Best Nikola Jokic Prop Bets on DraftKings Sportsbook
Nikola Jokic O 51.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-115)
With the Western Conference such a tight race, every game is important for the Nuggets for the rest of the season. They currently are the fourth seed with only four games remaining, but Denver could drop all the way down to the No.8 seed if they keep losing. The Nuggets have dropped three games in a row and finishing with at least the sixth seed is crucial, as seeds seven-through-ten will compete in the Play-In Tournament.
With so much at stake every night, Jokic has been a force, averaging 29.9 points, 13.2 rebounds and 10.0 assists per game since the All-Star break. The center has topped 51.5 PRA in three of his last four starts and Sunday presents an excellent matchup vs. the Pacers. Since the All-Star break, Indiana ranks eighth in pace and they are allowing the third-most points in the paint. Jokic ranks third in paint points this season and this game carries a huge 241-point total on DraftKings Sportsbook, which is the second-highest of the 11 NBA games on the schedule Sunday.
To put a cherry on top, this game will be in Denver. Jokic has notoriously been more productive on his home floor throughout his career and in the three home games this season that have carried a total of at least 240 points, Jokic is averaging 53.3 PRA per game. The center is an excellent bet for over 51.5 PRA tonight and attacking this over quickly is wise, as Jamal Murray (questionable, hamstring) being ruled out would certainly move this combo line up for Jokic. In the 10 starts he has made without Murray this season, Jokic has been a monster with 36.3 points, 12.8 rebounds and 9.8 assists per game.
