Portland Trail Blazers vs Boston Celtics Final Score & Over/Under Result — Jan 26, 2026

Portland's visit to Boston came on the heels of a narrow loss earlier this season—the Blazers fell 108–114 to the Celtics on December 28th in a 222-point affair—but this matchup played out as a far more defensive grind. The combined total landed at 196, finishing 27.5 points under the 223.5 market line, a stark divergence from their recent head-to-head tenor and both teams' typical offensive output.

Boston's disciplined defense set the tone early, holding Portland to just 11 points in the first quarter while scoring 32 of their own. The Blazers answered in the second, combining for 46 points across both teams, but Boston's balanced attack—highlighted by Payton Pritchard's 23 points, Jaylen Brown's 20 points and 8 rebounds, and Derrick White's 18 points—kept the home side in control. Portland clawed back as the game wore on, outscoring Boston 28–23 in the third and 29–27 in the fourth, with Jerami Grant leading 19 points, 2 rebounds, and 3 assists alongside Toumani Camara's 18 points and 8 boards. The fourth quarter proved highest-scoring for the evening at 56 combined points, yet it arrived too late: Boston's 102–94 final margin held firm. DAGGER leaned under pregame, and it cashed decisively, as offensive rhythm never materialized despite both squads' recent 115-point pace capabilities.
