Nikola Jokic (Denver Nuggets) Under 13.5 Rebounds (-130)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

When the Denver Nuggets host the Minnesota Timberwolves, all eyes will be on Nikola Jokic, but betting on him to grab under 13.5 rebounds might be the play to make. Although Jokic has the prowess to dominate on the boards, recent trends suggest a shift. Over his last five games, he's averaged 12.6 rebounds, and at home, that number slightly creeps up to 13.6. However, against the Timberwolves, he's only managed 13.2 rebounds on average in their past encounters at home. Moreover, in his last 14 home games, Jokic has exceeded this mark just eight times. With an expected stat value of 12.41, the numbers lean toward this being a challenging matchup for him to reach that 13.5 threshold. Given these insights, backing the under seems like a savvy move as Jokic faces a stout Minnesota team that knows how to box out effectively.
