Jalen Green to score 25+ points (+390)

For 23-year-old Jalen Green, finding consistency has been a struggle over the past couple of weeks. There’s no doubt that the young shooting guard is the future of the Houston Rockets and we saw a glimpse of what exactly he can do in Game 2 when he went off for 38 points, including 8 threes on 44% efficiency. However, in the other 2 games, he failed to crack double-digits scoring-wise, which is concerning for head coach Ime Udoka, who has had to dig deep to find points in this series with his leading scorer seemingly struggling to deliver.

Game 4 is another chance for Green to take the next step in maturity, with his team facing a potential 3-1 deficit in a hostile environment. If we look at his last 20 games to close out the regular season and begin the playoffs, Green is averaging just over 20 points a night. He’s scored 20+ in 13 of those games, and a few of those matchups towards the end of the season weren’t relevant and Green didn’t play significant minutes. In moments like this, we find out if certain players are made for the big stage. This is Green’s time to shine and I’m willing to trust him in our Rockets vs Warriors Same Game Parlay.

Alperen Sengun to record a Double-Double (-200)

Alperen Sengun has been the complete opposite of Green despite being a year younger than the talented shooting guard. The level of play the Turkish center is displaying is truly remarkable, as he ended the year with the 9th-highest rebounding average in the league at 10.3 per game, which has translated to 45 double-doubles on the season. The future is truly bright for the Rockets at the center position. He translated that success into the postseason as well, dominating the shorter lineup of the Warriors with an average of 12 boards per game in the 3 meetings so far.

Even during the regular season, Golden State struggled to keep opponents off the glass, finishing the year as only the 17th-ranked team in opponent rebounds per game, giving up 52.5 a night. That number has gone up to 61 per game in the 3 games against the Rockets, so it’s quite remarkable Steph Curry and company lead this series after 3 games played. Similar to Green, I expect Sengun to show up in moments like these. He hasn’t had many of them in his career, but so far he has really impressed me with his play. I have full confidence in him getting another double-double in Monday’s game.
