Washington Wizards vs Cleveland Cavaliers Final Score & Over/Under Result — Apr 12, 2026

Cleveland held off Washington 130–117, a 13-point margin that belied a closer first half and a decisive third quarter that ultimately swung the contest. The combined 247 points sailed over the 238.5 market total by 8.5, landing squarely in the over category despite preseason concerns about pace and efficiency.

The opening half was tightly contested at 120 combined points, with Cleveland's 43 first-quarter points offset by Washington's 34-point second quarter. But the third period became the game's inflection point. Cleveland and Washington combined for 74 points in that stretch—the game's highest-scoring quarter—and the Cavaliers' 34 points in Q3 vs. Washington's 40 proved the difference in momentum. Nae'Qwan Tomlin led Cleveland with 26 points, 8 rebounds, and 5 assists, while Tyrese Proctor added 22 points and 11 rebounds. For Washington, Jamir Watkins scored 24 with 4 rebounds and 3 assists; Bub Carrington chipped in 20 points alongside 9 assists. The fourth quarter cooled considerably at just 53 combined points, but by then Cleveland had established sufficient separation. DAGGER's pregame call for an under missed, but a live adjustment cashed, reflecting how the game's trajectory shifted once that high-octane third quarter unfolded.
