Minnesota Timberwolves vs Portland Trail Blazers Final Score & Over/Under Result — Feb 24, 2026

Minnesota's recent dominance in the head-to-head matchup looked early like it might extend to a third straight blowout, but Portland mounted enough resistance to nearly steal a narrow road victory. The Timberwolves won 124–121, with a combined total of 245 that sailed over the 234.5 market number by 10.5 points—a miss for DAGGER's pregame UNDER call.

The third quarter proved decisive, as the teams combined for 69 points to create the game's most explosive stretch. Minnesota's first-half firepower, powered by Anthony Edwards's 34 points, 4 rebounds, and 4 assists alongside Jaden McDaniels's 29 points and 6 boards, gave the visitors a slim edge into halftime with a combined 121 points. Portland's offense kept pace through the first two quarters (combined 121 in the first half), buoyed by Jrue Holiday's 22 points, 3 rebounds, and 4 assists and Jerami Grant's 21 points and 5 rebounds. But the second half tightened considerably: just 124 combined points across the final 24 minutes—a 55-point fourth quarter alone—as Minnesota pulled away just enough to hold off a Trail Blazers team that had allowed 122.1 per game this season yet managed to stay in the fight. Donte DiVincenzo added 19 points and 4 assists for Minnesota, while Scoot Henderson chipped in 19 points, 6 rebounds, and 5 assists for Portland.
