Boston Celtics vs Miami Heat Final Score & Over/Under Result — Jan 15, 2026

Boston's visit to Miami stayed true to the teams' recent trajectory: the Celtics, averaging 118.4 points per game over their last ten outings, held firm defensively against a Heat offense that has been scoring at a 120.5 clip. The result was a 119–114 Celtics win that landed well below the market total of 235.5, finishing at 233 combined points. DAGGER leaned under pregame, and it cashed.

The opening quarter set an aggressive tone, with 61 combined points in Q1 giving early indication the game might pace higher—yet Boston and Miami would never again match that scoring burst. The second half proved particularly subdued: combined scoring dipped to 115 points across the final 24 minutes, compared to 118 in the first half. Q4 yielded just 57 combined points as both offenses tightened. Anfernee Simons led Boston's balanced attack with 39 points, 4 rebounds, and 4 assists, while Jaylen Brown added 27 points and 7 boards. For Miami, Norman Powell notched 26 points, and Bam Adebayo delivered 22 points with 5 assists—yet the Heat's firepower proved insufficient to overcome Boston's depth, which included Sam Hauser's 17-point, 3-assist contribution off the bench.
