The Rockets (24-12) will face off against the Grizzlies (24-13) tonight in a Western Conference clash between two of the league’s best defenses. The Rockets have gone 7-3 in their last 10, and the Grizzlies have gone 6-4. Alperen Sengun has been essential to the Rockets’ success, posting averages of 19 PPG, 10.4 RPG, and 5 APG. He’s presumably en route to his first All-Star appearance, anchoring the Rockets to their terrific record and second-place in the West. The Rockets are thriving under Ime Udokaand are playing gritty, hard basketball despite efficiency issues.
Here are some of the best Alperen Sengun prop bets on DraftKings Sportsbook for Thursday’s matchup:
Best Alperen Sengun Prop Bet
PTS 20.5 (Over -115 / Under -115): Sengun’s been averaging 19.3 PPG in the past 10 games, a little short of his points O/U mark for tonight. The Grizzlies are the 5th ranked defense in the league, but are actually 20th in conceding points in the paint, where Sengun thrives. I like Sengun’s Over in his O/U line here due to his reliance on doing most of his damage near the basket, where the Grizzlies have been weak all season. Furthermore, Jaren Jackson Jr. is questionable for tonight’s game, and if he can’t give it a go, then Memphis will sorely miss the rim protection Jackson Jr. provides, especially with Sengun on their plate tonight.
PTS + REB + AST 36.5 (Over -120 / Under -110): As a nightly triple double threat, Sengun has flirted with this O/U over his past ten games, averaging 33.7 PTS + REB + AST. He should come close to this mark tonight, and as I mentioned before, should find no resistance close to the rim. I’m going Over here as well due to the Grizzlies’ weakness in the interior, where Sengun will either score the ball himself or find athletic rim-cutters in Jalen Green or Amen Thompson for easy dimes.
