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

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Nuggets gear up to face the Timberwolves, all eyes will be on Nikola Jokic, but betting on him to go under 13.5 rebounds might just be the smarter play. While Jokic typically thrives at home, averaging 13.6 boards recently, he's been held to 12.6 over his last five games overall. The Timberwolves, notorious for their aggressive rebounding, have managed to limit him to an average of 13.2 boards at home in their last encounters. With a hit rate of just 57% for Jokic going over this line at home in the past 14 games, it's clear that he's not a lock. Factor in his expected stat value of 12.41, and you can see the under has some solid backing. It's a calculated risk that could pay off in what should be an intense matchup.
