The last time Nikola Jokic played, he posted 56 and 48 points on back-to-back nights. The MVP frontrunner and Nuggets had nearly a full week off afterward.
Jokic somehow continues to exceed the high expectations set for him each season. He’s averaging 32.3 points, 13.6 rebounds and 10.2 assists per game on 56.1 percent shooting and 50 percent from three.
The Nuggets have a matchup against the Clippers tonight at home. On DraftKings Sportsbook, the Nuggets are 6-point favorites against the Clippers with the point total set at 227.
Below, I’ve highlighted my favorite prop bets centered around Jokic.
Best Nikola Jokic Prop Bets on DraftKings Sportsbook
Nikola Jokic over 1.5 three-pointers made (-140)
Jokic’s prop lines are lofty considering his ability to do just about anything on the offensive end. He averages a triple double and surpasses 50-plus points, rebounds and assists on a nightly basis.
One prop that doesn’t get as much love is his three-pointers made line. Jokic is shooting 50 percent from deep on 4.4 attempts per game this season. It’s not only an increase in percentage but an increase in volume across his career.
Jokic averages 2.2 three-pointers made per game and that’s been reflected in his recent games. The Nuggets superstar has made at least two three-pointers in nine of his last 10 outings. He’s also hit the mark in 13 of 19 games this season.
While teams shoot just 34.4 percent from three against the Clippers, Jokic is an exception to a lot of rules and trends. He’s going to get his buckets no matter who is guarding him.
Ivica Zubac isn’t an easy matchup, but Jokic will prevail. He may even prefer to shoot from the outside rather than banging down low with Zubac. Jokic shot 7-12 and 2-7 from distance in the two games against the Clippers this season.
Both surpass the 1.5 prop line, and he’s also shooting at a high volume. It speaks to Jokic’s willingness to take his game to the perimeter and why this three-pointers made prop is so valuable.
