As the Denver Nuggets gear up to face the Portland Trail Blazers, all eyes will be on Nikola Jokic, particularly regarding his assists total. While averaging just a shade over 11 assists in his last five games, his home performances tell a different story, dropping to about 10.8. The Trail Blazers are no pushovers, either; historically, Jokic has averaged just 8.4 assists against them, and even less-9.4-when playing at home. With a hit rate of 73% on the under in his last 11 home games, the odds significantly favor a quieter night for Jokic in the playmaking department. Given these trends, betting on Jokic to fall under 11.5 assists seems like a savvy play. The numbers align perfectly, suggesting the reigning MVP might not need to set up as many scoring opportunities this time around.
