Portland Trail Blazers vs Minnesota Timberwolves Final Score & Over/Under Result — Mar 20, 2026

Jerami Grant's 26 points led a balanced Portland offensive attack that proved just enough to escape Minnesota 108-104, but the real story was what didn't happen: a second-half collapse that kept this game far below the market's expectations. The market had priced the total at 231.5, and the combined 212 landed firmly under, by 19.5 points.

The first half told a different narrative entirely. Portland and Minnesota combined for 127 points through two quarters, with Q2 particularly explosive at 66 combined points. The Timberwolves poured in 31 in the opening frame while the Blazers answered with 33, setting a frenetic pace. But the second half tightened dramatically. Q3 saw just 46 combined points, and Q4 dipped further to 39, as both offenses stalled when it mattered most. Deni Avdija chipped in 25 points and 8 rebounds for Portland, while Donovan Clingan added 21 points and 12 rebounds. For Minnesota, Rudy Gobert's 15 rebounds anchored a defense that grew increasingly stingy, though Julius Randle managed 19 points and Ayo Dosunmu added a well-rounded 17 points with 10 rebounds and 8 assists.

Portland's recent form (111.5 ppg) and Minnesota's defensive prowess (116.5 allowed per game over the last 10) suggested a tighter contest, and the second-half numbers bore that out. DAGGER leaned under, and it cashed comfortably.
