The Golden State Warriors and Minnesota Timberwolves face off again this Thursday for Game 2 of their series.
I've assembled a same-game parlay that pays out over 3-to-1, with one play on the side and two player props.

NBA Same Game Parlay for Thursday, May 8
- Timberwolves -10.5
- Jimmy Butler 20+ Points
- Julius Randle Under 19.5 Points
Parlay Payout: +345 (Fanatics)
Timberwolves -10.5
Warriors vs Timberwolves, 9:30 p.m. ET
I'm backing the home favorite in Game 2.
Golden State's offense has stuttered a bit in the playoffs, and the injury to Stephen Curry will make things much tougher.
I suspect Minnesota bounces back from its pitiful Game 1 performance and pieces together a statement win over the shorthanded Warriors.
Pick: Timberwolves -10.5
Jimmy Butler 20+ Points
Warriors vs Timberwolves, 9:30 p.m. ET
The veteran wing is in a strong spot to hit the 20-point mark because of the Curry injury.
Jimmy Butler should be Golden State's No. 1 scoring option in Game 2 and see plenty of shot attempts and scoring volume.
For what it's worth, he's hit the 20-point mark in three straight games.
Pick: Jimmy Butler 20+ Points
Julius Randle Under 19.5 Points
Warriors vs Timberwolves, 9:30 p.m. ET
The pace of this game should be slower, as both teams have played mostly lower-scoring games during the postseason.
That slower tempo should keep Julius Randle from getting too many opportunities in Game 2.
Minnesota is very well-balanced in the scoring department, which should also help keep scoring attempts away from Randle.
Our Action PRO Model projects Randle for only 17.2 points on Thursday, giving us plenty of edge on the Under 19.5 available at Fanatics.
