The Houston Rockets recaptured their mojo with a clutch win in Clutch City last night over the Minnesota Timberwolves. Tonight, they look to follow it up with another one, this time in beautiful Salt Lake City against the Utah Jazz.
Here’s the top Alperen Sengun prop bets on DraftKings Sportsbook for the Western Conference clash, which tips off at 9:30 p.m. EST.
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 35.5.
The Rockets look to get rolling again in what should be a very winnable contest against the rebuilding Jazz. Utah ranks dead-last in defensive rating and 19th in points per game, though their team rebounding stats rank inside the top-10. The Rockets will be without Steven Adams, Tari Eason, and Fred VanVleet, so Sengun may see additional minutes given the two frontcourt players absent from the rotation. As for the Jazz, Jordan Clarkson is out, while Lauri Markkanen and John Collins are questionable.
Sengun is coming off a 24-point, 13-rebound performance against the Timberwolves in his first appearance since the All-Star Game. He didn’t shoot well in the win over Minnesota, making just eight of 21 field goal attempts, but he did notch a double-double nonetheless.
Utah does give up the seventh-most points in the paint per contest this season, so Sengun’s points line is worth a look again. Over 19.5 points sits at -125 odds, which should be a solid play since Utah’s paint defense is pretty weak and could take an additional hit if Collins sits. If Sengun takes 15-plus shots again as he typically averages, he’s got a good chance to hit that over.
Unfortunately, his rebounds line is probably one to avoid on its own tonight. A great pivot is the assists market, though. The -154 odds on over 4.5 assists won’t necessarily provide a huge return, but he’s surpassed that mark in 29 of 53 contests this campaign. A nice way to get better value here would be over 24.5 PTS + AST at -125 odds, or even over 15.5 AST + REB at -105 odds instead.
