Sacramento Kings vs Houston Rockets Final Score & Over/Under Result — Feb 25, 2026

Houston dominated Sacramento 128–97, a 31-point rout that saw the Rockets lean on a dominant second quarter to seize control early and never look back. The combined 225 points sailed over the 222.5 market total, a 2.5-point overage that cost DAGGER's pregame UNDER call.

The game's arc was split almost evenly: the first half poured in 127 combined points, with a particularly explosive Q2 that totaled 72 points alone—Sacramento's defense fractured as Houston built its cushion. Reed Sheppard led Houston's charge with 28 points and 4 rebounds, while Alperen Sengun added 26 points, 13 rebounds, and 11 assists in a complete two-way performance. Kevin Durant chipped in 21 points and 5 assists. Sacramento stayed afloat briefly behind Russell Westbrook's 22 points, 5 rebounds, and 3 assists, along with DeMar DeRozan's 15 points and team-high 7 assists, but the offensive load never materialized into competitive volume. The second half descended into attrition: combined scoring dropped to 98 points across the final two quarters, with Q4 managing just 41 combined points. Sacramento's poor recent form—allowing 122.8 per game over its last ten—was on full display against a Houston lineup firing on all cylinders. This matchup echoed the Rockets' 121–95 win over the Kings on December 3rd, and confirmed Houston as the clear class in this season series.
