Portland Trail Blazers vs Los Angeles Clippers Final Score & Over/Under Result — Mar 31, 2026

Portland won 114–104, a 10-point margin decided entirely in the opening frame. The combined 218 fell 7.5 points short of the 225.5 market total, as a blazing first quarter gave way to a grinding second half.

The Blazers and Clippers lit up the scoreboard early, combining for 65 points in Q1—the game's highest-scoring period by a wide margin. Portland's Jrue Holiday and Deni Avdija set the tone immediately, with Holiday finishing with a game-high 30 points on 6 rebounds and 2 assists, while Avdija added 28 points, 11 rebounds, and 8 assists. Los Angeles stayed close behind Kawhi Leonard's 23 points and 8 rebounds, plus Darius Garland's 20 points and 4 assists. But the second quarter proved the pivot: the combined output plummeted to just 43 points, a 22-point swing that effectively settled the game's trajectory. Portland held a decisive edge in the half, outscoring Los Angeles 62–46 through two quarters.

The second half never recovered that pace. Q3 brought 57 combined points, Q4 just 53, as both teams settled into a slower, more defensive rhythm. Toumani Camara's 17 points and 7 rebounds kept Portland's lead intact down the stretch. Brook Lopez chipped in 18 points for the Clippers, but the early-quarter deficit proved insurmountable. DAGGER leaned over the market total and missed, as the game's explosive opening couldn't sustain through four quarters.
