Boston Celtics vs Memphis Grizzlies Final Score & Over/Under Result — Mar 20, 2026

Jaylen Brown's 30 points, 6 rebounds, and 6 assists powered Boston past Memphis 117–112, a five-point decision that left the game one bucket shy of the over. The combined 229 fell short of the 230.5 market total, cashing the under by 1.5 points—a near miss for DAGGER's pregame over call.

The third quarter proved decisive in the scoring equation. That frame produced 63 combined points, the game's highest-output quarter, pushing the halves to a 109–120 split favoring the second half. Boston's 33-point fourth-quarter output proved crucial to the margin, even as Memphis' Tyler Burton (23 points, 5 rebounds) kept the Grizzlies competitive. Ty Jerome added 16 points and 7 assists for the home side, while Luka Garza's 22 points and 7 rebounds complemented Brown's lead role for the Celtics. Payton Pritchard chipped in 19 points for Boston.

The scoreline reflected Boston's recent defensive prowess—the Celtics have allowed just 103.5 points per game over their last ten contests—even as Memphis' thin 116.7 scoring average over the same stretch showed in a low-50s combined output in both the first and second quarters (56 and 53 combined, respectively). The teams had met once before this season, with Boston winning decisively, 131–95, on a 226 combined total. This rematch stayed closer despite a similar defensive tone.
