The Denver Nuggets sit third in the Western Conference at 34-19 behind the MVP-caliber play of Nikola Jokic. Tonight, the Serbian center and his squad take on a young Trail Blazers team in the midst of a surprising surge, winning 10 of their last 12 contests.
Here’s a couple of player props for Jokic on DraftKings Sportsbook in Monday night’s 9 p.m. EST clash.
Best Nikola Jokic prop bets on DraftKings Sportsbook
For tonight’s contest between the Nuggets and Trail Blazers, Jokic’s lines are currently set at 27.5 points, 11.5 rebounds, 10.5 assists, and 1.5 three-pointers on DraftKings Sportsbook.
Jokic’s rebounding lines are certainly options to target tonight. The big man is tied for the NBA’s third-best mark in rebounds per game with an average of 12.7. With a line of O/U 11.5, the over is definitely worth a look at -110 odds.
Yes, it’s a slight concern that Jokic has gone under that 11.5 line in three of his last five and six of his last 10, however, this is an exception, not the norm. Over his last 15 games, Joker has exceeded 11.5 boards nine times. In a season-long sample, he’s gone over 11.5 in 29 of 47 appearances, too, a 61.7% clip. His recent slump has created these better odds at -110 than this line would typically hold, so I’m more than comfortable jumping on it.
Another enticing prop for tonight’s game is over 1.5 three-pointers for the center at -130 odds. Jokic is one of the most efficient shooters from beyond the arc across the entire league this season, connecting on 46.2% of his attempts. He averages 2.1 made threes per game, too. To top it off, over 1.5 3PM has hit in seven of Jokic’s last 10 games, and he’s made at least one shot from deep in every one of those contests.
