The Denver Nuggets have started the season slowly. They have lost their first two games to the Oklahoma City Thunder and Los Angeles Clippers. Although the Nuggets have struggled, their superstar Nikola Jokic has still found ways to make an impact. The Nuggets will head to Toronto tonight to play the Raptors at 7:30 p.m. ET.
Jokic had a triple-double of 16 points, 13 assists, and 12 rebounds in his first game against the Thunder. He followed it up with a fantastic performance, scoring 41 points with nine rebounds, four assists and two steals.
Here are player props for Nikola Jokic for the Nuggets game against the Raptors.
Best Nikola Jokic Prop Bets on DraftKings Sportsbook
The lines for Jokic are 27.5 points, 12.5 rebounds, 8.5 assists, and 1.5 steals on DraftKings Sportsbook. Jokic’s two opposite performances during his first two games make it tough to predict which version we will see tonight against the Raptors.
The good news for the Nuggets and Jokic is they are playing the Raptors tonight. The Raptors are 1-2 but are a young team still developing. Jokic doubled his shot attempts from the first game to the second one. If the Nuggets want to win their first game tonight, Jokic will need to be heavily involved in the offense like he was against the Clippers. You can get Jokic over 27.5 points at +110, which is excellent value.
After not having double-digit rebounds on Saturday, Jokic is +110 to record 13 boards on DraftKings Sportsbook. Jokic grabbed 12 rebounds in the first game, including the four preseason games, but he only got over 12.5 once. You can get his under-rebounds at -140, which looks good since he hasn’t been an elite rebounder lately.
The best value of Jokic’s prop bets is over 1.5 steals. Jokic has at least two steals in his previous three games, including the preseason. Over 1.5 steals for Jokic is +120. Jokic is a master at filling up stat sheets, and he should find success against an underwhelming Raptors team. Jokic is -110 to score more than 27.5 points. During 79 regular season games last season, Jokic scored at least 28 points 37 times.
