Pick: Houston Rockets -4.5

widget-odds-nba-ats-4987-ORL-HOU

The Rockets are favored by 4.5 points, and this spread seems reasonable given their superior home record and recent form. Houston's rebounding dominance and Orlando's offensive struggles make the Rockets a strong pick to cover the spread. Additionally, the Magic's inconsistency on the road further supports this selection.

Top Player Prop Picks

1. Alperen Sengun Over 10.5 Rebounds

Sengun is averaging 10.3 rebounds per game this season and will face an Orlando team that ranks 27th in total rebounds. His ability to dominate the boards makes this a favorable prop.

2. Jalen Green Over 2.5 Three-Pointers Made

Green is averaging 2.9 three-pointers made per game and will look to exploit Orlando's 26th-ranked three-point defense. His volume and efficiency from beyond the arc make this a strong play.

3. Paolo Banchero Over 24.5 Points

Banchero is averaging 24.3 points per game and will be the focal point of Orlando's offense. With Houston missing key defensive players like Amen Thompson, Banchero has a good opportunity to exceed his scoring average.
