Dallas Mavericks vs Los Angeles Clippers Final Score & Over/Under Result — Apr 7, 2026

Los Angeles held off Dallas 116-103, a 13-point victory that unfolded as a first-half shootout followed by a defensive grind. The Clippers and Mavericks combined for 120 points through two quarters, then dramatically decelerated: just 99 combined points in the second half decided the outcome.

The opening quarter set a frenetic pace, with 65 combined points in the first 12 minutes. Kawhi Leonard led the Clippers with 34 points overall, while Cooper Flagg paced Dallas with 25 points and 9 rebounds. The second quarter cooled slightly to 55 combined points, but Los Angeles maintained control. The Clippers' defense tightened after halftime, holding the teams to just 53 combined in the third and 46 in the fourth—a stark deceleration from the opening half that proved decisive. Marvin Bagley III added 21 points and 9 rebounds for Dallas, and Darius Garland chipped in 22 points for Los Angeles, but the Clippers' depth and Leonard's dominance in a slower-tempo environment sealed the win.

The final total of 219 landed just under the market of 219.5. DAGGER's pregame call for an over did not cash, and the live call also missed as scoring dried up in the second half. Head-to-head history suggested higher ceilings—the teams had combined for 269 and 260 points in previous meetings this season—but tonight's defensive second half prevented another shootout.
