The Nuggets are hosting the Celtics on Tuesday. On DraftKings Sportsbook, Boston is favored by six points and game presents a total of 235 points.
Below, I have featured my favorite Nikola Jokic prop to consider from this contest.
Best Nikola Jokic Prop Bets on DraftKings Sportsbook
Nikola Jokic O 50.5 PRA (-105)
With Aaron Gordon (calf) remaining out and the defending champion Celtics in town, Jokic should put on a show Tuesday night. In the 14 starts the center has made with Gordon inactive this season, Jokic has been godly with 33.9 points, 14.4 rebounds, and 10.8 assists per game. He has exceeded 50.5 PRA in 12 of these 14 contests. With Gordon off the floor this season, Jokic’s usage rises 2.5 percentage points to 33.5% and his assist rate increases 2.6 percentage points to 42%.
Jokic has been a more productive player on his home floor throughout his career and while Boston ranks fifth in defensive efficiency, Jokic is simply matchup proof right now with Gordon out of the lineup. Furthermore, Jokic should be highly motivated to prove that the Nuggets are still a legitimate contender and that can beat the Celtics, who are the current betting favorites to win the NBA title at +235 on the DraftKings Sportsbook.
Denver is a six-point underdog for this marquee matchup and Jokic has cleared 50.5 PRA in all three of the games he has competed as an underdog with Gordon out this season. Plain and simple, this 50.5 PRA combo line is too low for Jokic this evening, and he must be backed for this over.
