Minnesota Timberwolves vs Utah Jazz Final Score & Over/Under Result — Jan 20, 2026

Keyonte George's 43-point outburst carried Utah past Minnesota in a fourth-quarter shootout that blew past the market total. The Jazz guard led a 69-point final period—the game's highest-scoring quarter—as Utah pulled away for a 127-122 win. Combined points reached 249, finishing 10.5 points above the 238.5 closing line.

The first half favored neither team's rhythm. Q1 combined for 63 points as the Timberwolves' Anthony Edwards posted 38 points, 8 rebounds, and 3 assists, while George and Utah's Ace Bailey (20 pts, 5 reb) kept the Jazz competitive. The pace decelerated in Q2, with just 54 combined points split between the teams, but Minnesota entered halftime having edged a 117-point opening thirty minutes. The second half proved far more explosive. Q3 reset the scoring at 63 combined, and the fourth quarter erupted: Utah outscored Minnesota 43-26 down the stretch, powered by George's efficient scoring and Isaiah Collier's orchestration (18 pts, 10 ast). Julius Randle (19 pts, 3 ast) and Jaden McDaniels (18 pts, 6 reb, 6 ast) led Minnesota's bench contributions, but couldn't match the Jazz's closing execution.

DAGGER's pregame lean toward the under missed as Utah's balanced offensive attack—aided by Minnesota's recent struggle to contain opponents averaging 116.3 allowed per game—overwhelmed the number in the second half's 132 combined points.
