Portland Trail Blazers vs Sacramento Kings Final Score & Over/Under Result — Jan 18, 2026

Portland's road trip to Sacramento proved far tighter than their recent head-to-head history suggested. The teams had played twice in the prior week, splitting those contests with wildly divergent totals—a 191-point slugfest on December 20th and a 267-point explosion just two days prior. This matchup landed somewhere in between, but decidedly on the defensive side: the Blazers claimed a 117–110 victory in a game that finished at 227 combined points, well beneath the 230.5 market total and vindicating DAGGER's pregame call to the under.

The first quarter was the evening's offensive showcase, both teams combining for 64 points before the pace sharply decelerated. Sacramento's 21 points in Q2 and Portland's matching 29 set the tone for a more controlled second half, where the Kings mustered just 57 points over the final 24 minutes. Deni Avdija led Portland's balanced assault with 30 points, 8 rebounds, and 8 assists, while Shaedon Sharpe added 27 points and 7 rebounds. Donovan Clingan contributed a double-double off the bench with 21 points and 17 rebounds. Sacramento's Russell Westbrook (23 pts, 7 ast) and Malik Monk (23 pts) kept the Kings competitive, but the combined scoring never recovered from the Q2 dropoff, ultimately landing 3.5 points shy of the total.
