NBA Best Bets: Top Nikola Jokic player props for Nuggets at Pacers

By: Keagan Smith

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic is a true game-breaker, averaging a career-high 29.4 points and 10.2 assists to go along with 12.7 rebounds per game.

The Serbian star suits up tonight to face the Indiana Pacers at 7 p.m. EST. Here’s some of the top Jokic prop bets available on DraftKings Sportsbook.

Best Nikola Jokic prop bets on DraftKings Sportsbook

Jokic’s prop lines on DraftKings Sportsbook for tonight sit at 27.5 points, 12.5 rebounds, and 9.5 assists. His PTS + REB + AST O/U sits at 50.5.

The Pacers are an appealing matchup for the big man — they rank 19th in defensive rating, 25th in opponent points in the paint, 28th in team rebounds, and sixth in pace. This is a spot Jokic could absolutely dominate in multiple stat categories.

The strategy for betting Jokic’s lines tonight should be simple, just target those overs.

The 50.5 mark for the center’s PTS + REB + AST line seems high at first glance, but he’s exceeded that number in 30 of 51 contests this season. Jokic is one of the best all-around contributors in the NBA, if not the top guy in that regard. The odds on this line currently sit at -115 odds for both the over and under, but the over feels like a better bet given its hit rate on 50.5 PTS + REB + AST.

Over 27.5 points also feels like a solid bet at -120 odds. While Jokic is coming off a rare 12-point game against the Lakers, he should be in a positive position to bounce back tonight against a weak defense. Targeting this over isn’t bad value since it’s hit 28 out of 51 times this season, but taking the three-time MVP’s alt line of 30+ points is another way to get plus-value at +115 odds.
