As most young players do, Sengun struggles with consistency, outputting duds against good defenses and spike games against soft defenses. Lucky for us, the Nets are one of those soft defenses. Brooklyn is allowing 25.4 points and 17.1 rebounds to opposing centers in its last 30 games. In the same timespan against similar defenses, Sengun is averaging 15.8 ppg and 9.5 rpg, which gets us well over the 22.5. If you want a riskier bet, o8.5 rebounds is available at +105 odds. It dropped from +115 this morning, so we're on the right side. But rebounds are a volatile stat, so it may be easier to go with the combo.
Claxton only has three double-doubles over his last seven games, but the other four games were near-misses. The last time we saw him take the floor against the Rockets, he provided 18 points and 13 rebounds over 29 minutes. The Rockets have the second-worst defensive rating in the league and the second-lowest shooting percentage, so with the potential for Claxton to get additional rebounding opportunities and to be met with little resistance in the paint, I like taking a chance on this at plus odds.
Nets guard Spencer Dinwiddie shot 0 for 11 in Sunday's loss in Orlando, finishing with two points. He's still averaging 17.1 points this month. This is the ultimate bounceback spot -- at home against a non-existent Rockets defense. Houston just gave up 137 to the Knicks and ranks 29th in points allowed per game (118.8). When Dinwiddie faced the Rockets on March 7 in Houston, he scored 23 points in 29 minutes on 8-of-16 shooting. Go Over 18.5 points.
