Miami Heat vs New Orleans Pelicans Final Score & Over/Under Result — Feb 11, 2026

Bam Adebayo's 27 points and 14 rebounds powered Miami to a 123–111 victory over New Orleans, a result that kept the combined total needle hovering just above the chalked line. The Heat's interior presence proved decisive in the third quarter, when combined scoring peaked at 68 points—the game's most explosive stretch—helping to push the final tally to 234, a half-point over the 233.5 market total. DAGGER's pregame lean to the under came up short.

The first half moved in lockstep: New Orleans and Miami combined for 113 points across 57 per quarter (Q1) and 56 per quarter (Q2), painting a relatively balanced, moderate-pace affair. But the third quarter's surge—driven by Miami's 38-point outburst against New Orleans' 30—tilted the scales toward scoring. Adebayo's dominance in the paint was complemented by Jaime Jaquez Jr.'s 23 points and 8 rebounds, while Kel'el Ware added 16 points and 12 boards off the bench. New Orleans' Zion Williamson (25 pts, 4 reb, 3 ast) and Trey Murphy III (19 pts, 6 ast) kept the Pelicans competitive, but couldn't match Miami's depth.

The fourth quarter cooled things considerably, both teams combining for just 53 points—a stark deceleration that underscored how Q3's eruption had been the decisive moment. Miami's second consecutive road win over the Pelicans this season came down to bench reinforcement and interior control, factors that ultimately pushed the total fractionally past the line.
