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

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 this may not be the game where he dominates the boards. While Jokic has averaged 15.2 rebounds over his last five games, his numbers against Portland tell a different story. Historically, he averages just 11.8 rebounds against them, and even at home, that number rises only to 13.2. With the Nuggets likely to lean on their perimeter shooting against a Blazers team that has struggled defensively, Jokic might find himself less engaged in rebounding battles. Not to mention, he's hit the under on 13.5 rebounds in eight of his last 12 home games. Given these trends and an expected stat value of 11.85, taking the under on Jokic's rebounds feels like a smart play in this matchup.
