Nine games on Thursday including a clash between two of the NBA’s best teams when the Rockets head to Cleveland - can Houston pinch a road win to extend their win streak to five games?
Houston Rockets @ Cleveland Cavaliers
Both the Cavaliers and Rockets have had a hot start to the 2025/26 season, with both rosters expected to go deep into the playoffs of their respective conferences.
Alperen Sengun has been doing it all consistently all season for Houston, while each team has important role playing sharp shooters that are capable of going off.
The pick of the games in a nine game slate!
LEG 1 - Alperen Sengun 6+ Assists
The streak continues! Alperen Sengun has played 12 games this season, and has a 100% strike rate at hitting 6+ assists this season.
Averaging 7.4 assists for the season, Sengun is thriving playing alongside Kevin Durant this season and we’ll continue to back him while he continues to hit 6+ assists.
LEG 2 - Reed Sheppard 10+ Points
Absolute fire cracker off the bench, and Reed Sheppard has found his role on this Houston team.
Josh Okogie starts, but it’s Sheppard coming off the bench the last five games who has taken the starter minutes in that role.
In doing so, Sheppard has hit 10+ in seven of his last eight games and when playing 20+ minutes in the last five games he averages 16.4 points.
LEG 3 - Sam Merrill 10+ Points
Assuming Merrill gets up for the Cavaliers, he’s been a reliable contributor this season and should be hitting 10+ points in this.
Merrill averages 13.9 points this season, and has hit 10+ points in 83% of his 12 games so far.
Will benefit with the injury to Darius Garland, and will continue to get his looks from deep.
SAME GAME MULTI
Sengun 6+ Assists / Sheppard 10+ Points / Merrill 10+ Points = $3.30
VALUE BET
Jabari Smith Double Double @ $5.40
With Tari Eason unavailable, we saw big minutes for Jabari Smith Jr last start resulting in 10 points and 10 rebounds against the Magic.
The Cavaliers concede rebounds to power forwards 20% above average this season - the easiest team in the league for 4-men to rebound against, so he’s a nice price with the minutes boost to record his second straight double double.
