Dallas Mavericks vs Atlanta Hawks Final Score & Over/Under Result — Mar 10, 2026

Nickeil Alexander-Walker's 29-point outburst carried Atlanta past Dallas, 124–112, in a matchup that stayed lean throughout despite an early scoring pace that suggested otherwise. The Hawks' lead scorer set the tone from the opening tip, and his efficient night helped Atlanta weather a Dallas team playing catch-up after a slow start. The combined 236 points fell 4.5 points short of the 240.5 market total—DAGGER leaned under, and it cashed.

The first quarter exploded for 66 combined points, signaling a potential high-scoring affair, but the game tightened considerably from there. The second half proved the pivot: while Q3 remained hot at 69 combined points, Q4 collapsed to just 50, as both teams managed only 29 and 21 points respectively. That late-game deceleration proved decisive for the total. Atlanta's Jalen Johnson added 27 points with 8 assists and 7 rebounds, while Onyeka Okongwu contributed 18 points and 9 boards. For Dallas, Klay Thompson led with 21 points, Cooper Flagg chipped in 14 points, 12 rebounds, and 5 assists, and Khris Middleton added 16. Dallas arrived in Atlanta struggling defensively—allowing 119.4 per game over its last ten—and never fully recovered from the early deficit. Atlanta's 118.8-point average over its recent stretch proved the difference in a game that undershot the consensus by relying on defensive tightening in the final frame.
