Nikola Jokic is one of the best players in the game, for both real life and fantasy. He’s efficient, stuffs the stat sheet and is a threat to triple-double on any given night. In the opening game of the season against the Oklahoma City Thunder, Jokic notched his 149th career triple-double with 16 points, 12 rebounds and 13 assists.

What’s in store for Saturday’s game against the Los Angeles Clippers?

Here are some intriguing player props for Nikola Jokic on DraftKings Sportsbook against the Clippers:

Best Nikola Jokic Prop Bets on DraftKings Sportsbook

While Jokic did triple-double on Thursday, the Thunder have done a decent job “containing” him. In three games against the Thunder last season, Jokic went for 28 points, 14 rebounds and five assists, good for a combined total of 47 in the first meeting. In the second game, Jokic had 24 points, six rebounds and 12 assists, totaling 42. In the final game, Jokic had 19 points, 10 rebounds and seven assists, good for 36.

The story was different in three games against the Clippers last season. Jokic went for 36 points, 17 rebounds and 10 assists in oen game, 22 points, 15 rebounds and 10 assists in the second and 32 points, 16 rebounds and nine assists in the final meeting. The combined points+rebounds+assists totaled 63, 47 and 57.

As of 10:36 PM ET on Friday, DK Sportsbook has the combined Points+Rebounds+Assists for 50+ at +125. You can get 55+ at +300. If you’re feeling saucy, 60+ is +650.

Jokic has had success against Ivica Zubac in the past and I think the trend continues on Saturday.

Stan joined DraftKings in December of 2020. It was a glorious time, except for that whole COVID thing, when we got Madden streams and boisterous bat flips from the KBO. I was brought on board to bring some West Coast flavor. I especially love hoops, and most of my content is in that arena. When I walk along the beach, strumming my guitar, the beat that I hear is not one of crashing waves. No, it is the beat of the ball bouncing off the hardwood with highs provided by the squeaks of the sneakers. Ball is life.
