Here are some of the bets that stand out for Wednesday’s games.<\/p>\n
Warriors-Rockets under 204.5 points (-112)<\/p>\n This series has been a defensive rock fight throughout, with an average combined score of 199.3 PPG. Game 4 was the highest-scoring thus far at 215 combined points, but a) that was a bit of an anomaly, and b) Game 5 is an elimination game. The Rockets are a young team that is much better on defense than on offense, and elimination games often lead to young teams tightening up even more on offense and putting even more effort into the defense. I wouldn’t be surprised at all if this were a game more like Game 1 where neither team tops the century mark. — Andre’ Snellings<\/p>\n Luka Doncic<\/a> over 32.5 points (-105)<\/p>\n With the Lakers in an elimination game, I fully expect both Luka and LeBron James<\/a> to have great games tonight. With the added sauce of the lingering questions about Luka’s physical fitness and will to win based on the aftermath of his trade from Dallas, in addition to the images of him missing layups late in Game 4, I particularly see Luka coming into this game with something to prove. And Luka has a history of putting up big scoring numbers against the Timberwolves. Last season, with the Mavericks, Luka averaged 33.6 PPG in seven games against the Timberwolves (including the playoffs). In this season’s playoffs, outside of when he was battling illness in Game 3, Luka has averaged 35.3 PPG. — Snellings<\/p>\n Alperen Sengun<\/a> over 31.5 points and rebounds (-120)<\/p>\n The Rockets’ season is on the line heading into Wednesday night’s game against the Warriors. Good things happen when Houston leans on Sengun. He stockpiled 31 points and 10 rebounds in 42 minutes in Game 4 against Golden State. The Warriors have struggled to defend centers all season, which is something the Rockets would be wise to exploit. Sengun has cleared this line in three of four games against Golden State this season. He’s also done it in eight of the 13 games where he’s played 37 or more minutes. — Eric Moody<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/1746033370_158_external.svg\"\/)
