Rockets vs. Kings Props & Prediction Today – Wednesday, Dec. 3
The Kings are in the midst of a forgettable first quarter of the season that’s seen Sacramento go 5-16 over it first 21 games despite a roster filled with plenty of big names. The Kings check into Wednesday’s matchup with three straight losses, and 11 defeats in their last 12 contests overall.
The Rockets have essentially had a diametrically opposite experience over the first month-plus of the current campaign, posting a 13-5 record, including a 5-2 mark at Toyota Center. Ime Udoka’s squad is coming off a largely successful four-game road trip that saw Houston go 3-1.
Here are the most popular players on Underdog NBA for this matchup:
The three most popular plays for Wednesday’s matchup are Alperen Sengun, Kevin Durant, and Keegan Murray.
Sengun is averaging a career-best 22.8 points and 7.3 assists, while also shooting a career-best (by a wide margin) 39.2% from three-point range.
KD has contributed 28.5 points, 8.0 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 1.5 steals since returning from a two-game absence due to a personal issue, and he’s averaging over 25.0 points per contest for 17th consecutive season in his Rockets debut campaign.
Finally, Murray is quickly making up for lost time after a delayed start to the season due to a thumb injury, averaging 19.8 points, 7.8 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 2.6 steals, and 1.6 blocks over his last five games since a quiet Nov. 20 debut.

Houston Rockets Props & Prediction Today
The Rockets are an impressive 8-2 over the last 10 games, and they boast a robust +11.4-point average scoring margin at Toyota Center this season while being led by the standout play of Durant and the ascending Sengun.
However, Houston did get swept by Sacramento in last season’s three-game series, dropping its one game at home by 10 points.
Sacramento Kings Props & Prediction Today
The Kings are just 2-9 on the road, although that pair of victories notably came against the Bucks and Nuggets.
DeMar DeRozan, Zach LaVine, Murray, and Russell Westbrook are all shouldering bigger workloads at the moment in the absence of Domantas Sabonis (knee), who remains out Wednesday.

Alperen Sengun Props Today
As mentioned earlier, Sengun is averaging a career-best 22.8 points and 7.3 assists per contest, figures he’s complemented with 9.1 rebounds, a career-high-tying 1.2 steals, and a career-best 1.1 blocks per contest. In addition to his aforementioned career-best success rate from deep, Sengun is also shooting a crisp 50.2% overall, and he’s taking a career-high 17.1 shot attempts per game at home (Basketball Reference)
He also posted a pair of double-doubles in his three games against Sacramento last season while shooting between 50% and 62.5% in each contest. Sengun could well be due to continue building on that success Wednesday, as the Kings have allowed 30.6 points and 17.6 rebounds per game to centers in the last seven contests (FantasyPros).
Our top play overall: Alperen Sengun > 22.5 Points
Keegan Murray Props Today
Murray checks in on his previously alluded to five-game hot streak, one where he’s connecting on 48.1% of his 15.8 shot attempts per contest and also draining 82.4% of his 3.4 free-throw tries per game (Basketball Reference).
Murray put together a solid three-game body of work against Houston last season as well, averaging 14.7 points, 7.7 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.0 blocks across 37.5 minutes over the three games. Therefore, his Higher/Lower prop of 16.5 points is a viable consideration.
