Dallas Mavericks vs Portland Trail Blazers Final Score & Over/Under Result — Mar 27, 2026

A second-half collapse decided this one. After a furious first half saw Dallas and Portland combine for 107 points, the offensive pace evaporated down the stretch, with just 86 combined points in the final 24 minutes. The Mavericks claimed a 100–93 victory on the strength of an early onslaught—Q1 alone saw 54 combined points—but Portland's defense tightened considerably once the game entered the third quarter, when combined scoring dipped to 48. The fourth quarter was even more barren at 38 combined points, draining any remaining intrigue from what had been positioned as a shootout at 240.5.

Marvin Bagley III led Dallas with 26 points and 9 rebounds, while Cooper Flagg added 24 points off the bench. For Portland, Jrue Holiday paced the offense with 23 points and Deni Avdija contributed a well-rounded 20 points, 9 rebounds, and 6 assists. Yet the Blazers' recent form—averaging 118.4 points per game over their last ten—couldn't sustain momentum in a contest that fell short of expectations. The 193 combined total landed under the market by 47.5 points, a stark departure from this season's head-to-head meetings, which totaled 247 and 271 points respectively. DAGGER leaned under, and it cashed decisively.
