Dallas Mavericks vs Memphis Grizzlies Final Score & Over/Under Result — Mar 12, 2026

The second quarter proved decisive in Dallas's 120–112 road win over Memphis, as the two teams combined for 63 points in that frame—the game's highest-scoring period—to build a first-half combined total of 119. The Mavericks' 31-point second quarter gave them critical momentum, though the Grizzlies answered with 32 points of their own to keep pace. From there, the third quarter's combined 51 points represented a sharp defensive clamp; both offenses cooled noticeably as the two sides managed just 30 and 21 points respectively. Memphis trailed by just three entering the fourth, but Dallas reasserted control with 34 fourth-quarter points to Memphis's 28, sealing a 232 combined total that fell short of the 236.5 market line.

Khris Middleton carried the offensive load for Dallas with 35 points, while Daniel Gafford provided elite rim presence with 22 points and 14 rebounds. Memphis's Jaylen Wells (23 pts) and GG Jackson (20 pts) kept the Grizzlies competitive, though Javon Small's 9 assists couldn't generate enough scoring volume. The outcome capped a season series where these teams had alternated victories; the Grizzlies' prior wins featured higher combined scoring (124–105 and 104–118), while today's defensive third quarter dampened the total. DAGGER leaned over on the pregame, but the game landed under by 4.5 as the line had climbed to 238.5 by tip-off.
