Cleveland Cavaliers vs Phoenix Suns Final Score & Over/Under Result — Jan 30, 2026

Cleveland came into Phoenix riding a 119.1-point scoring pace over its last ten games, but the Suns' defense—allowing just 107.3 per game in that span—figured to provide a sterner test. The Cavaliers had also beaten Phoenix 129–113 earlier this season, a matchup that totaled 242. This rematch opened at 221.5 and seemed poised for another defensive grind, yet the second half erupted in scoring that neither team's recent form predicted.

The first half lived down to the total's implication: combined 99 points through two quarters suggested a slugfest. Phoenix led 52–47 at halftime, with neither offense gaining traction. The script flipped dramatically after intermission. The third quarter alone produced 77 combined points—a third of the game's entire output—as both teams abandoned caution. Dillon Brooks carried Phoenix with 27 points, while Cleveland's De'Andre Hunter (17 points), Jaylon Tyson (16 points, 4 rebounds), and Donovan Mitchell (16 points, 6 assists) kept pace. Jordan Goodwin and Collin Gillespie added 17 and 16 points, respectively, for the Suns.

Phoenix ultimately prevailed 126–113, combining for 239 points—a decisive 17.5-point overage of the market total. DAGGER leaned under pregame and missed as the third-quarter explosion proved too much to overcome. The second-half surge of 140 combined points shattered any chance the early defensive lull would hold sway over the full game.
