Nikola Jokic is off to another strong season, averaging a triple-double with 29.6 points, 12.6 rebounds and 10.3 assists through seven games.
The Nuggets have leaned on Jokic’s all-around production to offset injuries to key players, including Jamal Murray and Aaron Gordon, throughout the early portion of the season.
On Wednesday, when the Nuggets face the undefeated Oklahoma City Thunder, Jokic will be relied on heavily to set the tone and stifle an opponent that has won each of its seven games.
Here are the best prop bets on DraftKings Sportsbook for Nikola Jokic heading into Wednesday’s game:
Best Nikola Jokic Prop Bets
Prop lines for Jokic include points (26.5), rebounds (12.5), assists (9.5) and a combined points + rebounds + assists (49.5) line. Here’s a breakdown of the main options:
Points 26.5 (Over -110 / Under -120): Jokic’s points line is 26.5 with balanced odds. Averaging 29.6 points this season and coming off a 28-point outing against Toronto, Jokic has consistently surpassed this line. Given his scoring consistency, the Over may hold value, while the Under could attract bettors expecting defensive adjustments from the Thunder.
Rebounds 12.5 (Over -130 / Under +100): The rebounds line for Jokic sits at 12.5, with the Over slightly favored. His season average of 12.6 boards per game makes the Over appealing, especially with Denver’s frontcourt depth limited by Gordon’s absence. However, the Under provides value for those not anticipating him pulling down 13 boards since that’s a high bar set to achieve.
Assists 9.5 (Over -115 / Under -115): Jokic’s assists line is set at 9.5, reflecting his high playmaking role. Averaging 10.3 assists per game, Jokic has consistently hit double-digit dimes, making the Over attractive. The Under may appeal for those expecting fewer opportunities if the Nuggets need him more as a primary scorer.
Points + Rebounds + Assists 49.5 (Over -110 / Under -120): With a combined line of 49.5, bettors have a balanced option to cover all aspects of Jokic’s game. His season averages add up to 52.5 in these categories, making the Over a solid choice if he maintains his form. The Under offers an alternative if the Thunder limits Jokic’s production across multiple categories.
Triple-Double (+115): Jokic is listed at +115 to record a triple-double, which he’s averaging this season and accomplished against Toronto. With his ability to impact scoring, rebounding and playmaking, this option provides solid value for bettors expecting another all-around performance. Consider that he already has a triple-double in three of his seven performances this season.
