Perhaps no player’s performance has swung this series more than Jalen Green’s. In their two losses, Green has recorded a combined 16 points on 7-of-26 shooting. In their win, he scored 38 on 13-of-25 shooting. Whether the Houston Rockets get Good Jalen or Bad Jalen may swing the game.
One thing is for sure: he will get his shots up. The Rockets rely on him as a go-to perimeter initiator who takes pressure off Alperen Sengun. The question becomes: can he make the shots? Or will it be another brick fest?
The Rockets enter as 3.5-point underdogs at +142 on the moneyline on DraftKings Sportsbook. The total is set at a very low 203. Let’s take a look at Green’s best bets for tonight.
Best Jalen Green Prop Bets on DraftKings Sportsbook
Jalen Green Under 27.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists
Bad news for Jalen Green. He won’t come close to this total if the shot isn’t falling.
The shots falling in Game 2 also coincided with Jimmy Butler’s absence and GP2/Brandin Podziemski being banged up. Unsurprisingly, his production dipped when two of Golden State’s best perimeter defenders got back to full speed.
Now, Jimmy Butler and his exceptional defense on and off the ball is back. Unless Green can hit plenty of threes, his drives will be contained, and playmaking chances will be limited. I’m betting on another tough outing for Green tonight.
