New York Knicks vs Boston Celtics Final Score & Over/Under Result — Oct 23, 2026

Jayson Tatum's 36 points proved decisive in Boston's 107-103 win over New York, but the game itself told a story of offensive restraint that left the market scrambling. The combined total of 210 fell short of the 220.5 pregame line by 10.5 points—a decisive UNDER that caught most projections flat-footed, even as DAGGER's live call cashed.

The first half showed balanced scoring through 99 combined points, but the third quarter erupted with 57 combined points, the game's highest-scoring stretch. Boston's 33 third-quarter points and New York's 24 kept the visitors within striking distance. The fourth quarter, however, tightened considerably: just 54 combined points as both offenses sputtered down the stretch. New York's Karl-Anthony Towns (22 points, 10 rebounds, 3 assists) and OG Anunoby (20 points, 10 rebounds, 8 assists) kept the Knicks competitive despite their recent defensive struggles (114.2 allowed per game), while Miles McBride added 20 points. Boston's supporting cast—Paul George (15 points, 7 rebounds) and Neemias Queta (15 points, 6 rebounds)—helped manage the load alongside Tatum's heavy offensive night. The second half's 111 combined points slightly outpaced the first half's 99, but the closing quarter's sluggish pace ultimately sank the over.
