Houston Rockets are laying 16.5 at home tonight, and I think this one’s over by the third quarter. Ime Udoka has been pretty open about what happens then. He notably said in October he wants Kevin Durant’s minutes down, and when he was asked who covers them, he said “you have Tari, you have Jabari.” According to PropsMadness, in games when the Rockets have closed as double-digit favorites w/ the starters all active, Tari Eason has gone over 14.5 points and rebounds in 9 of 10, averaging 21.8. The minutes should be there even before it gets out of hand. Marcus Smart is suspended, and Eason played over 30 minutes in all three games Smart missed this year. Adams and Capela are still out, so Sengun is the only real big, and Eason is the forward who chases every miss. Utah is bad in transition, where he does most of his damage, and he’s been unlucky lately: 6 points on Tuesday on shots that should’ve been worth 15. I’m on the over and am projecting more bench run and longer leash to benefit off a weak Jazz squad. #PlayerProps
