The Nuggets are visiting the Magic on Sunday. On DraftKings Sportsbook, Denver is favored by eight points and this game presents a total of 223 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 U 47.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-115)

Jokic has stayed under this number in three straight games and he is a strong bet for under 47.5 PRA on Sunday. The Nuggets will have all three of Jokic, Jamal Murray and Aaron Gordon available and Jokic has fell short of 47.5 PRA in two of the last eight games he has played alongside Murray and Gordon.

With both Murray and Gordon on the court this season, Jokic’s workload sees a significant downgrade, with his usage, assist and rebounds rates dropping 4.9, 5.0 and 3.5 percentage points, respectively.

Jokic is also in a very poor spot Sunday. The center is on the road and going against a Magic team that ranks dead last in pace and second in defensive efficiency. This 47.5 PRA combo line is just too high for Jokic on Sunday and backing him for this under is a smart move.
