Portland Trail Blazers vs Chicago Bulls Final Score & Over/Under Result — Feb 26, 2026

The market total sat at 235.5, and Portland's trip to Chicago was destined to fall short from the opening tip. Both teams came out hot in the first quarter, combining for 66 points—a pace that would have easily cleared the over—but the game's trajectory shifted dramatically from there. The combined scoring dropped to 66 again in the second quarter, then cratered to 47 in the third. By the time the Trail Blazers' 121-112 victory was final, the combined 233 came in 2.5 points under the number. DAGGER leaned under, and it cashed.

Portland's defensive intensity in the third quarter—when the two teams combined for just 47 points, the game's lowest-scoring frame—proved decisive. Jerami Grant led the Blazers with 27 points, 5 rebounds, and 2 assists, while Robert Williams III contributed 14 points and a game-high 14 rebounds. Chicago kept pace early behind Matas Buzelis's 20 points and 7 rebounds and Tre Jones's 19 points, but once the pace slowed, the Bulls' recent defensive vulnerabilities (allowing 122.7 per game over their last 10) became harder to overcome. Josh Giddey chipped in 15 points, 6 rebounds, and 9 assists for Chicago.

This result followed a thrill from earlier in the season—a 122-121 Bulls victory with a 243 combined total—making the lower-scoring second meeting a sharp reversal in offensive flow.
