Miami Heat vs Boston Celtics Final Score & Over/Under Result — Feb 6, 2026

Recent meetings between these teams had produced offensive fireworks—Boston and Miami combined for 233 and 245 points in their two prior matchups this season—but Wednesday's defensive grind painted a starkly different picture. The Celtics edged the Heat 98–96, combining for just 194 points, a game that landed 33.5 points under the 227.5 market total. DAGGER leaned under, and it cashed decisively.

Boston's blueprint centered on half-court defense. The Celtics scored just 15 in the first quarter before settling into a methodical rhythm, with the second quarter producing the game's highest-scoring stanza at 53 combined points. Jaylen Brown led Boston with 29 points and 7 rebounds, while Payton Pritchard added 24 points and Derrick White chipped in 21 with 5 assists. Miami countered with Andrew Wiggins's 26 points and 6 rebounds and Norman Powell's 24 points and 4 assists, yet the Heat managed only 15 combined points in the third quarter—a pivot moment that decided the outcome. Bam Adebayo contributed 16 points and 7 rebounds but lacked the spacing to unlock Miami's offense. The second half proved nearly identical to the first—97 combined points in each—as both teams ground out a low-possession affair far removed from their prior high-scoring affairs.
