| NBA | (523) Los Angeles Lakers at (524) Houston Rockets: Alperen Sengun Rebounds + Assists | 9:30pm EDT - May 1/2026 |
The PLAY: Alperen Sengun Rebounds + Assists Over 15.5 (-110)
After winning the first three games of the series, the Lakers have dropped back-to-back games as they’ll get a third crack to close the Rockets out in Houston. Momentum is in Houston’s favor and we’ll look for center Alperen Sengun to go over 15.5 rebounds + assists after notching 17 in their 99-93 Game 5 win on Wednesday. He’s averaging 15.4 rebounds + assists per game in the series, but if you take out the Game 4 blowout in which he only played 33 minutes, he’s averaging 17.2 per game in the other four games. Sengun has played 38.8 minutes per game this series, and on the season, averages 18.1 rebounds + assists per 40 minutes. Without a true point guard, it may be best for the Rockets to let the offense flow through Sengun rather than using Amen Thompson as the primary playmaker because he will likely have Marcus Smart shadowing him once again. With their season on the line tonight again, let’s look for Sengun to be the catalyst on both ends of the floor, going over 15.5 rebounds + assists in Game 6 at home.
