Prop #1 – Alperen Sengun Over 9.5 Rebounds<\/h2>

Over 9.5 Rebounds (-114 at FanDuel<\/a>)<\/p>

Sengun has averaged 9.2 rebounds per game this season, with strong consistency on the road at 8.4 boards per contest. His minutes remain steady, and his presence in the paint ensures high rebounding volume.<\/p>

Against Miami, Sengun should thrive in a pace‑controlled game where second‑chance opportunities matter. The Heat’s frontcourt has struggled to contain versatile bigs, giving Sengun a favorable matchup.<\/p>

Given his usage and rebounding role, we like Sengun to clear this number tonight.<\/p>

Prop #2 – Trey Murphy III Over 22.5 Points<\/h2>

Over 22.5 Points (-110 at BetMGM<\/a>)<\/p>

Murphy has been on a scoring tear, averaging 26.0 points over his last six games. His efficiency from deep has been excellent, shooting over 46% from three in that span.<\/p>

Facing Utah, Murphy should benefit from a fast‑paced contest with a total set at 243.5. The Jazz’s defense has struggled, allowing high scoring outputs to opposing wings.<\/p>

Given his recent production and matchup, we like Murphy to clear this number tonight.<\/p>

Prop #3 – Jrue Holiday Over 18.5 Points<\/h2>

Over 18.5 Points (+100 at DraftKings<\/a>)<\/p>

Holiday has averaged 15.5 points per game this season, but his recent form shows 18.0 points across his last 10 contests. His efficiency from three and free throws has been strong, and his minutes remain secure.<\/p>

Against Charlotte, Holiday should see increased usage in a competitive matchup. The Hornets’ defense has allowed perimeter scorers to thrive, giving him a favorable spot.<\/p>

Given his role and recent production, we like Holiday to clear this number tonight.<\/p>

Same‑Game Parlay Note<\/h3>

If you’re building an SGP, note correlations (e.g., Sengun rebounds + Rockets team total under 225.5 are positively correlated).<\/p>
