Minnesota Timberwolves vs Houston Rockets Final Score & Over/Under Result — Apr 10, 2026

Minnesota outlasted Houston 136–132 in a defensive affair that landed just barely under the market total of 268.5, with the combined 268 points marking a night when both teams tightened up considerably after a hot opening quarter.

The game's trajectory told the story: Q1 exploded for 73 combined points, but from there the offensive pace decelerated steadily. The first half totaled 142 combined points, then the second half dropped to just 126, a 16-point swing that proved decisive. Q2 managed 69 combined, Q3 slowed to 67, and Q4 limped to 59—a quarter where Minnesota's defense ultimately held firm. Amen Thompson kept Houston in it with 41 points, 9 rebounds, and 7 assists, while Kevin Durant added 33 points and 7 rebounds. For Minnesota, Terrence Shannon Jr. led with 23 points, Anthony Edwards contributed 22 points with 3 assists, and Donte DiVincenzo chipped in 18 points and 4 rebounds. Alperen Sengun's 22 points and 8 assists rounded out Houston's offensive load, but it wasn't quite enough.

This matchup had favored under-totals recently: the teams' last two head-to-head meetings came in at 218 and 215 combined points. DAGGER's pregame call on the under proved correct, cashing a four-minute decision on a market that opened at 268.5. The live call also hit, capturing how the game's second-half tempo shift—from 73 opening points to just 59 in the fourth—sealed a lower total in the final minute.
