Here’s how we are betting for the Wizards’ face-off with the 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.
3-Leg SGP (Safer)
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

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.
