2 Rockets vs Wizards Same Game Parlay Picks for Jan 7

1. Houston Rockets -11.5

Let’s be real here: the Houston Rockets are the heavy hitter in this matchup, even with SG Jalen Green listed as questionable (per updated Rockets vs Wizards injuries) (20 points per game). They’ve already proven they can handle the Wizards, and I’m banking on them to cover the spread once again in this matchup.

It shouldn’t come as a shock. The Rockets are third in the league defensively, allowing just 106.7 points per game, and come with a deep offensive arsenal that can pour it on. C Alperen Sengun continues to shine with 18.8 points and 10.4 rebounds per game, and veteran PG Fred VanVleet is adding an additional 14.8 points and a team-high 5.8 assists.

Not to mention, Houston is 6-4 against the spread when projected as an away favorite. And with Washington ranking last in points allowed, giving up 121.8 per game, it’s safe to say the Rockets should handle business in this rematch. Don’t you think? Bank on the Houston Rockets to take care of the Wizards on the road and cover the spread.

2. Rockets SF Dillon Brooks Under 15½ Points

Not only is this game the perfect recipe for another Rockets win, but I’m also counting on SF Dillon Brooks to finish with less than 16 points for my NBA player prop pick. Love him or hate him – NBA’s biggest villain – Brooks has never been the go-to scorer for this Rockets lineup. Even against one of the league’s worst defenses, I’m banking on him to stay just under that 16-point mark.

Hear me out: the last time these two teams faced off, Brooks chipped in only eight points over 33 minutes. Yeah, you read that right. And for the season, he’s averaging 13.7 points – solid, but not exactly a volume scorer. Besides, Houstons’ offense flows through Green and Sengun, leaving Brooks as more of a back-seat piece.

Will Dillon Brooks get on the board? No doubt about it. Maybe even knock down a couple of big shots. But cracking 16 points? Highly unlikely.
