Utah Jazz vs Dallas Mavericks Final Score & Over/Under Result — Jan 17, 2026

Keyonte George's 29-point, 6-assist night powered Utah's offensive punch, but the Jazz's prolific scoring wasn't enough to overcome Dallas's balance in a 138–120 loss that sent the combined total soaring to 258, well past the 240.5 market line. The game opened with a scorching 71 combined points in Q1, setting the tone for a high-octane first half that produced 130 combined points. DAGGER leaned under and missed.

Utah's Brice Sensabaugh added 25 points and 6 rebounds while Ace Bailey chipped in 18 points and 8 boards, but Dallas spread its scoring three ways: Klay Thompson finished with 23 points, Brandon Williams posted 22 points and 5 assists, and Max Christie added 22 points. The Jazz controlled the second half's opening minutes, outscoring Dallas 35–35 in the third quarter, but a balanced fourth-quarter effort by the Mavericks—32 combined points to Utah's 26—sealed the spread. The 258 final landed 17.5 points over the closing number, a sharp reversal from Utah's recent defensive struggles (allowing 128.4 per game over the last ten) and Dallas's moderate pace. Head-to-head context added volatility: the teams had posted totals of 266, 230, and 273 in their three prior meetings this season, making the 258 outcome a middle-ground finish that defied the under lean.
