Nikola Jokic has led the Denver Nuggets to five wins in their last six games, entering Friday’s contest against the Miami Heat on a roll.
Coming off an impressive 23-point, 20-rebound, 16-assist triple-double against the Thunder, Jokic has taken center stage with Jamal Murray and Aaron Gordon sidelined. Through eight games, he’s averaging 28.8 points, 13.5 rebounds, and 11.0 assists, which reflects his consistent production across the board.
Here are some of the best Jokic prop bets on DraftKings Sportsbook for Friday’s matchup:
Best Nikola Jokic Prop Bets
Points 26.5 (Over -115 / Under -115): With Jokic handling even more offensive responsibility without Murray, his points line is set at 26.5, giving bettors a balanced option. That said, Murray is questionable to play as he nears a return from concussion protocol. Jokic has exceeded this line in multiple games, making the over a solid consideration. On the other hand, the under is worth a look if you expect Denver to spread the scoring load.
Rebounds 13.5 (Over -105 / Under -125): The rebounding line is set at 13.5, and Jokic is coming off a dominant 20-board performance. He’s averaging 13.5 rebounds per game this season, which puts both the over and under within reach depending on how physical and focused Miami is on the glass.
Assists 9.5 (Over -110 / Under -120): Jokic has been an elite playmaker, averaging 11.0 assists per game. With the assists line set at 9.5, he could again surpass it as Denver’s primary facilitator. The over makes sense with his current role, but the under could come into play if Denver’s secondary players step up.
Threes 1.5 (Over +145 / Under -188): Jokic’s outside shooting adds an intriguing layer to his scoring. He’s made 2.3 threes per game so far, and the over at +145 could be worthwhile for those expecting a few long-range looks.
Points + Rebounds + Assists 49.5 (Over -115 / Under -115): A combined line set at 49.5 for Jokic’s points, rebounds and assists stat line sets a high bar. However, he’s averaging 53.3 total across points, rebounds and assists. The over has potential, especially in a game where he’ll do much of the heavy lifting. For those anticipating a balanced team effort, the under offers solid value, too.
Triple-Double (+105): Jokic’s propensity for triple-doubles is hard to overlook, and at +105, there’s value for bettors expecting him to impact all facets of the game. With his recent triple-double against the Thunder, this prop remains a compelling option as Jokic looks to keep Denver’s momentum going.
