Prop Bets: Houston Rockets VS Memphis Grizzlies 2025-11-05
Houston Rockets vs. Memphis Grizzlies: A Lopsided Laugher (With Props!)
The Houston Rockets, fresh off a four-game winning streak and riding a +12.7 scoring margin (second in the NBA), are about to steamroll the injury-riddled Memphis Grizzlies. With key players like Amen Thompson (27 points, 5/9/5 in the last game) and Alperen Sengun (26 points, 11 boards) in peak form, the Rockets are a -8.5 spread favorite at DraftKings. The Grizzlies? They’re missing Tyus Jones, Jaren Jackson Jr. (questionable), and three other rotation players. Let’s just say their net rating is -25.5 right now.
Why the Rockets Will Win
- Rebounding Domination: Houston leads the league in rebounding. Memphis? They’re 24th. This isn’t a contest—it’s a free clinic.
- Kevin Durant’s 3-Point Woes: The GOAT’s shooting 36.7% from deep this season. Bet the house on Under 2.5 3PM for KD (-109 at DraftKings). He’s more likely to miss a layup than hit three threes.
- Alperen Sengun’s Double-Double: He’s a lock for a double-double (-142 at FanDuel). The real question: Will he get a triple-double? Doubt it (875 odds at BetRivers).
Prop Bets to Mock
- Ja Morant’s Assists: He’s averaging 6.5 per game, but with Memphis’ chaos, take Under 6.5 assists (-110).
- Steven Adams’ Rebounds: The Grizzlies’ big man? Under 4.5 rebounds (-125). He’s been outplayed by every toddler with a basketball.
- Kevin Durant’s Triple-Double: +2000 at BetMGM. If he does this, the NBA should retire his jersey… and the ball.
Final Score Prediction
Houston 122, Memphis 105. The Grizzlies will thank you kindly for the 8-point spread.
And if you bet on Memphis, may your faith be as strong as Jaren Jackson Jr.’s injured knee. 🏀🔥
