Dallas Mavericks vs Cleveland Cavaliers Final Score & Over/Under Result — Mar 15, 2026

Cooper Flagg's all-around night—27 points, 10 assists, and 6 rebounds—powered Dallas to a 130-120 win in Cleveland, but the real story belonged to the scoreboard: the combined 250 sailed past the 234.0 market total by 16 points, an outcome that went against DAGGER's pregame UNDER call.

The game's trajectory told two tales. A blistering first half saw 119 combined points as both offenses found room early; Dallas scored 35 in Q1 alone while Cleveland answered with 31. The second quarter tightened dramatically—just 53 combined points—but the ceiling came loose in Q3, when 67 combined points flooded the floor, the game's highest-scoring frame. Naji Marshall added 25 points and 7 assists for the Mavericks, while Donovan Mitchell matched his 26 points with 11 assists for Cleveland. P.J. Washington (20 points, 11 rebounds) and Evan Mobley (18 points, 11 rebounds) anchored the glass on both ends. The fourth quarter settled at 64 combined, enough for Dallas to escape by 10.

Dallas entered on a skid—104.6 points per game over its last ten—but found offensive rhythm here. Cleveland, which had allowed just 110.9 per game recently, couldn't sustain the defense needed. A 243-point affair between these teams earlier this season now felt like ancient history; this shootout left no doubt that high-scoring basketball would prevail.
