Nikola Jokic (Denver Nuggets) Under 23.5 Rebounds + Assists (+100)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As Nikola Jokic steps onto the court against the Portland Trail Blazers, it's tempting to expect a monster performance. However, the numbers suggest he might fall short of the 23.5 rebounds and assists mark. Over his last five games, Jokic has been averaging a robust 15.2 rebounds and 12.8 assists, but when playing at home against the Blazers, his averages dip slightly to 13.2 rebounds and 10.2 assists. The matchup isn't as favorable as it first appears, with Jokic managing just 20.78 combined rebounds and assists against Portland. Given that he's only surpassed the 23.5 threshold in two of the last three home games, and with the Blazers' defensive scheme likely aimed at limiting his contributions, betting the under feels like a savvy move. The trend is clear: in this matchup, a lower output for Jokic is very much on the table.

Deni Avdija (Portland Trail Blazers) Under 39.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-108)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As we gear up for the matchup between the Denver Nuggets and Portland Trail Blazers, targeting Deni Avdija for Under 39.5 combined points, rebounds, and assists feels like a savvy move. While Avdija has shown promise, his numbers tell a different story when he's on the road. Averaging just 13.4 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 5.8 assists against this opponent away from home, he's struggled to find his rhythm in hostile environments.Even more telling is his overall hit rate, with a solid 14 out of his last 19 games going under this mark. The Nuggets, known for their defensive prowess, will likely clamp down on him, and with an expected stat value of just 33.62, it's clear Avdija may fall short of the required total. In a high-stakes game, the pressure could further hinder his performance. Bet wisely on the under!

Donovan Clingan (Portland Trail Blazers) Under 13.5 Rebounds + Assists (+104)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Trail Blazers gear up to face the Nuggets on April 7, keep an eye on Donovan Clingan's performance, particularly when it comes to his rebounds and assists. With a combined prop set at 13.5, the under presents a compelling opportunity. Clingan's recent averages show he's managing about 10 rebounds and just 1.4 assists over his last five games-numbers that dip even further in away matchups. Historically against Denver, he's averaging 12.8 boards, but that drops to a modest 11.27 when you factor in the assists. Plus, with a hit rate of just 50% in his last 14 away games, he's shown inconsistency on the road. The Nuggets' strong interior defense could further hinder his chances, making the under a savvy play in this matchup. Expect a solid performance, but not quite enough to clear that 13.5 mark.
