🏀 Timberwolves vs. Rockets Player Props Today: NBA Picks & Best Bets (April 10)
The Houston Rockets carry an eight-game win streak into their matchup against the Minnesota Timberwolves, who have an injury report filled with questionable tags and nothing to play for tonight. Tipoff is 9:30 p.m. ET on Friday in the Toyota Center in Houston (Amazon Prime Video), let's get set with my Timberwolves vs. Rockets player props today.
I've found two different angles for Alperen Sengun in a favorable matchup as part of our NBA picks and best bets.

💰 Best Timberwolves vs. Rockets prop bet
Alperen Sengun Over 14.5 rebounds + assists (-115)
During this eight-game win streak by the Rockets, Sengun is averaging 8.9 rebounds and 6.3 assists. He's cleared this combo line five times over that span, averaging 15.8 rebound chances and 11.3 potential assists.
That form bodes well in this matchup, especially since the Wolves will be without Rudy Gobert. Minnesota ranks 21st in offensive rebounds allowed, and the team's defensive rating is more than nine points worse when Gobert is off the floor (per Databallr).
For what it's worth, Sengun has had this exact combo line in both of his previous head-to-head meetings. He's only cleared this once, but the opportunities have been there. Sengun has recorded 39 rebound chances and 18 potential assists in those two battles.
🔥 More Timberwolves vs. Rockets prop picks
Alperen Sengun double-double (+120)
As evidenced by my first play, I expect Sengun to have a favorable matchup against backup center Naz Reid on Friday. The difference between Gobert and Reid could be most felt on the glass, as Reid's rebound average of 6.2 per game is more than five rebounds fewer than Gobert's season average.
Sengun has been cleaning up on the glass of late, recording 26 rebounds over his past two games. He's notched a double-double in eight of his previous 15 outings over the past month.
At +120, I'm willing to take the chance on Sengun maintaining his recent form against Minnesota.

💡 How I'm betting Timberwolves vs. Rockets
Follow all of our NBA analysis and expert predictions this season.
This game is a prime example of why it's important to be careful with your bankroll this weekend. Our best sportsbooks don't even offer Unders on notable Timberwolves' players like Anthony Edwards, as they don't know if he will play or for how long. They also don't know what to do with the Rockets after their starting lineup change last night, as Reed Sheppard and Josh Okogie's props are unavailable as of this writing.
Basically, if you want to bet on this game, it's probably best to target Sengun, Kevin Durant, or Amen Thompson. I've opted for a pair of props on Sengun in this matchup.
