Nikola Jokic (Denver Nuggets) Under 13.5 Rebounds (-123)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Denver Nuggets host the Portland Trail Blazers, all eyes will be on Nikola Jokic, but a closer look suggests that betting on him to grab under 13.5 rebounds could be the savvy play. While Jokic has averaged 15.2 rebounds over his last five games, the matchup against Portland reveals a different story. Historically, he's pulled down just 11.8 boards against them, and that number dips to 13.2 when playing at home. Additionally, his recent home performance shows an 8-4 record hitting under this mark in his last 12 games at the Ball Arena. With the Nuggets looking to spread the floor, Jokic may find himself involved in more perimeter play rather than dominating the paint. Given these trends, targeting the under on his rebounds feels like a well-informed move in what could be a tighter contest than expected.
