NBA Same Game Parlay for Oklahoma City Thunder vs Minnesota Timberwolves Game 2

The Oklahoma City Thunder and Minnesota Timberwolves will tip-off the Game 2 of the Western Conference Finals at the Paycom Center, Oklahoma. The hosts, OKC, destroyed the visitors by 26 points in Game 1 to take a 1-0 lead in the series.

The Timberwolves coughed up a 4-point first-half lead and got outscored by 30 points in the second half. Can they bounce back in Game 2? Here is the Same Game Parlay for the match-up on BetMGM.

Anthony Edwards O 25.5 Points

Ant-Man has been slow to start multiple series. He had just 18 in Game 1, way below the projections. Apart from that, he had scored below 25 in the first game of the previous two series as well. Thus, the bookmakers have taken down the points projection for him. However, I see him going for a big night.

Julius Randle O 20.5 Points

The Timberwolves forward has been a one-man army on the offensive on many occasions. He scored 28 in Game 1 and has put up 24.3 PPG and has cleared the over projections in more than 80% of cases. I expect him to do so again.

Timberwolves O 103.5 Points

The Wolves scored just 88 points in Game 1, which was about 15 points below the projected mark. The Thunder defense showed its teeth in the second half, and Minnesota’s role players had no answer for it. But I see Ant-Man propelling them to a big scoring night here.

Why to Choose This NBA Same Game Parlay- Conclusion

These three appear safe bets for multiple reasons. Edwards has all the tools to score 25+ points as he has done numerous times this playoffs. Meanwhile, Randle has been one of the best scorers in the postseason, whereas the Timberwolves make terrific offensive adjustments after off-nights, and their bench will probably feed off Randle and Edwards.
