The Nuggets are hosting the Timberwolves on Wednesday. On DraftKings Sportsbook, Denver is favored by four points and this game carries a total of 235 points.

Below, I have featured my favorite Nikola Jokic prop bet to consider from this contest.

Best Nikola Jokic Prop Bets on DraftKings Sportsbook

Nikola Jokic O 51.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-110)

With Aaron Gordon (calf) doubtful, Jokic is a must-bet for this over. In the 21 starts the MVP candidate has made with Gordon inactive this season, Jokic has been a monster, averaging 31.6 points, 14.6 rebounds and 10.7 assists per game.

This equates to 56.9 PRA per game and Jokic has exceeded 51.5 PRA in 15 of those 21 contests. Jokic’s usage rises 2.3 percentage points to 31.3% with Gordon inactive and while the Timberwolves rank seventh in defensive efficiency, Jokic is matchup proof with Gordon sidelined, especially on his home floor.

Jokic has always been more productive at home throughout his career and the Nuggets carry a high 119.5-point implied team total for tonight on DraftKings Sportsbook, which ranks fourth among the 18 NBA teams in action Wednesday and is proof that we should have hesitations about Jokic in this spot. Not only should the big man clear 51.5 PRA, but a triple-double feels likely and parlaying Jokic for over 51.5 PRA with him for a triple-double has a ton of merit, as Jokic has posted a triple-double in 15 of 21 games without Gordon this season. Combining these two picks on DraftKings Sportsbook results in an appealing +144 price.
