 6, 2026

The third quarter proved decisive, as the teams combined for 64 points—the game's highest-scoring frame—yet Cleveland's 31-point output in that stretch gave the Cavaliers the cushion they'd need to escape with a 120–116 road victory. Indianapolis opened strong with 28 points in Q1, but Cleveland answered with 22, and the first half stayed competitive at a combined 113 points. The second half flipped the script: Q3 erupted for 64 combined points, with the Cavaliers outscoring Indiana 31–33, then both teams cooled significantly in the fourth, combining for just 59 points as Cleveland held firm down the stretch.

Darius Garland led the Cavaliers with 29 points and 6 assists, while Evan Mobley added 20 points and 5 assists, and Jarrett Allen contributed 19 points and a team-leading 12 rebounds. Pascal Siakam paced Indiana with 22 points, Jay Huff chipped in 20, and Andrew Nembhard orchestrated the offense with 11 assists. The final combined total of 236 landed one and a half points below the market of 237.5, marking another relatively tight affair between these teams—who had posted a 254-point combined total on December 1 before settling at 229 on November 21. DAGGER leaned under, and it cashed.
