Sengun posted arguably his worst stat line of the season when he went for 8/6/4 against Denver in his last game out. The only way for him to go is up, and considering he hit the Over in five straight prior to his dud against the Nuggets, I'll bet on Sengun going for at least 40 PRA tonight.

This year, opposing starting PFs have averaged 21.7% on 3-pointers (lowest in the NBA) against the Houston Rockets, labeling this as a tough matchup.. The Rockets have played at the 2nd-most sluggish pace-of-play in the NBA this year, which ought to lead to decreased possessions for the Kings.. The Sacramento Kings check in as the 3rd-worst offensive rebounding offense in the league this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them can therefore eliminate extra opportunities for scoring and assists).
