Washington Wizards vs New York Knicks Final Score & Over/Under Result — Oct 8, 2026

Anthony Davis carried Washington down the stretch with 16 points and 7 rebounds, but it wasn't enough to prevent the Knicks from stealing a defensive grind in New York. The combined 220 points landed well below the 227.5 market total, coming in 7.5 points under as both offenses sputtered after halftime. The first half was a relative shootout—the teams combined for 120 points through two quarters, with Q2 alone producing 61 combined points—but the second half told a different story. Q3 was brutally low-scoring with just 45 combined points, then Q4 ticked up slightly to 55, leaving the night's final total in underland.

Wizards guards Trae Young (15 pts, 4 ast) and Kyshawn George (12 pts, 7 reb, 5 ast) supported Davis's effort, while the Knicks leaned on balanced scoring from Josh Hart (13 pts, 6 reb), Landry Shamet (13 pts), and Jalen Brunson (13 pts, 3 ast). Washington's recent form—averaging 113.7 scored but allowing 131.8 per game over its last 10—suggested defensive exposure, yet neither team could maintain rhythm after the break. DAGGER leaned under, and it cashed with room to spare as the halves split dramatically: 120 combined in the first 24 minutes, just 100 in the final 24.
