Denver Nuggets vs Dallas Mavericks Final Score & Over/Under Result — Jan 14, 2026

Denver's recent head-to-head dominance over Dallas didn't hold in this one, but the Nuggets still found a way out—117-109, a nine-point road win that sent the combined total to 227 and handed DAGGER an UNDER miss at 224.5.

The two teams had met twice this season with totals of 261 and 252, so expectations tilted toward a shootout. Instead, the first half largely stayed under control: combined scoring of 109 points through two quarters kept things measured, even as Denver edged out to a halftime lead. The second half was where the game shifted. A 118-point combined outburst in the final two periods—including a 61-point fourth quarter—blew past the market number and flipped the script entirely. Dallas clawed back with 31 points in the fourth, but Denver's closing strength, led by Jamal Murray's 33 points, 2 rebounds, and 5 assists, proved decisive. Aaron Gordon added 22 points and 6 rebounds; Peyton Watson chipped in 18 points and 5 boards. For Dallas, Naji Marshall's 24 points, 5 rebounds, and 3 assists paced the Mavericks, with Brandon Williams contributing 20 points and 7 rebounds. The late offensive surge—particularly Denver's efficiency down the stretch—transformed what looked like a controlled affair into a higher-volume finish than the market had anticipated.
