NBA Player Props Tonight for Rockets vs Grizzlies: Alperun Sengun Headlines My +470 SGP (Jan 30)

Publish Date: 01/30/2025
Fact checked by: Sara Jane Gamelli

Our second game of the night on national television should be a big one, with two in-form offenses looking to keep some impressive runs going.

The Memphis Grizzlies seem on the verge of a turnaround with a few more players healing from injury, but like the Houston Rockets it's been their offense to drive the ship with their defense lagging behind. That should create a fun game to pair together some props.

Let's build a same-game parlay for Rockets vs Grizzlies on Thursday, January 30 and lay out a few props that will work well as standalone straight bets as well.

NBA Parlay Predictions for Rockets vs Grizzlies

Alperun Sengun 34+ Points, Rebounds + Assists

It does seem a bit obvious, but the man we'll have to throw our money behind here in what should be a good display of offense is the lead man for the Houston Rockets.

Alperun Sengun isn't a consistent scorer, but we did see last game against the Atlanta Hawks what he's capable of against a weak frontcourt defense. He went for 18 points on a cool 7-of-12 from the floor, and against a Grizzlies defense down in the bottom five of the league in rim defense over the last two weeks he should pad his numbers more than enough here.

  • What I'm most interested in is the fact that Memphis has allowed the ninth-most assists per 100 possessions to opponents, and Sengun remains atop the Rockets in assist rate this season.

Whether it's scoring himself, or finding the open man cutting to the basket, I think Sengun should have a handsome stat line in this one. He shattered this number with 32 points, 14 rebounds and five assists the first time he played the Grizzlies, narrowly missing the mark in the next game, but with what we've laid out there's nothing to fear.

Houston is ahead of Memphis on the glass in the last two weeks and look primed to get the ball inside to Sengun, so there should be nothing holding him back.

Amen Thompson 17+ Points

One of the men who Sengun may get the ball to here is Amen Thompson, who has done a great deal of work at the rim.

Thompson has taken 57% of his shots at the rim this season, ranked in the top 2% of all wings, and he will head up against a Grizzlies defense which has not only ranked 24th in rim defense over the last two weeks but has allowed the sixth-most shots on average in the zone.

  • The dynamic slasher will have the matchup he wants, and he's also coming in on a tear at the moment with 18.5 points on average since returning from suspension 11 games ago and a burly 38.6 minutes per contest.

With 17 or more in four of his last six games, I feel confident firing up Thompson to score here given the Rockets' expected emphasis on scoring down low against a weak frontcourt.

Jaylen Wells 2+ Made Threes

Houston hasn't been without its soft spots on defense, and it seems the best target is the perimeter.

The Rockets have allowed 36.1% shooting from 3 over the last two weeks, ranked in the bottom half of the league, and more than that they've ranked seventh-highest in 3-point field goals allowed on average.

  • The outside shot should be a point of emphasis for Memphis, and while there are a number of ways to go here I think we take the best price and run with it -- and that means betting on Jaylen Wells.

The young wing has knocked down two or more triples in five of his last six games, and most notably has bn playing around 30 minutes in that span, with a 16-minute stint in a blowout loss to New York the lone outlier.

He should see the floor plenty here, and with what we're seeing out of Houston he should also find himself open to shoot several times.
