New Orleans Pelicans vs Milwaukee Bucks Final Score & Over/Under Result — Feb 4, 2026

The third quarter was the offensive showcase that set the tone for an overtime classic: Milwaukee and New Orleans combined for 70 points in that 12-minute stretch alone, the game's highest-scoring period and a harbinger of the scoring onslaught to follow. By halftime, the two teams had already combined for 133 points, well on pace to blow past the 223.5 market total. The Pelicans rode a dominant performance from Trey Murphy III, who posted 44 points with 6 rebounds and 6 assists, alongside Saddiq Bey's 22 points and Zion Williamson's all-around 20 points and 8 assists. Milwaukee countered with Ryan Rollins' 27 points, 4 rebounds, and 4 assists, plus Kevin Porter Jr.'s 18 points and team-high 9 assists.

The fourth quarter cooled markedly—just 53 combined points—but the damage was done. The game spilled into overtime, where both teams added 22 combined points (Milwaukee 13, New Orleans 9) before the Bucks escaped with a 141–137 victory. The final combined total of 278 demolished the pregame projection, finishing 54.5 points over the market total of 223.5. DAGGER's pregame call for an under did not hit as New Orleans and Milwaukee delivered one of the season's most explosive scoring affairs, turning what looked like a defensive evening into a track meet that required five quarters to settle.
