Brooklyn Nets vs Atlanta Hawks Final Score & Over/Under Result — Feb 22, 2026

Atlanta's previous matchup with Brooklyn this season finished at 229, but Wednesday's rematch proved significantly more defensive. The Hawks edged the Nets 115–104 for a combined 219, landing 8.5 points below the 227.5 market total. DAGGER leaned under, and it cashed.

The opening quarter set the tone for a lower-scoring evening. Brooklyn and Atlanta combined for 62 points in Q1—the game's highest-scoring frame—but the pace decelerated sharply thereafter. The second quarter bottomed out at just 54 combined points, establishing a grinding rhythm that persisted through the finish. Atlanta's 32 points in the first quarter gave the Hawks early control, though Brooklyn stayed within reach at 30. By halftime, the combined 116 first-half points already signaled a slower burn than the season series average. The second half compressed further: Q3 yielded 60 combined points, and Q4 collapsed to 43, as both offenses sputtered down the stretch.

Jalen Johnson led Atlanta with 26 points and 12 rebounds, while Nickeil Alexander-Walker added 17 points and 6 assists. For Brooklyn, Michael Porter Jr. recorded 18 points, 7 rebounds, and 6 assists; Nic Claxton chipped in 15 points and 8 boards. The Nets' recent form—102.6 points per game over their last ten contests—aligned with their output, while Atlanta's defensive effort (118.2 allowed in that span) proved decisive in containing Brooklyn's third-quarter surge of 31 combined points. The result reflected a tighter, lower-volume affair than the two teams' October meeting.
