Philadelphia 76ers vs Minnesota Timberwolves Final Score & Over/Under Result — Feb 22, 2026

The pregame total of 239.5 looked vulnerable from the opening tip. Philadelphia's offense came out aggressive, combining with Minnesota for 61 points in the first quarter alone—a pace that, if sustained, would push the game well over the number. The Timberwolves kept pace early, but the 76ers seized control with Tyrese Maxey orchestrating the attack. Maxey finished with 39 points, 3 rebounds, and 8 assists, establishing himself as Philadelphia's engine while VJ Edgecombe added 24 points and 7 rebounds off the bench.

The first half settled into an elevated rhythm, with 126 combined points suggesting the over was in play. Minnesota's Anthony Edwards (28 points, 9 rebounds, 3 assists) and Jaden McDaniels (19 points, 6 rebounds) kept the Timberwolves competitive, but Philadelphia's depth proved too much. Quentin Grimes chipped in 19 points and 7 assists for the 76ers, while Julius Randle contributed 18 points for Minnesota. The second half told a different story: just 117 combined points across 24 minutes reflected a slower, more defensive second-half flow. Yet Philadelphia's explosive fourth quarter—41 points to Minnesota's 30—sealed a 27-point victory at 135–108. The game finished with 243 combined points, landing 3.5 points over the 239.5 market total. DAGGER leaned under and missed, as the late surge in scoring overwhelmed the projection.
