Memphis Grizzlies vs New Orleans Pelicans Final Score & Over/Under Result — Jan 30, 2026

The first half was a shootout, but the second half decided everything. Combined scoring hit 119 points in the opening 24 minutes before collapsing to just 101 over the final two quarters, and that defensive grind—particularly a third quarter that produced only 50 combined points—sent New Orleans to a 114–106 win over Memphis and sent the total sailing under the 230.5 number. DAGGER leaned under, and it cashed by 10.5.

The Pelicans rode balanced scoring to pull away. Derik Queen led New Orleans with 22 points, 9 rebounds, and 7 assists, while Saddiq Bey added 22 points and 8 rebounds. Zion Williamson chipped in 21 points and 7 rebounds. Memphis stayed competitive through three quarters—Q1 and Q2 combined for 119 points—but could not sustain the pace. Jaren Jackson Jr. led the Grizzlies with 16 points and 9 rebounds; Cam Spencer scored 16 with 3 assists; and Cedric Coward contributed 13 points and 5 assists. The fourth quarter brought little relief, yielding just 51 combined points as both teams ran low on offensive answers.

This was New Orleans' third meeting with Memphis this season, and the recent head-to-head history had tilted toward high-scoring affairs—261, 260, and 250 combined in the previous three matchups. Tonight's 220 represented a sharp departure, underscoring how thoroughly the second-half deceleration unraveled the scoring narrative.
