Best Nikola Jokic Prop Bets on DraftKings Sportsbook
Nikola Jokic O 21.5 Assists + Rebounds (-135)
The Nuggets need to defeat the Rockets on Sunday to clinch the No.4 seed in the Western Conference, while Houston has nothing at stake, as they are locked into the No.2 seed. With every game important for Denver as of late, Jokic has been dominating as a playmaker and a rebounder.
The three-time MVP has notched three straight triple-doubles and since the All-Star break, Jokic is averaging 13.4 rebounds and 10.4 assists per game. During this timeframe, the center is handling a 38.8% assist percentage and 37.4% rebound percentage, both of which are incredible rates.
The Rockets rank fourth in defensive rating this season, but their starters shouldn’t see their usual workloads and Houston’s defense should be much weaker than usual. With Houston having nothing to play for in their last two, they have allowed a whopping 137 PPG. The Nuggets carry a large 120-point implied team total on DraftKings Sportsbook and for the five occasions Jokic has played behind an implied team total of at least 120 points this season, he is averaging 25.4 AR per game and he has exceeded 21.5 AR in all five of these games.
