Two of the Western Conference’s top squads do battle tonight at 10 p.m. EST when the Los Angeles Lakers host the Houston Rockets. While Luka Doncic and LeBron James are one of the NBA’s most formidable duos, but the upstart Rockets look to cement their grasp on the West’s second seed in this matchup between contenders.
Here’s the top Alperen Sengun prop bets on DraftKings Sportsbook for Rockets at Lakers tonight.
Best Alperen Sengun prop bets on DraftKings Sportsbook
Sengun’s prop lines on DraftKings Sportsbook for tonight are listed at 19.5 points, 10.5 rebounds, and 4.5 assists. His PTS + REB + AST O/U sits at 34.5.
The Rockets are +140 Moneyline underdogs in this one, while the game total is 224 points. The Lakers defense ranks 17th in the NBA since All-Star break, though allow the ninth-fewest opponent points per game. Despite the star power involved, especially on the Lakers’ roster, this could be a low-scoring defensive battle as the Rockets’ defense ranks top-six in both DRTG and points per game allowed.
As far as Sengun’s prop bets are concerned, over 10.5 rebounds is an appealing pick for tonight’s game at +100 odds. This line is actually identical to the All-Star center’s season average, but the matchup is a positive one for Sengun and the rest of the Rockets’ rebounders. Houston boasts a league-best average of over 50 boards per game, while the Lakers rank among the middle of the pack at 15th since the All-Star break. While Sengun has recorded over 10.5 rebounds in just five of his last 10 games, this prop is worth taking at plus-odds against a relatively weak Lakers frontcourt.
The other top Sengun prop to consider is over 0.5 blocks. While he’s not an elite rim protector by any means, the Turkish big man has certainly improved on defense. He’s posted at least one block in 39 of 71 appearances, including each of his last five games. Given this streak, I’m taking him to tally at least one rejection tonight at +130 odds.
