The Denver Nuggets sit fourth in the Western Conference at 23-15 thanks to the sublime stat lines of Serbian superstar Nikola Jokic. The three-time NBA MVP is arguably on track to lock down the award for the fourth time with averages of 31.2 points, 13.2 rebounds, and 9.8 assists per game.
Here are the top Jokic player props for tonight when the Nuggets face off with the Dallas Mavericks.
Best Nikola Jokic prop bets on DraftKings Sportsbook
For Tuesday’s contest between the Nuggets and Mavericks, Jokic’s lines are currently set at 29.5 points, 13.5 rebounds, 9.5 assists, and 1.5 three-pointers on DraftKings Sportsbook.
Across his last five contests, Jokic has surpassed the 30-point mark three times. He posted 41 and 46 points in back-to-back outings before being sidelined due to illness earlier this month. Since returning on January 10, he put up 35 points before a more moderate 19-point showing on Sunday night against Dallas.
The Mavericks have a great defensive center rotation thanks to Dereck Lively II and Daniel Gafford filling out the five, so approaching Jokic’s points line with a bit of hesitancy is understandable. However, the big man gobbles up rebounds like none other, and his eye for setting up teammates is unmatched by any center in NBA history.
Focusing on the rebounding could be a beneficial strategy. Jokic pulled down an impressive 18 boards last time out against the Mavericks, so at -105 odds, targeting over 13.5 rebounds may be the move in this clash of Western Conference contenders.
Alternatively, consider taking the over on Jokic’s PTS + AST line of 22.5 at -140 odds. The superstar will certainly be involved across both categories.
