Nikola Jokic (Denver Nuggets) Under 10.5 Assists (+108)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Denver Nuggets gear up to face the Memphis Grizzlies, the spotlight shines on Nikola Jokic, but not in the way you might expect. While Jokic has dazzled fans with his passing ability, averaging a solid 11.6 assists over his last five games, the numbers suggest he might struggle to hit that 10.5 mark tonight. At home, he's been slightly more generous, averaging 13 assists, but against the Grizzlies, his production dips to about 10.4 assists. With Memphis' defense tightening up recently, it's reasonable to believe Jokic could find himself caught in a more solitary role, especially if the Nuggets look to exploit mismatches elsewhere. Given that the expected stat value sits at 8.8, and with Jokic's playmaking likely spread across more options, the under is a compelling play here. Sometimes, even the best facilitators have off nights, and tonight might just be one of those.

Walter Clayton Jr. (Memphis Grizzlies) Under 21.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-118)

As the Memphis Grizzlies gear up to face the Denver Nuggets, all eyes will be on Walter Clayton Jr. But when you dig into the numbers, it becomes clear that targeting the under on his combined points, rebounds, and assists makes a lot of sense. In his last five games, Clayton Jr. has averaged just 11.6 points, 2.2 rebounds, and 6.6 assists-totaling about 20.4, which is already below that 21.5 mark. Even on the road, where he typically puts up 14.4 points, his overall production against the Nuggets is telling; he averages just 5 points and 2 rebounds against them. With a solid hit rate of 11 out of the last 14 for the under, it's hard to ignore the trajectory he's on. If he struggles to find his rhythm in Denver, we could see him well under that threshold.

Nikola Jokic (Denver Nuggets) Under 23.5 Rebounds + Assists (-108)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Nuggets gear up to face the Grizzlies at home, it might be wise to lean towards the under on Nikola Jokic's combined rebounds and assists total of 23.5. While Jokic is a phenomenal player, his recent numbers suggest he may not hit that lofty mark tonight. In his last five games, he's averaged 13.8 rebounds and 11.6 assists-solid, but that brings him to around 25, which sounds promising until you consider his performance against Memphis. Historically, he's averaged just 14 rebounds and 10.4 assists against them at home. With the Nuggets likely focusing on a more balanced offensive approach, it's easy to see Jokic's numbers dipping as he shares the floor with other scoring threats. Given that he's hit the under in two of his last three home games, this trend bodes well for those looking to capitalize on this prop bet.
