Amen Thompson (Houston Rockets) Under 5.5 Assists (-172)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Houston Rockets visit the Denver Nuggets, all eyes will be on young Amen Thompson. However, betting under 5.5 assists for him makes a lot of sense right now. In his last five games, Thompson has averaged just 2.8 assists, and when he's on the road, that number creeps up slightly to 3.8. But here's the kicker: against Denver, he hasn't recorded a single assist in their last matchups, which is pretty telling. His overall hit rate for this prop is strikingly consistent, as he's gone under in six straight appearances. Given the Nuggets' solid defensive schemes and the pressure of playing in Denver, it's likely Thompson will struggle to find his rhythm. With an expected stat value of just 4.04, this under feels like a safe bet. It's all about recognizing the trends, and right now, they point towards Thompson falling short of that 5.5 mark.

Jamal Murray (Denver Nuggets) Over 3.5 Rebounds (-159)

As the Denver Nuggets prepare to host the Houston Rockets, all eyes should be on Jamal Murray, particularly when it comes to his rebounding prop. Murray has been a force on the boards lately, averaging 4.2 rebounds in his last five games and an impressive 5.2 at home. Against the Rockets, he's consistently delivered, pulling down an average of 4.2 rebounds at home, which bodes well for his chances to clear the 3.5 mark. What's even more compelling is his recent hit rate-Murray has crushed this line in 10 of his last 11 games, going a perfect 5-for-5 at home. The Nuggets will look to Murray to step up not just in scoring but in all facets of the game, making this a prime opportunity for him to showcase his all-around talent. Expect him to exceed that 3.5 rebounds with relative ease in this matchup.
