The Rockets will host the Warriors in the NBA Playoffs on Sunday night. With a record of 52-30, the Rockets are the 2-seed in the Western Conference and will be making their first playoff appearance since 2020. The Warriors led the regular season series 3-2 against Houston and are the betting favorite to win this series despite being the 7-seed.

NBA Parlay Picks for Sunday, April 20

- Buddy Hield Under 1.5 Assists

Rockets Moneyline
Rockets vs Warriors, 9:30 p.m. ET
I do not recall a second-seeded team being more disrespected than the Rockets. Houston was the second-best road team in the West at home this year, with a record of 29-12.
The Rockets know they must defend home court in this series and should be able to earn a home win tonight.
Pick: Rockets Moneyline
Jimmy Butler Over 21.5 Points
Rockets vs Warriors, 9:30 p.m. ET
We will ride with Playoff Jimmy for the second leg of this parlay. Jimmy Butler has a knack for stepping up in the big game and will likely do so again tonight.
Butler has exceeded this number in four consecutive games. The volume Butler will see bodes well for this prop. Our Action Pro Report projects 25.0 points.
Pick: Jimmy Butler Over 21.5 Points
Buddy Hield Under 1.5 Assists
Rockets vs Warriors, 9:30 p.m. ET
Buddy Hield has seen his minutes go down lately. Hield logged 12 minutes in the Warriors' win over the Grizzlies earlier this week, and has failed to exceed this number in eight of his last nine games.
Our Action Pro Report projects 0.7 assists.
Pick: Buddy Hield Under 1.5 Assists
