Best Nikola Jokic Prop Bet on DraftKings Sportsbook
Over 50.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-110)
Jokic has been a dominant force this season, averaging 29.6 points, 12.8 rebounds and 10.1 assists through 42 games. His ability to contribute across all facets of the game makes this line intriguing, especially against a Hornets team that has struggled defensively.
The Nuggets’ star big man is coming off a strong performance in Philadelphia, posting 28 points, 13 assists and nine rebounds despite his team’s turnover struggles.
Against a Charlotte squad missing LaMelo Ball and dealing with inconsistency, Jokic is in an excellent position to exploit mismatches and rack up numbers in what could be a challenging offensive performance for the Hornets. With Charlotte emphasizing playing fast, opportunities could be added to put up stats.
The Hornets tend to have a very undersized unit when Mark Williams isn’t on the floor. If Jokic catches this group during the game, he could put up a lot of stats in a hurry.
Charlotte has allowed some of the most dynamic performances from opposing stars this season, and with Denver playing the second night of a back-to-back, Jokic could set the tone for his team. With his high-usage role and elite efficiency, the circumstances favor him to exceed 50.5 combined points, rebounds and assists in this matchup.
