The NBA has a solid Saturday night slate of action on the board for the first Saturday of November. In one matchup, Kevin Durant and the Rockets roll into Phoenix to face the Suns at 9 p.m. ET at the Mortgage Matchup Center. The Rockets are an impressive 7-2, though they lost to the Timberwolves on Wednesday. The Suns are 2-5 but are coming off Thursday’s home win over the Magic. Let’s take a closer look at Saturday’s matchup and pick a few Rockets-Suns props that make sense to add to your betting card.
Looking at the odds, the Rockets are 6.5-point road favorites on DraftKings Sportsbook, with the over/under set at 223.5. As of Saturday afternoon, 96% of bets are on the Rockets on the moneyline, and 77% are on Houston to cover the spread.
On the injury report, the Rockets listed Steven Adams and Clint Capela as out, while Bruce Thornton is available. The Suns listed Rasheer Fleming as questionable and Jordan Goodwin as doubtful, while Mark Williams remains out.
Rockets at Suns Props on DraftKings Sportsbook
Dillon Brooks 20+ Points + Rebounds (-115)
The Suns acquired Brooks in the Kevin Durant trade from the Rockets, and the 30-year-old veteran brought his signature edge and competitive fire to Phoenix. Coming off a career-best season in 2025-26, Brooks has averaged 21.5 combined points and rebounds this season and has recorded 20+ in five straight games.
“Dillon the Villain” should be extra hyped to take it to one of his former teams. Last year, he averaged 19.3 points and 3.5 rebounds across four meetings with the Rockets. In one of those contests, he erupted for 29 points and three rebounds at home.
Brooks is coming off a season-high 24 points in Thursday’s win over the Magic, and he should be ready to roll as the Suns try to ground the Rockets on Saturday night.
Alperen Sengun 7+ Assists (-125)
Sengun is averaging an impressive 8.1 assists per game early on this season, and he has recorded at least seven dimes in six straight games. The Suns have allowed the most FPTS per game to centers this season, so Sengun should find space to operate down low on Saturday night.
Sengun is coming off a triple-double on Wednesday against the Timberwolves. He has played at least 37 minutes in three of his last four games and typically carries a heavy workload. In such a favorable spot, Sengun should be able to get over this threshold again on Saturday night.
Fred VanVleet 12+ Points (-119)
VanVleet has scored over 15 points in three of his last four games and is averaging 13 points per game this season. He has looked solid coming back from an ACL tear, averaging 11 field goal attempts per contest and shooting 39% from the field.
The veteran guard had 18 points in Wednesday’s loss and matched a season-high with four three-pointers. He can be streaky from the field, but in this relatively high-scoring environment, he has a strong chance to hit this threshold against a depleted Phoenix backcourt.
Bonus Parlay Play: Khaman Maluach 6+ Rebounds (+114)
If you are assembling a Same Game Parlay (SGP), use the available 30% NBA Profit Boost on a 2+ leg parlay on DraftKings Sportsbook. Adding in the over on Maluach’s rebounds boosts the SGP odds to +1100 for the four player prop bets in this post. Adding on the booster can take your winnings even higher!
Maluach has pulled six or more rebounds in six of his seven games this season and is averaging 6.0 rebounds per game. He’s playing only 20 minutes per contest, but he is cleaning up the glass when he’s on the floor. The 20-year-old was a top-10 pick in the 2025 NBA Draft and is off to a strong start in a larger role this season.
