Cleveland Cavaliers vs Philadelphia 76ers Final Score & Over/Under Result — Oct 22, 2026

The second quarter proved decisive in a defensive grind that fell well short of expectations. After an explosive opening 53 combined points, Philadelphia and Cleveland matched pace in Q2 with 61 combined, but the 76ers used that frame to build separation—outscoring the Cavaliers 27–34 to establish a lead they would not relinquish. From there, the offensive well dried up. The third quarter combined for just 58 points, and the fourth descended into a 48-point slugfest, leaving the final score at 114–106 in favor of the home side.

Donovan Mitchell carried Cleveland's offense with 32 points, 10 rebounds, and 3 assists, while Evan Mobley added 18 points and 8 boards. For Philadelphia, Tyrese Maxey matched Mitchell's 32-point output with 3 rebounds and 6 assists, and Joel Embiid chipped in 24 points and 7 rebounds. Jaylen Brown's 21 points and 8 rebounds provided complementary scoring, though neither team's defense allowed room for explosion.

The combined 220 points landed cleanly under the 236.5 market total by 16.5, sending DAGGER's pregame lean across the finish line. Both clubs have struggled to generate consistent offense over their last 10 games—Cleveland averaging 108.2 points and Philadelphia 107.7—and this matchup delivered exactly that script: a deliberate, possession-by-possession battle decided in the middle quarters, with the second half yielding just 106 combined points.
