A player that continues to grow is Amen Thompson of the Houston Rockets. He has been on a terror in the rebounds prop market, and came close to a triple double two games ago against the Minnesota Timberwolves. He is one of those rare players that wants to be on the floor as much as possible, and that is evident in him playing 40 or more minutes in five out of the last eight games. Just two weeks ago he put in 23 points and 12 rebounds against the Pelicans, and I expect his best upside to be in the points category tonight. Tail his points over.

The Rockets recently benched Tari Eason, moving Reed Sheppard into the starting lineup. Over the last five games since that move was made, Sheppard combined for at least eight rebounds and assists each time. During the stretch, he averaged 4.8 rebounds and 6.4 assists. The last time he faced the Pelicans, he had five rebounds and three assists off the bench. Look for him to be productive in both departments again.
