Chet Holmgren only averages 28.9 minutes per game on the season but with Isaiah Hartenstein out and a matchup with the Houston Rockets on deck, I think we will definitely see Holmgren play north of 30 minutes on Thursday. Holmgren can protect the rim against Alperen Sengun but also comfortable switch on to Kevin Durant in any two many actions they run, he's an important piece to their puzzle in this matchup. The Rockets also struggle guarding a stretch 5 center who will stop and pop trailer threes or relocate for jumshots after pick and roll actions. That's sets up well for Holmgren to work off of the gravity of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and the pressure he will put on the Rockets defense. This prop is available at +102 but I think it should be trading at -145.

Holmgren is averaging 10.3 RPG so far in January, and he grabbed 10 boards on Tuesday as OKC held San Antonio to just 98 points. Holmgren has now finished with 9+ rebounds in nine of his last 10 outings, making this Over a standout prop pick.

The matchup vs. Houston is a challenging one; when the Houston Rockets are playing at home, they have allowed the 2nd-least points per game in the league to the opposing team's starting PGs over the last 10 games (12.8).. The Thunder will likely experience a decrease in opportunities in this contest from competing against the most lethargic pace team in the NBA over the last 25 games (the Rockets).. Offensive rebounds retain possession and lead to bonus opportunities for scoring and assists, but the Thunder grade out 1stworst in in the NBA as the away team with just 9.1 offensive rebounds per game this year.. The matchup against Houston may be a challenging one for drawing fouls; the opposition's starting PGs have attempted a mere 1.7 foul shots per game over the last 10 games when the Rockets have the home court advantage (least in the NBA).

The 9th-speediest tempo offense in the NBA over the last 5 games has been the Oklahoma City Thunder.
