Brooklyn Nets vs Cleveland Cavaliers Final Score & Over/Under Result — Feb 19, 2026

The market opened at 229.5, and the Cavaliers and Nets were headed there quickly—the first quarter combined for 50 points, a pace that would have easily cleared the number. But Cleveland's defense tightened in the second half, and Brooklyn's offense withered almost entirely in the final frame, sending the combined total to 196, a full 33.5 points under the pregame line. DAGGER leaned under, and it cashed.

The second quarter was the lone exception to the defensive drift, combining for 68 points as both offenses fired. From there, the game compressed. The third quarter yielded just 51 combined points, and the fourth—a lopsided 27 total—sealed the under. Cleveland's Donovan Mitchell paced the Cavaliers with 17 points and 5 assists, while James Harden added 16 points and 9 assists. Jarrett Allen anchored the glass with 10 rebounds and 15 points. Brooklyn's Michael Porter Jr. led the Nets with 14 points and 5 rebounds; Ochai Agbaji chipped in 13 points, and Danny Wolf's 7 assists couldn't generate enough offensive rhythm as the Nets mustered just 17 fourth-quarter points in the 112–84 defeat. The first meeting between these teams this season had soared to 255 total; this one reverted to form, a defensive grind that rewarded those fading the total.
