We have another small slate on Thursday, as just 10 teams are in action across the association.
One of the marquee matchups on this slate is Clippers vs. Nuggets, which will take place in Los Angeles at 10:00 p.m. ET.
In this article, I’m going to break down my favorite NBA player prop on DraftKings Sportsbook for Thursday’s Nuggets-Clippers game. Without further ado, let’s get into it.

Los Angeles Clippers vs. Denver Nuggets
Ivica Zubac Under 21.5 Points + Rebounds (+105)
With all due respect to Zubac, this under isn’t really even about him.
It’s about the juggernaut he’ll be lining up against tonight in Crypto.com Arena.
Nikola Jokic tends to be a tough matchup for whichever center is assigned with attempting to contain him. For the 27-year-old Zubac, he’s no exception to the rule. L.A.’s big man has struggled mightily against the best player in the NBA over the years, going under this combined points and rebounds total in four of his last five regular season meetings with the Nuggets.
Not only does Jokic often get the opposing center in foul trouble early, but his offensive skillset requires complete focus on that side of the ball, leaving less energy than usual for offensive production. Zubac doesn’t score much as is, but that dip has been noticeable in his recent matchups against the Joker, as he’s failed to hit the double-digit points mark in four of his last five contests.
Zubac has actually been pretty solid over the last few weeks, playing more minutes than usual and racking up the points and boards on a relatively consistent basis. That said, when it comes to Jokic, I’m confidently rolling with the under here, especially at plus-money.
