The Houston Rockets and Golden State Warriors meet in a star-studded matchup on Wednesday night.
The pregame narrative: Kevin Durant will miss this game against his old team, but that hardly zaps the starpower split between these two rosters. Steph Curry and Alperen Sengun are two of those talented stars, and they headline my SGP for tonight.
Check out my Rockets vs. Warriors SGP predictions for Nov. 26, featuring Curry, Sengun and Reed Sheppard.

Rockets vs. Warriors SGP predictions
Parlay: Curry 25+ points | Sengun over 22.5 points | Sheppard 3+ threes (+340)
Curry 25+ points (-167): Curry is aging like fine wine, putting up 28.8 points per game on 39.9% 3-point shooting.
That’s elite efficiency for a guy who leads the NBA with 12.2 three-point attempts a night.
Plus, he’s on an absolute heater ahead of Wednesday’s contest:
- Since returning to the lineup on Nov. 11, Curry is averaging 31.1 points and is 5-2 against this line.
- During that time, he had two 40-point performances.

The volume is also encouraging as he took 20.7 shots and 13.3 threes per game over that stretch.
If he’s going to continue shooting close to 50% from the field and 40% from 3, this first leg should be stress-free.
NBA SGP legs
Sengun over 22.5 points (-134): The Warriors are an above-average defensive team, but they lack the size down low to contain elite bigs.
In fact, they allow the fifth most points per game to opposing centres (24.49), per Fantasy Pros.
Draymond Green is aging while being undersized, and centres Quentin Post and Trayce Jackson-Davis aren’t yet ready to provide big minutes.
That brings me to Sengun, who is emerging as one of the most talented bigs in the NBA.
He’s scoring 22.4 points per game on a blistering 44.2% from 3.
The other positive is that he’s played 30+ minutes in all but one game this season. This should be another close game, meaning lots of time and opportunity for Sengun.
In the past eight games, he’s 5-3 against this line.
-> Back Curry and Sengun on Wednesday night
Sheppard 3+ threes (-190): Following a disappointing rookie season, Sheppard has improved a lot in Year 2, allowing him to become a staple on a championship contender.
The sophomore plays 24.1 minutes per game and is a sharpshooter. He takes 5.8 threes per night and hits them at a 47.1% clip.
So when the volume’s there, there’s a good chance he’s nailing a handful of 3-pointers.
With Durant sidelined tonight, more looks will open up for Sheppard, and that potential increase in volume has me confident he can knock down a few from beyond the arc.
