Nine games on Thursday including a clash between two of the NBA\u2019s best teams when the Rockets head to Cleveland – can Houston pinch a road win to extend their win streak to five games?<\/span><\/p>\n

Houston Rockets @ Cleveland Cavaliers<\/strong><\/h2>\n

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.<\/span><\/p>\n

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.<\/span><\/p>\n

The pick of the games in a nine game slate!<\/span><\/p>\n

LEG 1 – Alperen Sengun 6+ Assists<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The streak continues! Alperen Sengun has played 12 games this season, and has a 100% strike rate at hitting 6+ assists this season.<\/span><\/p>\n

Averaging 7.4 assists for the season, Sengun is thriving playing alongside Kevin Durant this season and we\u2019ll continue to back him while he continues to hit 6+ assists.<\/span><\/p>\n

LEG 2 – Reed Sheppard 10+ Points<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Absolute fire cracker off the bench, and Reed Sheppard has found his role on this Houston team.<\/span><\/p>\n

Josh Okogie starts, but it\u2019s Sheppard coming off the bench the last five games who has taken the starter minutes in that role.<\/span><\/p>\n

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.<\/span><\/p>\n

LEG 3 – Sam Merrill 10+ Points<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Assuming Merrill gets up for the Cavaliers, he\u2019s been a reliable contributor this season and should be hitting 10+ points in this.<\/span><\/p>\n

Merrill averages 13.9 points this season, and has hit 10+ points in 83% of his 12 games so far.<\/span><\/p>\n

Will benefit with the injury to Darius Garland, and will continue to get his looks from deep.<\/span><\/p>\n

SAME GAME MULTI<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Sengun 6+ Assists \/ Sheppard 10+ Points \/ Merrill 10+ Points = $3.30<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

\n

VALUE BET<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Jabari Smith Double Double @ $5.40<\/strong><\/p>\n

With Tari Eason unavailable, we saw big minutes for Jabari Smith Jr last start resulting in 10 points and 10 rebounds against the Magic.<\/span><\/p>\n

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\u2019s a nice price with the minutes boost to record his second straight double double.<\/span><\/p>\n
