The New Orleans Pelicans fell to the Houston Rockets in their last matchup on Thursday night, but they’re seeking revenge in tonight’s rematch. After posting a 20-point, 10-rebound double-double in that previous contest, Zion Williamson is in line for another solid performance on Saturday.
Here’s the top Zion player props on DraftKings Sportsbook ahead of the 7 p.m. EST tip-off.
Best Zion Williamson prop bets on DraftKings Sportsbook
Williamson’s prop lines on DraftKings Sportsbook for tonight are set at 22.5 points, 6.5 rebounds, and 5.5 assists. His PTS + REB + AST O/U is 35.5.
The Pelicans have really struggled due to injuries this season, and they’re likely outmatched against a Rockets team on track to make the playoffs for the first time since the 2020 NBA bubble postseason. Still, Houston has suffered from some consistency woes over the last few weeks and could be vulnerable, or at least allow Zion to put up big numbers.
Williamson’s rebounding line could be a sneaky-good pick tonight. The Rockets rebound the ball incredibly well thanks to contributions from Alperen Sengun, Amen Thompson, and a handful of other great board-crashers. Still, someone has to crash the glass for New Orleans, and Williamson has gone over this 6.5-rebound line in four of his seven games since the All-Star break. With a hit rate of 14/25 this season, the over provides nice value at +105 odds.
The over on Zion’s 22.5 points line is also an attractive option at -120 odds. He averages 24.6 points per game and has exceeded his betting line in 14 of 25 outings this season. Houston’s defense is strong, but seeing as Zion is the Pelicans’ primary option on offense, he’s a good bet to go over this mark as he has in four of his last five games. The biggest threat to miss it? His limited minutes, though he actually has crossed the 30-minute mark a couple of times over the last two weeks.
