If a spell targets multiple things, you can’t target it with Deflection, even if all but one of those targets has become illegal.

2009-02-01wotc

If a spell targets the same player or object multiple times, you can’t target it with Deflection.

2004-10-04wotc

You can choose to make a spell on the stack target this spell (if such a target choice would be legal had the spell been cast while this spell was on the stack). The new target for the deflected spell is not chosen until this spell resolves. This spell is still on the stack when new targets are selected for the spell.
