Rockets vs. Raptors prop picks: Expect Fred VanVleet and Scottie Barnes to shine

The Toronto Raptors host the Houston Rockets at Scotiabank Arena on Wednesday night.

Fred VanVleet and Scottie Barnes should do well without Pascal Siakam. Alperen Sengun is worth fading against one of the league's best defences.

VanVleet was injured and missed three games in October. He returned to form recently and has scored 27-plus points in his last two games. Toronto's point guard is playing in place of injured forward Pascal Siakam. The Raptors are playing against Houston Rockets.

Rockets and Raptors are playing each other. Fred VanVleet and Scottie Barnes are expected to shine.

Alperen Sengun has been one of Houston's few bright spots this season. He's been held under 16.5 points in five of nine games so far. Toronto has one the best defensive efficiency and fourth-fewest points per game.

Barnes has three double-doubles on the season and two of those have come in the last three games. Barnes recorded his first triple-double against the Dallas Mavericks last Friday and followed that up with a 19-10-4 performance against Bulls on Sunday.
