The Denver Nuggets look to extend their five-game winning streak as they visit the Phoenix Suns on Saturday night. Nikola Jokic continues to play at an elite level, coming off his NBA-leading 24th triple-double in a 112-90 win over the Orlando Magic.
Meanwhile, the Suns snapped a three-game losing streak with a thrilling 135-127 overtime victory against the Utah Jazz on Friday. Devin Booker delivered a season-high 47 points, while Grayson Allen forced overtime with back-to-back threes in the final seconds of regulation. However, the Suns remain shorthanded, with Kevin Durant (ankle) and Bradley Beal (toe) uncertain for Saturday’s matchup.
Here is a featured Jokic prop bet on DraftKings Sportsbook for this Western Conference showdown.
Best Nikola Jokic Prop Bets on DraftKings Sportsbook
Nikola Jokic over 52.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-110)
Jokic has been dominant all season, averaging 29.7 points, 12.7 rebounds and 10.3 assists in 46 games. With Michael Porter Jr. (hamstring) and Jamal Murray (knee) questionable, Jokic could take on even more offensive responsibility.
The Suns’ interior defense lacks a dominant presence to slow down Jokic, and if Phoenix continues to struggle with injuries, expect Denver to exploit the mismatch inside.
In his last game, Jokic recorded 28 points, 12 assists and 10 rebounds against Orlando, and he now faces a Suns team that has struggled against elite big men. Phoenix is also on the second night of a back-to-back, making fatigue a potential factor.
Given Jokic’s all-around production and Denver’s need for him to carry the load, the circumstances favor him to exceed this total once again. Expect another high-impact performance from the three-time MVP as the Nuggets aim to close their road trip with a statement win.
