New Orleans Pelicans vs Memphis Grizzlies Final Score & Over/Under Result — Jan 23, 2026

New Orleans looked to settle a recent grudge against Memphis, having lost the last two matchups by a combined three points—including a 261-point thriller just weeks prior. This rematch delivered another high-scoring affair, though the Pelicans finally broke through with a 133–127 victory and a combined 260 points that sailed well over the 240.5 market total.

The third quarter proved decisive: Memphis and New Orleans combined for 69 points in that frame alone, the game's highest-scoring period, pushing the contest into track-meet territory. New Orleans' second half was particularly explosive, outscoring Memphis 73–62 after the break, with Saddiq Bey erupting for 36 points, 4 rebounds, and 4 assists to lead the charge. Trey Murphy III added 32 points on 3 rebounds and 3 assists, while Zion Williamson contributed 24 points, 11 rebounds, and 4 assists. For Memphis, Jaren Jackson Jr. posted 26 points and 12 rebounds, and Jock Landale chipped in 24 points with 11 boards, but it wasn't enough to overcome New Orleans' offensive firepower.

DAGGER's pregame call favored the under at 240.5, but the market total proved too conservative for a Pelicans team that had shown recent offensive capabilities. The 260-point final marked the second consecutive 260-plus total between these teams this season, cementing their matchup as a high-volume scoring affair.
