Atlanta Hawks vs Minnesota Timberwolves Final Score & Over/Under Result — Feb 9, 2026

The market opened at 239.5, and a scorching first quarter—75 combined points—immediately signaled the over was alive. Atlanta and Minnesota combined for 137 in the first half alone, nearly matching the full pregame projection before halftime arrived. The second half cooled considerably, with just 117 combined points across the final 24 minutes, but the early burst had already cemented the outcome: Minnesota's 138-116 victory landed at 254 combined points, 14.5 points clear of the total. DAGGER leaned under, and it missed.

CJ McCollum paced Atlanta's offense with 38 points, while Nickeil Alexander-Walker added 23 points and 12 rebounds. Minnesota's Anthony Edwards answered with 30 points, 6 rebounds, and 6 assists, and Julius Randle orchestrated from the mid-post with 18 points, 12 rebounds, and 10 assists. Ayo Dosunmu contributed 21 points off the bench for the Timberwolves. Atlanta's recent form—averaging 117.0 points scored per game—suggested offensive capacity, and that paired with Minnesota's 116.1 scoring clip over the last 10 games set the stage for a moderately paced affair. Instead, the opening quarter's offensive fireworks overwhelmed the projection, turning what looked like a defensive evening into a scoring marathon.
