Alperen Sengun and the Houston Rockets downed the New Orleans Pelicans on Thursday night, and they look to do it one more time at home this evening. The Turkish center has been on a roll lately, but can he keep it up tonight?
Here’s the top Sengun player props on DraftKings Sportsbook ahead of the 7 p.m. EST tip-off.
Best Alperen Sengun prop bets on DraftKings Sportsbook
DraftKings Sportsbook lists Sengun’s lines for tonight at 22.5 points, 10.5 rebounds, and 5.5 assists. His PTS + REB + AST O/U is 38.5.
Houston scored 109 points in their previous win over the Pelicans, but they may put up higher numbers tonight. New Orleans’ defensive rating of 118.2 is the second-worst in the NBA and they allow the second-most opponent points in the paint at 52.8 per contest. Sengun went for 22 points, six rebounds, and eight assists in that matchup and shot a very efficient 11-for-14 from the field.
With that in mind, the over on Sengun’s points line is worth a look, especially at +100 odds to go over 22.5. The over on this line hit in five of his seven games since All-Star Weekend, so the 22-year-old is already putting up better numbers than before the break. Since playing in his first All-Star Game, Sengun is averaging 22.9 points per game while shooting 53.0% from the field — better marks than his 18.8 PPG on 49.1% shooting before getting a little bit of time off. He probably won’t go way over this line, but he’s set up for success. At plus-odds, over bettors could be, too.
One more prop to look at is the blocks market. While slightly unconventional to bet on defense, Sengun has recorded at least one block in five of his last seven appearances. He’s not a fantastic rim protector, but he’s certainly serviceable as a defender. At -105 odds to record at least one block, it’s a good chance to grab a line with a 31/59 hit rate on the campaign.
