New Orleans Pelicans vs San Antonio Spurs Final Score & Over/Under Result — Jan 25, 2026

The first half dictated this one. New Orleans and San Antonio combined for 103 points through two quarters—a pace that promised a low-scoring night—before the second half slowed further to just 96 combined points. The Pelicans' 31-point second quarter powered them to a 104-95 victory, but the game never approached the 239.5 market total, landing at 199 combined for a decisive 40.5-point shortfall. DAGGER leaned under, and it cashed.

The tone was set immediately in Q1's 53 combined points, a surprisingly brisk opening that masked what would become a grinding defensive affair. San Antonio's recent form suggested slightly more offensive rhythm (111.3 per game over the last 10), while New Orleans arrived as a higher-volume scorer (114.7) but also vulnerable defensively (118.3 allowed). Yet the season series between these teams had tracked toward the high 240s—the Spurs won 135-132 and 120-116 in earlier meetings—making the depth of this under feel earned rather than fluky.

Zion Williamson and Saddiq Bey each delivered 24 points and 10 rebounds for New Orleans, while Trey Murphy III added 17 points and 9 assists to keep the offense moving. For San Antonio, Victor Wembanyama corralled 16 rebounds to lead a defense-first showing, pairing with 16 points, though Keldon Johnson (15 points) and Julian Champagnie (13 points) couldn't generate enough offensive momentum. The Pelicans' second-half execution proved the difference in a game where neither team found rhythm.
