Golden State earned a hard fought win over Houston last week without Stephen Curry and Draymond Green, and now with its stars at full health it will look to follow that performance with another strong showing on the road.

Let's build a same-game parlay for Warriors vs Rockets on Wednesday, December 11 and lay out a few props that will work well as standalone straight bets as well.

Jonathan Kuminga 18+ Points

Amidst a few injuries, Jonathan Kuminga has taken the opportunity handed to him and made the most of it.

• The young wing is a close second on the team to Curry with a gaudy 30.4% Usage Rate in the past two weeks, and in six games over this span he's put up 19 or more points four times -- going for 33 against Houston back on December 5.

Kuminga should be in the best position to make an impact on this one, going against a Rockets defense that has had some issues in the past 14 days and sits just 19th in rim defense over this span.

He's taken 35% of his shots at the rim this season, which sits in the top 40% of the league among all forwards, and on these looks he's shooting a brilliant 71%.

With Alperen Sengun hampered by a sore knee and Steven Adams joining him on the injury report, there could be even more to love about this matchup, and the number here is too generous to pass up.

Alperen Sengun 6+ Assists

Speaking of Sengun, he's put together a nice run in the assists column with six or more in five of his last six games -- and while the only time he missed this mark was against the Warriors, when he racked up five helpers -- things should be different this time around.

• Golden State's defense may be holding up pretty well right now, but it's struggled to defend in every shooting zone in the last two weeks, most notably at the rim and the arc.
• It's survived off of turnovers, but as we expect some regression to the mean there should be more shots falling for Houston which should mean more assists to go around than the measly 20 it had last time out against the Warriors.

Golden State is allowing the 10th-most assists per 100 possessions in the last two weeks, and as anticipate what's been an overachieving defense of late to slump a bit I think the big man -- who has the ball in his hands on almost every possession -- should be the one to find open men on Wednesday.

Amen Thompson 12+ Points

Amen Thompson had 14 points last time out against the Warriors, and he followed that up with a smoldering 22 points in his next game against the LA Clippers.

There's plenty to like about this game as a result, particularly given the weaknesses we laid out above.

• The Warriors are just 22nd in rim defense over the last 14 days, and Thompson has done nothing but take shots around the restricted area all season.

The bouncy wing has taken 54% of his shots at the rim this year, which is the highest of any player we anticipate getting decent minutes on Wednesday and a mark which sits in the top 4% of all players at his position.

He should be able to knife his way inside against a team which has begun allowing many more shots to come from within eight or so feet, and one which has struggled to stop opponents inside, and there's a chance he sees a slight bump in minutes here with two bigs hampered by injury.
