Cam Johnson Over 2.5 Made Threes (+112)

Cam Johnson is up against the Houston Rockets today, and it's a great spot for him to get cooking from deep.

The Rockets are miserable defensively, sitting dead last in defensive rating across the past 15 games, and they've given up the second-highest three-point attempt rate in that stretch.

Johnson has always been a sharpshooter, and he's taking 6.7 three-pointers per night since being dealt to the Brooklyn Nets, a rise of 0.9 from his time with the Phoenix Suns this year. He just went 5 for 8 from three in a game against the Miami Heat, another team that permits a lot of three-point tries.

Our algorithm projects Johnson to shoot 3.5 for 8.5 from deep tonight. This is a great prop to lock in.

Alperen Sengun Over 8.5 Rebounds (+108)

This is another plus-money over I'm into in the Nets-Rockets matchup.

Alperen Sengun can feast on the glass in this one.

Over the last 15 games, no team in the league is surrendering more rebounds per night to the center position than the Nets are (17.6). It's been a season-long issue for Brooklyn, as they've given up the second-most boards per game to centers for the year (16.2).

Sengun is averaging 8.6 rebounds per game on the season, and he's played at least 30 minutes in 8 of his last 10 outings.

We project Sengun for 8.8 rebounds tonight. That's pretty much right at this line, but with the plus-money on the over, that's the side I want to be on.

Josh Giddey to Record a Triple-Double (+500)

This one is a bit of a long shot, which is why it's priced at +500, but I think Josh Giddey can do it.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is out again for the Oklahoma City Thunder, and that's a boost for Giddey, who averages 18.6 points, 8.7 assists and 7.8 rebounds per 36 minutes sans SGA this season, according to CourtIQ.

Giddey just went off for 31 points, 10 boards and 9 dimes last night with SGA out. He's snagged double-digit rebounds in three straight. Assists will likely be the biggest hurdle to a Giddy trip-doub, but the matchup can help.

OKC is hosting the Detroit Pistons, a team that checks in 20th in defensive rating across the last 15 games. Detroit has allowed at least 112 points in six consecutive games, including 129 and 126 in two of their last three.

We have Giddey totaling 19.3 points, 8.4 rebounds and 7.3 assists. There's upside for more given the matchup and SGA's absence.
