⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️: Buckets podcast three-star bet for opening night. Western Conference home opener favorites of more than a possession (<-4 spread) are 11-6 in the last five seasons. Rockets’ biggest weakness right now is ball handling. Not great going up against the velociraptors on OKC’s wings. More for Houston to figure out.

⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️: My DraftKings #KingOfTheCourt best bet for opening night. OKC had rebounding issues even with bigs available. Sengun’s rebounds and assists went up without Jalen last year per possession. I think this is a breakout season and it starts tonight, even if I like OKC to cover.

KD makes his Rockets debut in a tough matchup against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Tuesday night. Durant will provide championship pedigree and a clear go to scoring threat that they did not have prior to his acquisition. Durant is a lethal scorer, and without Fred VanVleet, he will be leaned on more than originally anticipated for finishing off possessions and spacing the floor. KD averaged 26.6 ppg last season and scored 28, 20, and 26 against the Thunder. Here, I think there is an even greater need for his scoring ability than with the Suns and Devin Booker and Bradley Beal. His Usage should be sky high when he is on the floor and I expect him to make a splash in his debut.

Tailing @TurveyBets. Like this even more now that Rockets confirmed they will be starting Adams with a double big lineup.

RotoGrinders projections have Sheppard’s u5.5 RA popping assuming the Rockets play more of a big lineup. He’ll lineup run the second unit but I agree there’s a wide range of outcomes here so let’s embrace the uncertainty on opening night.

Houston already led the league in rebounding rate by a decent margin last season. They finished at 53.5% in the regular season, and no other team was above 52%. Now, they're trotting out the double-big lineup. Steven Adams will draw the start tonight. With Adams on the floor last season (796 minutes), Houston had a 59.2% (!!) rebounding rate. Hartenstein averaged 10.7 rebounds per game last season, but that number was inflated by Chet Holmgren's injury absence. He averaged 9 rebounds in 20 games with Holmgren available.
