New Orleans Pelicans vs Phoenix Suns Final Score & Over/Under Result — Mar 6, 2026

Devin Booker's 32-point night powered Phoenix past New Orleans in a second-half shootout that shattered the pregame total. The Suns' star led the offensive charge as the two teams combined for 234 points, landing 8.5 points over the 225.5 market total. DAGGER's OVER call cashed despite the line climbing to 228.5 at tip-off.

The game unfolded in two distinct halves. The first 24 minutes were measured affairs, with each half combining for exactly 110 points—Phoenix and New Orleans trading blows through balanced Q1 and Q2 scoring of 55 combined in each. The second half exploded, with Q3 becoming the game's pivot point: the teams combined for 63 points, the highest-scoring quarter of the night. That surge continued through Q4's 61 combined points, as the Pelicans pushed late. Trey Murphy III led New Orleans' bench production with 22 points, while Zion Williamson added 19 points and 10 rebounds. Saddiq Bey chipped in 19 points. Phoenix's Jalen Green complemented Booker's performance with 25 points, and Oso Ighodaro provided 13 points and 6 rebounds off the bench.

New Orleans' recent 118.3 scoring average proved prescient in this higher-pace environment, though Phoenix's defensive struggles—allowing 109.4 per game over the last ten—materialized in the final 24 minutes. The 118-116 decision came down to execution in a shootout that the market underestimated.
