The Washington Wizards are set to be up against the Houston Rockets in a cross-conference clash on Monday. The Wizards are seeded 13th in the East, and are coming off a 16-43 win-loss record, and they will enter the matchup on the back of a four-game losing streak. The Rockets, on the other hand, are one of the top-seeded teams in the West, and they will enter the matchup off a 37-22 record. They are coming on the back of an upset against the Miami Heat. 

The Rockets are 15.5-point favorites with moneyline at -1200 and total around 223.5 points. These NBA odds tonight suggest that the visitors are highly-likely to steal homecourt advantage from the hosts and record a blowout win. We have got our NBA Best Bet, a same-game parlay and a few player props for tonight’s Wizards vs Rockets game. 

Here’s how we are betting for the Wizards’ face-off with the Houston Rockets. 

Best Bet for Washington Wizards vs Houston Rockets 

Best Bet: Houston Rockets -15.5 (-110)

Book: Best price at FanDuel 

Our best bet for Washington Wizards vs Houston Rockets is Rockets -15.5 (-110) against the spread. 

The Washington Wizards have struggled with consistency throughout the season and their three wins in the last ten games are a testament to it. Currently seeded at 13th in the conference standings, the Wizards are coming off four straight losses. However, their rivals are in the playoff contention and could finish at a top spot in the West. In their last ten fixtures, the Rockets have recorded six wins.

When we talk about their stats, the Rockets have the seventh-best offense and the fifth-best defense in the league. On the contrary, their rivals are struggling with one of the worst ratings on both ends of the court. 

The spread at Rockets -15.5 fits the visitors well considering their elite offense, defense as well as the Wizards’ woeful run. Houston can cover well in such spots. 

Keeping their offensive and defensive edge in mind, we are comfortably laying the Houston Rockets -15.5 (-110) as our best bet and hoping the guests will cover the number effortlessly. 

Same-Game Parlay Picks for Washington Wizards vs Houston Rockets. 

3-Leg SGP (Safer)

  • Leg 1: Kevin Durant Over 25.5 points 
  • Leg 2: Alperen Sengun Over 19.5 points 
  • Leg 3: Alperen Sengun Over 9.5 rebounds

Combined odds: +461

We have built this same-game parlay around the Houston Rockets’ players dominating the court. Durant has taken charge of the team’s offense ever since his move. Sengun, too, has established his dominance offensively, and has been shouldering the responsibility well for the side alongside the 16-time NBA All-Star. Not only this, but Sengun has also maintained a solid dominance on the board. 

These legs are correlated considering if the Rockets have control over the game, their players will get volume and more scoring opportunities and vice-versa. Hence, this is our safer SGP option.

Washington Wizards vs Houston Rockets Top Player Prop Odds 

Given how prop-heavy NBA betting is, we are also eyeing these player props for Washington Wizards vs Houston Rockets on Monday. 

  • Kyshawn George Over 11.5 points (-106
  • Amen Thompson Over 16.5 points (-122)
  • Reed Sheppard Over 20.5 points + rebounds (-104

These legs fit well into usage and volume. Kyshawn George is expected to take the charge for Wizards’ scoring amid absence of Alex Sarr. He and other Wizards players are likely to take advantage of their familiarity with the court and put up some points against the Rockets to keep them in the game. On the other hand, Amen Thompson has been delivering impactful performances this season and he, along with Reed Sheppard would want to exploit the Wizards’ weaker defense and put up a solid gameplay.
