Cleveland Cavaliers vs Los Angeles Lakers Final Score & Over/Under Result — Mar 31, 2026

Luka Dončić's 42-point, 12-assist eruption powered the Lakers past the Cavaliers 127–113, sending the combined total to 240 and clearing the market line of 236.5 by 3.5 points. DAGGER's pregame lean to the under missed as both offenses found rhythm in the third quarter, where 75 combined points—the game's highest-scoring frame—shifted momentum decisively toward the over.

The first half stayed relatively contained at 118 combined points, with Cleveland's 34-point opening quarter matched by Los Angeles' 32. But the second quarter tightened dramatically to just 52 combined points, setting up a third-quarter explosion that broke the game open. Dončić's performance, supported by Austin Reaves' 19 points and 6 rebounds, overwhelmed a Cavaliers offense led by Jarrett Allen (18 points, 4 rebounds), James Harden (17 points, 3 assists), and Thomas Bryant (14 points, 6 rebounds). The fourth quarter cooled to 47 combined points as the outcome settled.

This matchup carried sharpened context: Cleveland had torched Los Angeles 129–99 in late January, totaling just 228 points. Tonight's 240-point finish reflected a dramatically different trajectory, with Dončić and the Lakers' depth overwhelming the Cavaliers' balanced scoring. The third-quarter surge proved the difference between a low-total defensive grind and an over-friendly showcase.
