Sacramento Kings vs Cleveland Cavaliers Final Score & Over/Under Result — Jan 23, 2026

Sacramento's visit to Cleveland painted a different picture than the teams' recent trajectories suggested. The Cavaliers, averaging 117.1 points scored and allowed over their last ten games, paired with the Kings—who'd been held to 111.0 per game while surrendering 114.7—seemed positioned for a lower-scoring affair. Instead, the opening quarter shattered that script: 70 combined points in Q1 alone set an aggressive tone neither defense could sustain.

The first half's 139 combined points established the game as an offensive showcase, with both teams trading buckets through Q2's 69-point combined output. Sacramento leaned on balanced scoring from Domantas Sabonis (24 points, 16 rebounds, 6 assists), Dennis Schröder (21 points, 4 assists), and DeMar DeRozan (20 points), while Cleveland countered with Donovan Mitchell's 33 points and 8 assists alongside Evan Mobley's 29 points and 13 boards. The second half deflated sharply—just 102 combined points across Q3 and Q4—as defenses tightened and fatigue set in. A stingy 46-point fourth quarter capped a game that ultimately finished 123–118 for Cleveland, with a combined total of 241 points.

That 241 crossed the market total of 233.5, landing 7.5 points over and contradicting DAGGER's pregame lean toward the under. The Kings' 118 fell just short, while Mobley added 29 points and Jaylon Tyson chipped in 17 and 7 rebounds for the hosts' narrow victory.
