Sengun questionable vs. Memphis
Alperen Sengun (calf) is questionable for Thursday’s game against Memphis. Sengun lands on the Rockets’ injury report after logging 29 minutes in Tuesday’s win over Atlanta. The calf issue likely impacted the center’s playing time, and an absence would leave a sizable void in the Houston rotation. Steven Adams will likely be the next man up if Sengun sits, with Jock Landale playing more minutes off the bench.
Jackson Jr. shoots ball well in loss to Knicks
Jaren Jackson Jr. shot 8-of-14 from the field and 2-of-2 from the foul line in Monday’s loss to the Knicks, tallying 21 points, four rebounds, two blocks, and three 3-pointers in 33 minutes. While Jackson shot the ball well on Monday, he didn’t offer much beyond points and blocked shots in arguably Memphis’ worst performance of the season. The Grizzlies committed 26 turnovers as a team, with Jackson tallying four. His 9-cat value took a hit, but 8-cat managers don’t have much to worry about. If there has been an issue recently for “Trip,” it’s been the decreased rebounding and defensive production. Slight drops in those categories are why he’s only been a top-60 player over the past two weeks.
Rockets vs. Grizzlies NBA Prediction:
Take the over. In the last 10 meetings between these two teams, the over is 6-3-1. The under hasn’t hit in four straight meetings between these two teams. The over is also 6-3-1 in the Rockets’ last 10 games overall and hit twice in Houston’s last three games. On the other side, the over is 7-2-1 in the Grizzlies’ last 10 games overall.
Rockets vs. Grizzlies Betting Prediction: OVER 237.5
