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

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Denver Nuggets gear up to face the Minnesota Timberwolves, all eyes will be on Nikola Jokic's rebounding prowess. However, betting on him to grab over 13.5 boards might not be the wisest move this time. Despite his reputation, Jokic has averaged just 12.6 rebounds in his last five outings and 13.6 at home, where he typically shines. Against the Timberwolves, he's averaged 14 rebounds, but take into account the recent trend: he's only hit the over in 8 of his last 14 home games. This matchup could see the Nuggets spreading the floor, limiting his opportunities on the boards. With an expected stat value of 12.41, the under seems not just plausible but a strategic play. Jokic's brilliance often lies in playmaking, which might take precedence over crashing the glass this Saturday.
