Minnesota Timberwolves vs New Orleans Pelicans Final Score & Over/Under Result — Dec 4, 2025

Minnesota's visit to New Orleans followed a high-scoring head-to-head meeting earlier this season—a 291-point affair that went to the Timberwolves 149–142—yet this matchup took a decidedly slower turn. The final combined 241 points fell well short of that precedent, though it still topped the market total of 232.5 by 8.5 points, with DAGGER's pregame lean to the under ultimately missing.

The opening quarter set a frenetic pace, combining for 65 points as both teams traded buckets early. Minnesota's Julius Randle led the charge with 28 points, 9 rebounds, and 3 assists, while New Orleans countered through Trey Murphy III's 21 points and Jeremiah Fears' 20 points. But the game decelerated sharply in the third quarter, when combined scoring dipped to just 54—the lowest frame of the night—before a final-quarter surge to 63 combined points couldn't fully make up the gap. Minnesota's balanced attack, anchored by Naz Reid's 19 points and 6 assists and Rudy Gobert's 12 rebounds and 15 points, proved enough to secure the 125–116 victory. New Orleans, leaning on secondary contributors like Saddiq Bey (20 points), couldn't generate enough offensive consistency to overcome the Timberwolves' second-half edge.
