Amen Thompson (Houston Rockets) Under 12.5 Rebounds + Assists (-141)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Rockets head into Denver, all eyes will be on Amen Thompson, but I see a compelling case for betting the under on his combined rebounds and assists at 12.5. Despite showing flashes of potential, Thompson has averaged just 7.6 rebounds and 2.8 assists over his last five games. When playing away, his numbers dip slightly, with averages of 7.8 rebounds and 3.8 assists-still well below our target.Against the Nuggets, Thompson's stats paint an even clearer picture. In their recent matchups, he's recorded an average of 9 rebounds but hasn't logged a single assist. That's right-zero assists in his last five against Denver. With the Nuggets' strong home court advantage and their knack for stifling young talent, it's hard to envision Thompson surpassing the 12.5 mark. This bet feels like a solid play, especially with an implied probability hovering around 58.5%.

Nikola Jokic (Denver Nuggets) Over 27.5 Points (-130)

When the Denver Nuggets face off against the Houston Rockets, all eyes should be on Nikola Jokic to light up the scoreboard. Not only is he averaging 28 points over his last five outings, but he's also proven to be a reliable scorer at home, hitting over 27.5 points in over half of his last 14 games in Denver. The Rockets, while competitive, have shown vulnerabilities against elite big men, and Jokic has capitalized before, averaging 28.6 points in their recent matchups. With expectations set at 30.02 points for this game, it feels like we're getting a bargain at over 27.5. Jokic thrives in high-stakes home games, and with an implied probability of 56.5%, it's hard to ignore the potential for a standout performance. If you're looking for a solid player prop, Jokic's scoring prowess makes this one a must-consider.
