Rockets vs Wizards prediction
Rockets vs Wizards best bet: Kevin Durant Over 24.5 points (-120)
Kevin Durant has been a beast since the All-Star break, cashing the Over in points in four of six games.
The Houston Rockets superstar just torched the Magic for 40 last week, and then he went off for another 32 points on Saturday night against the Heat. Durant is averaging 28 PPG on the road this season, which is just above his season average of 26.2 points.
A homecoming for Durant will always provide some extra motivation, and he did score 23 against the Washington Wizards earlier in the campaign.
Rockets vs Wizards same-game parlay
Alperen Sengun is averaging 6.3 assists per game, and he’s cashed the Over in dimes in four of his last six games since the break. Sengun already dished out six assists against the Wizards earlier in the campaign, and Washington allows the second-most dimes in the Association.
Tari Eason isn’t a household name, but he’s proven to be a key piece for the Rockets lately, hitting the Over in four of his last five outings.
The 24-year-old had 11 rebounds on Saturday, and another eight last Thursday against the Magic.
