Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Denver Nuggets gear up to face the Memphis Grizzlies, all eyes will be on Nikola Jokic, but there's a compelling case to consider him for under 10.5 assists. While Jokic has dazzled with an average of 13 assists at home recently, the matchup against Memphis is intriguing. Historically, he's managed just 10.4 assists against them at home, which suggests a slight dip in production when facing this defensive squad. The Grizzlies are known for tightening their perimeter defense, which could impede Jokic's playmaking opportunities, especially if his teammates aren't hitting shots. With an expected stat value of 8.8, it's clear the trend might be leaning towards a quieter night in terms of assists. Betting on the under here feels like a smart play, especially given the implied probability of 50%. Don't be surprised if he focuses more on scoring than distributing tonight.

When the Denver Nuggets host the Memphis Grizzlies, all eyes will be on Nikola Jokic, but we might want to consider betting against the reigning MVP hitting the over on 23.5 combined rebounds and assists. Sure, Jokic has been a monster at home, averaging 14.6 rebounds and 13 assists over his last five games in Denver. However, in this particular matchup, he's faced challenges against Memphis, with averages dipping slightly to 14 rebounds and 10.4 assists. The Grizzlies tend to slow the game down, and Jokic could find his opportunities limited. With an expected stat value of just 20.5, this looks like a classic scenario where the star might struggle to eclipse the total. Recent history shows he's only hit the over in two of his last three home games, making the under a compelling play here. Sometimes, even the best have an off night, and this could be one of those moments.
