Minnesota Timberwolves vs Orlando Magic Final Score & Over/Under Result — Apr 8, 2026

Terrence Shannon Jr. scorched Orlando for 33 points with 5 assists, leading Minnesota's second-half surge, but the Timberwolves' offensive firepower proved insufficient against a Magic team intent on overwhelming from start to finish. Orlando's balanced attack—Paolo Banchero (20 points, 8 rebounds, 6 assists), Desmond Bane (18 points, 6 assists), and Franz Wagner (17 points)—propelled the home side to a 132–120 victory, with the combined 252 points landing comfortably over the 225.5 market total by 26.5 points.

The game's decisive run came in the third quarter, where both teams unloaded 68 combined points—the highest-scoring frame of the night. Orlando's 38-point quarter against Minnesota's 30 gave the Magic breathing room heading into the fourth. The first half had been more restrained at 116 combined points (Q1: 66, Q2: 50), but the second half erupted for 136 combined points as defenses broke down and shot quality improved. Minnesota's Jaden McDaniels added 18 points and Naz Reid chipped in 15 with 5 rebounds, but they could not match Orlando's depth or discipline. The Magic's recent form—allowing 120.8 points per game over their last ten—proved less predictive than the pace and spacing Orlando brought to this matchup. DAGGER leaned over pregame, and it cashed decisively.
