SGM: Alperen Sengun to have 40+ Points, Rebounds & Assists @ $2.02<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/use><\/svg><\/span>\n <\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
\n

I like this one a lot. Sengun has quietly gone into full stat-pad mode, and even with Kevin Durant now in the mix, his production hasn\u2019t dipped, it\u2019s gone the other way.<\/p>\n

The Houston big man is averaging a career-best 23 points per game, while also pulling down just over 9 rebounds and dishing out 7 assists. That all adds up quickly.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s cleared 40+ PRA in 4 of his last 5 games, with the only miss coming against Denver. This shapes as a much friendlier spot against Sacramento, especially with Domantas Sabonis sidelined. If Sengun gets his usual run, the numbers should be there again.<\/p>\n

Washington Wizards<\/div>\n
vs<\/div>\n
San Antonio Spurs<\/div>\n
Monday 22nd December 2025 10:00am<\/div>\n
Stephon Castle Over 24.5 Points & Assists @ $1.82<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/use><\/svg><\/span>\n <\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
\n

Second crack at Washington in a week, and I\u2019m buying Stephon Castle to be more involved this time around.<\/p>\n

He still managed 24 points and 5 assists in just 25 minutes in the earlier meeting thanks to it being the first leg of a back-to-back for San Antonio. That shouldn\u2019t be an issue here.<\/p>\n

With a break coming up over the Christmas period, Castle should see extra minutes, and the match-up is as friendly as it gets.<\/p>\n

Washington plays at pace and owns the worst defence in the league, which is exactly what you want when backing points and assists. Plenty of scoring opportunities coming up.<\/p>\n
