Rockets vs Wizards prediction<\/p>\n

Rockets vs Wizards best bet: Kevin Durant Over 24.5 points (-120)<\/p>\n

Kevin Durant<\/a> has been a beast since the All-Star break, cashing the Over in points in four of six games.<\/p>\n

The Houston Rockets<\/a> superstar just torched the Magic for 40 last week, and then he went off for another 32 points on Saturday night against the Heat. Durant is averaging 28 PPG on the road this season, which is just above his season average of 26.2 points.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A homecoming for Durant will always provide some extra motivation, and he did score 23 against the Washington Wizards<\/a> earlier in the campaign.<\/p>\n

Rockets vs Wizards same-game parlay<\/p>\n

Alperen Sengun<\/a> is averaging 6.3 assists per game, and he\u2019s cashed the Over in dimes in four of his last six games since the break. Sengun already dished out six assists against the Wizards earlier in the campaign, and Washington allows the second-most dimes in the Association.<\/p>\n

Tari Eason<\/a> isn\u2019t a household name, but he\u2019s proven to be a key piece for the Rockets lately, hitting the Over in four of his last five outings.<\/p>\n
