Alperen Sengun is out for the Rockets and although there’s a number of candidates that can fill the void it looks like Amen Thompson will play a huge role for Houston.

Atlanta Hawks @ Toronto Raptors (11:40am)

Sandro Mamukelashvili

Over 16.5 PR

$1.87

What an acquisition the big man has been for the Raptors, with his game going from strength-to-strength in the absence of Jakob Poeltl.

Sandro Mamukelashvili averages just 10 points and 6.2 rebounds this season, but when he plays 22+ minutes those averages jump to 14.2 and 6.8.

Although his averages don’t move too much without Poeltl overall, his recent form without him is strong – the last nine games he’s covered the 16.5 PR line on eight occasions, averaging a PR of 20.4.

Mamukelashvili Over 16.5 PR / Ingram 20+ Points / Porzingis 4+ Rebounds

Next Best

New York Knicks @ Detroit Pistons (11:10am)

Miles McBride

Over 11.5 Points

Bet Now

$1.80

Continues to play well for the Knicks since returning from injury and will continue to get around 30 minutes while Josh Hart and Landry Shamet are out.

Miles McBride averages 16.5 points in his four games post-injury, covering this line in three of those games while scoring 20+ on two occasions.

Averaging 14.6 points this season when playing 25+ minutes including covering this line in six of the last eight when doing so, this should be a cover for Deuce.

McBride Over 11.5 Points / Bridges 4+ Assists / Holland 4+ Rebounds

Phoenix Suns @ Houston Rockets (12:10pm)

Amen Thompson

20+ Points

Bet Now

$2.20

Without Alperen Sengun, it’s a huge opportunity for the in-form Amen Thompson to play KD’s right-hand man.

Thompson started the season slowly, but he does average 19.5 points from his last 15 games, hitting 20+ in nine of those game including the last three.

He has had a couple of stinkers in the four games Sengun has missed this season, but he did score 20 against the Pacers a week ago and last time he played the Phoenix he scored 31 without the Turk.

Facing the Suns again, he could produce another big offensive performance for the Rockets.

Thompson Over 17.5 Points / Gillespie 10+ Points / Sheppard 4+ Assists
