Sacramento Kings vs Los Angeles Lakers Final Score & Over/Under Result — Mar 1, 2026

The market had this one pegged at 235.5, and the pace suggested it might stay there through the first quarter—Sacramento and Los Angeles combined for 54 points in Q1, but the scoring accelerated immediately. Q2 brought 59 combined points, keeping the game firmly on track for a high total, and Q3 matched that output at 59. The final frame hit 60 combined, the game's highest-scoring quarter, yet the cumulative damage fell short: Sacramento's 104 and Los Angeles's 128 yielded a combined 232, landing 3.5 points under the number. DAGGER leaned under, and it cashed.

The Lakers' control was evident early, scoring 36 in Q1 while holding Sacramento to 18. Luka Dončić led the offensive charge with 28 points, 5 rebounds, and 9 assists, while LeBron James added 24 points and 5 assists. Sacramento never quite recovered from that opening deficit, though Nique Clifford's 26 points, 7 rebounds, and 4 assists kept the Kings competitive. Maxime Raynaud chipped in 16 points and 13 rebounds on the glass. The second half stayed relatively even—119 combined points compared to the first half's 113—but Sacramento's recent defensive struggles (allowing 124.9 per game over its last ten) proved costly against a Lakers squad that has allowed just 113.0 nightly. Russell Westbrook contributed 14 points and 5 assists off the bench for Sacramento, but Los Angeles's depth and spacing ultimately sealed the outcome.
