Rockets vs Timberwolves Props and Betting Picks

Best Bet: Rockets -10.5 (-114)

The T-Wolves are missing some key pieces today, and that puts me on the Rockets to cover.

As of early Friday afternoon, Minnesota has listed Julius Randle and Rudy Gobert out while Anthony Edwards is questionable. Gobert is clearly a big miss for Minnesota's defense, and even if Ant suits up, he's played in just two of the Timberwolves' past 12 games so he may be a bit rusty.

Houston -- unlike Minny -- has some motivation to win tonight as they are trying to overtake the Los Angeles Lakers for the four seed and homecourt advantage in the first round. The Rockets have gone 8-2 over their past 10 games, and they should be able to keep rolling against a depleted Timberwolves team.

Best Prop Bet: Alperen Sengun to Record a Double-Double (+100)

Gobert being out makes this a much easier matchup for Alperen Sengun.

Sengun is -3500 to score 10-plus points, so in all likelihood, rebounds will be the biggest hurdle to clear if he's going to notch a double-double.

He's been busy on the glass of late, grabbing 14 and 12 boards the past two games, and as I just mentioned, this game means something to Houston, which will likely lead to Sengun seeing his usual minutes.

This double-double prop is my favorite way to bet this contest.
