Rockets vs. Thunder Player Props & Best Bets Today: NBA Prop Picks Feb. 7

Kevin Durant and Co. travel to Oklahoma City this afternoon to battle a team without Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, and I'm dropping my best Rockets vs. Thunder player props to get you set for the 3:40 p.m. ET tipoff.

Despite the injuries, the Thunder are still 2.5-point favorites at Paycom Center. I'm expecting Durant to soar over 23.5 points in this one - let's get into it.

💰 Best Rockets vs. Thunder prop bet: Kevin Durant Over 23.5 points (-125)⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Check out all of our NBA analysis and expert predictions this season.

This number is just far too low for Durant. He's averaging 26 points per game this season and is coming off a highly efficient 31 points, shooting 3 of 4 from deep against the Hornets. He's gone over this number in six of his last eight games, and even though he's playing the No. 1-ranked defensive team in the NBA, the Thunder are riddled with injuries - the perimeter defense won't be the same without SGA. There will be a ton of minutes to go around in Oklahoma City this afternoon, which should create mismatches for KD.

🔥 More Thunder vs. Rockets prop picks

Chet Holmgren Under 19.5 points (-120) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Holmgren just hasn't been able to get it done offensively lately, and that won't change against a tough Houston defense. The Rockets have the fourth-best scoring defense, fifth-best shooting defense, and are a top-10 rebounding team. This all means less opportunity for Holmgren, who's gone Under this number in three straight games.

Aaron Wiggins Over 2.5 3-pointers (+122) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Wiggins has been lights out in two of his last three contests and is coming off a 4 of 7 game from 3-point land in the one matchup he's played without SGA. With plenty of scoring to go around this afternoon, I'm expecting much of the same. Fire up this plus-money play with confidence as part of our best Rockets vs. Thunder player props.

🚀 Rockets vs. Thunder SGP

🤔 Is Shai Gilgeous-Alexander playing?

SGA suffered an abdominal injury during Oklahoma City's 128-92 win against the Magic on Feb. 3. Despite the injury, SGA still managed 20 points and nine assists, extending his streak of consecutive 20-point games to 121. Will Gilgeous-Alexander be playing tonight? Gilgeous-Alexander is listed as OUT for today's matchup against the Rockets. He'll be reevaluated after the All-Star break.
