Nikola Jokic (Denver Nuggets) Under 13.5 Rebounds (-128)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Denver Nuggets gear up to face the Portland Trail Blazers, all eyes will be on Nikola Jokic's rebounding numbers. While his reputation as a dominant force under the boards is well-earned, recent trends suggest we might want to back the under on his rebounding total of 13.5. In his last five outings, Jokic has averaged 15.2 boards, but his numbers dip against the Blazers, sitting at just 11.8 per game. At home, this trend continues, with an average of 13.2 rebounds against Portland-but the Nuggets have a strong supporting cast that could siphon off some of those opportunities. Over the last 12 home games, he's only hit this mark eight times, giving us a solid foundation to believe that tonight could be another lower output. Given these insights, it's prudent to lean towards the under on Jokic's rebounds, as the matchup favors a more balanced team effort.
