Best Kings-Rockets Player Prop: Will Kevin Huerter Bounce Back? (February 8)

The Houston Rockets will host the Sacramento Kings for the second time in three days on Wednesday evening. The Kings just took down the Rockets by a 20-point margin on Monday as the teams combined for a whopping 260 points. Bettors looking for an edge on Wednesday’s Rockets-Kings game should tail this NBA player prop at DraftKings — the book has left a bit much value on the Kevin Huerter player prop markets.

Best Kings-Rockets NBA Player Prop | Kevin Huerter

Kevin Huerter Prop O/U 2.5 3-Pointers 

Huerter shot only 2-for-7 against the Rockets on Monday, failing to cash this prop, but he should get the job done on Wednesday. The Rockets have allowed the most 3-pointers per game (14.6) and the second-most to shooting guards (3.7). Opposing teams have done that damage almost exclusively from the top of the key — Houston has surrendered the most above-the-break 3’s per game (11.2).

Houston’s perimeter defense is terrible compared to the rest of the league. The Rockets have given up 1.3 more above-the-break 3’s than the next-worst team, the Memphis Grizzlies (9.9). There is a wider gap between Houston and Memphis than between Memphis and the 11th-best Utah Jazz (8.8). Recent lowlights include surrendering eight triples to Huerter’s teammate, Keegan Murray, and giving up five to Oklahoma City’s Isaiah Joe.

Huerter underperformed on Monday and is stuck in a bit of a cold spell. He hasn’t made three or more triples in six games, a streak that coincides with Sacramento’s ongoing road trip. However, this is currently Huerter’s longest streak of games without at least three triples dating back to early last season. Huerter has made an impressive 39.7% of his 3’s — and 40.7% of them from above the break — this year. Look for him to get things turned around on Wednesday.

DraftKings Sportsbook has opened the bidding on the over at +100 because of Huerter’s recent struggles. But this is the perfect spot for Huerter to bounce back, especially since he’ll be familiar with Houston’s arena after Monday’s game — and since the Rockets are likely to focus some of their defensive attention on Keegan Murray. Bettors should head to DraftKings for the best price on the market. Users yet to register there can secure $200 in bonus bets after placing a $5 wager!
