Houston Rockets vs Orlando Magic Final Score & Over/Under Result — Feb 26, 2026

Houston's road victory came down to a third-quarter surge that overwhelmed Orlando's defense. The Rockets won 113–108, a 5-point margin decided by the game's most explosive quarter: Q3 combined for 65 points, with Houston outscoring the Magic 38–27 in that frame alone. That third-quarter cushion proved decisive in the final stretch, even as both teams traded baskets in the fourth (combined 60 points).

Kevin Durant led Houston's charge with 40 points, 8 rebounds, and 3 assists, while Reed Sheppard added 20 points and 4 assists off the bench. Alperen Sengun chipped in 16 points, 6 rebounds, and 5 assists. For Orlando, Desmond Bane countered with 30 points, 6 rebounds, and 4 assists, and Paolo Banchero recorded a near-triple-double of 19 points, 8 rebounds, and 9 assists. Wendell Carter Jr. contributed 16 points and 6 rebounds.

The combined total landed at 221, sailing 6.5 points over the 214.5 market line—a clean OVER that defied DAGGER's pregame lean toward the under. Orlando came in averaging 112.1 points scored and 109.5 allowed over its last ten games; Houston, 109.9 and 105.6. The two teams had met once this season, with Houston winning 117–113 on a 230-point combined night. This rematch proved similarly high-octane, with the first half combining for just 96 points before an explosive second half (125 combined) flipped the script entirely.
