The Rockets are hosting the Thunder in Houston on Sunday. On DraftKings Sportsbook, Oklahoma City is a 1.5-point favorite and this game carries a total of 220.5 points.

Below, I have featured my favorite Jalen Green prop to consider from this contest.

Best Jalen Green Prop Bets on DraftKings Sportsbook

Jalen Green U 17.5 points (-115)

Green is coming off a season-best 41 points vs. the 76ers, but the guard should come back down to earth Sunday with the Thunder in town. Oklahoma City and Houston are the top-two teams in defensive rating this season and this should be a low-scoring affair.

The Thunder are giving up the fifth-fewest points to shooting guards and they have been especially elite on the defensive end with Isaiah Hartenstein in the lineup. The ex-Knick made his season debut four games ago and when Hartenstein has been on the floor, Oklahoma City’s defensive rating has been an incredible 95.5. For some perspective on this number, the Thunder lead the league in defensive rating this season at 102.8.

In addition to the terrible matchup, Green is shooting a career-worst 39% from the field this season and he has scored less than 18 points in nine of his last 15 starts.

Green should fall short of this 17.5-point line Sunday and needs to be attacked for this under on DraftKings Sportsbook.
