Alperen Sengun Points Under 21.5 (-102) at FanDuel Sportsbook
Alperen Sengun has been one of the most impressive young players this season. He’s putting up All-Star numbers while leading his Rockets to unexpected success. When he faces the Miami Heat, he must overcome one of the league’s best defenders, Bam Adebayo.
In 34 games, Sengun has averaged 21.4 points, 9.0 rebounds, and 5.1 assists on 53.7% shooting from the field. In his seven-game homestand, Sengun averaged 25.4 points, 8.0 rebounds, and 4.6 assists on 54.9% from the field.
Sengun has hit under 21.5 points in 18 34 games this season. However, he’s only scored under 21.5 in two of his last five games. Against a tough Miami Heat defense, expect Sengun’s production to take a hit.
Jaime Jaquez Jr. Threes Under 1.5 (-225) at FanDuel Sportsbook
Jaime Jaquez Jr. has impressed NBA fans as he continually defies expectations. Averaging 13.7 points, 3.7 rebounds, and 2.7 assists on 50.8% from the field and 34.6% from three, Jaquez Jr. has fit perfectly with the Miami Heat in his rookie season.
Jaquez Jr. has hit under 1.5 threes in 26 of his 35 appearances this season. Coming up against one of the NBA’s most capable three-point defenses, Jaquez should struggle with his shooting mightily, even if Houston is shorthanded.
What Is an NBA Same Game Parlay?
A Same Game Parlay in NBA betting lets you bundle various bets on a single game, such as point spreads, totals, and player props. If all your picks for that game are spot on, your bet wins, giving you a chance for bigger payouts but also carrying a bit more risk.
