Nikola Jokic (Denver Nuggets) Under 15.5 Rebounds (-345)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Denver Nuggets gear up to face the Minnesota Timberwolves, all eyes are on Nikola Jokic, but not for the reasons you might think. While he's a rebounding machine, the numbers suggest he may fall short of 15.5 boards tonight. In his last five games, Jokic has averaged just 12.6 rebounds, and at home, that number dips slightly to 13.6. Facing the Timberwolves, he's pulled down an average of 14 rebounds, but this is a matchup where his scoring and playmaking will likely take center stage. Moreover, Jokic has hit the under on this rebounding mark in an impressive 16 of his last 18 home games. Given this trend, paired with the Nuggets' depth and their strategic playstyle, it seems prudent to take the under. Expect him to facilitate rather than dominate the glass tonight-making that 15.5 line a tough mountain to climb.
