Pistons vs Rockets NBA Preview
I'm backing Rockets center Alperen Sengun on his points + rebounds + assists line tonight.
This line is up five from the opener against a tough Oklahoma City' defense.
The matchup with the Pistons' Jalen Duren and Isaiah Stewart isn’t ideal, but I’m banking on Sengun being a 38+ PRA per night type of guy, and until it hits that number, I’m willing to back it.
The market has adjusted, but not enough.
