Dallas Mavericks vs Minnesota Timberwolves Final Score & Over/Under Result — Feb 20, 2026

Minnesota cruised past Dallas 122–111, an 11-point victory that unfolded as a methodical grind rather than a blowout. The combined 233 points landed well under the 239.5 market total, as DAGGER's pregame lean to the under cashed despite a hot first quarter that seemed to threaten the number early.

The opening frame set an aggressive tempo, with 65 combined points scored in Q1 alone—the game's highest-scoring quarter. From there, though, the pace cooled considerably. The teams combined for just 61 in Q2, then 58 in Q3 and 49 in Q4, painting a picture of a game that slowed as it progressed. The first half totaled 126 combined points; the second half managed only 107. Anthony Edwards led Minnesota with 40 points, while Rudy Gobert anchored the interior with 22 points and 17 rebounds. Naz Reid chipped in 21 points off the bench. Dallas got 18 points and 6 rebounds from Khris Middleton, 15 and 13 from Marvin Bagley III, and 15 points with 3 assists from Naji Marshall, but those efforts fell short against Minnesota's depth. The Timberwolves' recent form—averaging 119.5 points scored per game over their last 10—proved decisive, and the head-to-head script held: Minnesota won again, consistent with their two earlier meetings this season, both low-total affairs (223 and 216 combined).
