Minnesota goes at least eight deep and could stretch to 10 if Kyle Anderson and Bones Hyland are given some runway. Both Anderson and Hyland help the Timberwolves in transition, the former via quick thinking off rebounds and the latter via a general helter-skelter approach.

The best Minnesota adjustment from Game 1 should create a pathway to cash this same-game parlay that already came home once in this series.
