Sacramento Kings vs Dallas Mavericks Final Score & Over/Under Result — Feb 26, 2026

Sacramento's 130–121 road victory over Dallas came down to a high-octane first quarter that set the tone for everything that followed. The Kings and Mavericks combined for 70 points in the opening twelve minutes—a quarter so explosive it proved decisive in a game that ultimately landed well over the market total. Sacramento's 42 first-quarter points gave them early momentum, but Dallas clawed back behind Naji Marshall's 36-point, 10-rebound performance to keep the game competitive through the final buzzer.

The pace slowed considerably after that scorching start. The combined second quarter yielded just 54 points, the lowest offensive output of the night, as both teams tightened their defensive approach. Sacramento managed just 26 points in Q2 while Dallas added 28, narrowing what had been a comfortable Kings cushion. The second half proved more balanced, with Q3 combining for 64 points and Q4 for 63, but Sacramento's depth proved sufficient to hold serve. Precious Achiuwa led the Kings with 29 points and 12 rebounds, while Maxime Raynaud chipped in 22 and Daeqwon Plowden added 19. Marshall's scoring barrage—supplemented by Khris Middleton's 17 points and Brandon Williams' 16—kept Dallas within striking distance, yet couldn't overcome the deficit.

The combined 251 points crushed the pregame market total of 236.5, landing 14.5 points over. DAGGER's pregame call for an under missed as the game's explosive opening quarter proved too much for a lower total to contain.
