Nikola Jokic (Denver Nuggets) Under 15.5 Rebounds (-385)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Nuggets gear up to face the Timberwolves, all eyes will be on Nikola Jokic and his rebounding prowess. However, taking the under on his total rebounds at 15.5 seems like a savvy play. Despite his undeniable talent, Jokic has averaged just 12.6 rebounds over his last five games, and at home, that number ticks up only slightly to 13.6. Against Minnesota, he's averaged 14 rebounds, but in the friendly confines of Ball Arena, he's hit a solid 13.2 against them recently. Plus, consider the Nuggets' recent trend-Jokic has gone under this mark in 16 of his last 18 home games. With an expected stat value of just 12.41, backing the under looks not only appealing but smart. The numbers suggest the reigning MVP might focus more on playmaking tonight, rather than cleaning the glass.
