Brooklyn Nets vs Cleveland Cavaliers Final Score & Over/Under Result — Oct 24, 2026

Michael Porter Jr. led Brooklyn's fourth-quarter surge with 28 points and 9 rebounds, but it arrived too late to prevent Cleveland's 125–121 victory. The Cavaliers held the edge through three quarters, then both teams erupted in the final frame—combining for 70 points in Q4 alone—as Brooklyn mounted a desperate comeback that fell just short. The combined total of 246 soared 17.5 points over the pregame market of 228.5, a decisive OVER that hinged entirely on that closing quarter's offensive outburst.

The game's earlier rhythm told a different story. Q1 and Q2 combined for just 122 points, a slow burn that suggested a defensive grind: 65 points in Q1, then only 57 in Q2. Q3 dipped further to 54, with Cleveland clinging to control behind Evan Mobley's all-around work (20 points, 10 rebounds, 4 assists) and Jarrett Allen's 21 points and 8 boards. But Brooklyn's depth—Julius Randle added 23 points and 5 assists, while Egor Dëmin chipped in 22 points and 6 assists—forced the issue down the stretch. Cleveland's Donovan Mitchell (22 points, 4 assists) couldn't quite seal it as the Nets pressed. DAGGER's pregame under call missed decisively, but a live adjustment paid off as the model caught the explosive Q4 when scoreboard pressure forced both benches deeper into their rotations.
